It's so refreshing to hear people actually speak positive about loving babies. And loving their kids. I have so many baby hang ups because of the negativity that exists online. 😭😭😭
Just became a mom in March. Literally the best thing in the world. Challenging for sure, but absolutely amazing.
Right? I don’t even think the negativity is even authentic I think it’s like the “cool” thing to be negative. And not just about babies but about your spouse as well. If we pay attention to media, Hollywood, social media no one would have kids or get married. Both seem dreadful and pointless when in actuality both are beautiful aspects of life.
@@thesagetraveler7649 Congrats kinda late! 😉 ❤It is single handily the most challenging and yet rewarding experience ever and fyi with 4 grown young men now it doesn’t ever stop being exactly this however WOW the ten times fold that comes back as they grow and mature shewy then you add the intricate details of having grandchildren. Whew it just gets awesome (and Challenging 😅) in even more ways!!
It is literally the very best thing ever. ❤
As a parent of four boys, it is the third that is most challenging. That ratio change is the most difficult. Our third son was by far the easiest, however, just adding him to the mix caused quite the uproar. Once you get passed that, any additional kiddo is just another new team mate! ❤️
Agree 💯 % as a mama of 4 boys also ❤️
Mama of 5sons and one girl boys are so much easier my girl the fighter and mad jealous boys just love they mumx
I have two boys and felt like that’s all we would have had.
We had our first 2 kids back to back. They are 19 months apart. We had a girl first and then a boy. As soon as we had our 2nd I knew I wanted one more. I wanted to have our 3rd immediately but my husband was not ready! Our 2nd and 3rd are 3 years and 5 months apart. I feel I enjoyed all the little things more with our 3rd. With the first 2 it’s survival mode and I feel you take these for granted. With the 3rd and last I held on more to the little things. Soak all of it up! This quote circles in my head constantly “ the days are long but the years are short”. ❤️
My husband told me all my markka from pregnancy ( stretch marks, c section etc) are just beautiful road maps from our children. He said it’s beautiful. It made me smile like forever.
The way Shawn talks about her body after everything she has been through with haters and ED is sooo inspirational! Body image is such a hard thing to deal with especially in her case when people always point out the differences since having babies I’m so happy for her 🥰💕
While you said no minivan, we just got a Toyota Sienna and love it! It's a hybrid, has lots of room, don't have to worry about kids slamming the doors, and you can get the Woodland Edition that is a little more sporty with roof racks and a tow hitch.
Can I just say, don't pressure mama? Don't pressure mama. We carry SO much through a pregnancy that men will never understand. Grow family through adoption, or fostering. Pregnancy is so hard, and I get what Shawn is saying. It's so much easier for a fun to want to grow the family when he doesn't experience it. Out of all love for you guys, let Shawn be ready us she ever is
Having just experienced a miscarriage, so much of what you said was very healing. Andrew, I loved what you said about everything being part of the story. 💕
Yall really should consider adoption. Yall make PHENOMENAL parents and ANY child would be SO lucky to have you.
As a mother of 5 kids, the transition from 2-3 was the hardest for us. It was the first time we were out numbered. It made things more complicated. However, by the time #4 & #5 came along it was much easier. Part of that I think is the older kids were able to help do other things while I tended to the newborn needs. One would fold the clean clothes, or vacuum the floor, and I didn’t feel so overwhelmed by it all. Sending prayers for wisdom. Great episode today!
I could listen to you both, all day, seriously. It's SO interesting to hear each of your input re both marriage and parenting. Thank you!
I love how you guys talk things out in a respectful, calm manner. Great topic!! Been thinking about this myself : )
Love this!!!! Your faith will carry you through. You have a strong, loving relationship and it is so good to see and watch your journey. ❤️💕💜
You two are amazing. Thanks for being so real and so relatable it really helps all of us mothers through all we’re dealing with ❤️
My aunt says: 2 is not enough and 3 is too many 🙃
You two are amazing! I am right there with you on the "not loving pregnancy" thing. I love all 3 of my girls more than I ever thought imaginable, but I DID NOT love the pregnancy part. I am in awe of the miracle of it all, but do not love the 9-ish months of being pregnant. I would deliver babies every year over being pregnant. My deliveries were easy and surprisingly enjoyable. I respect you guys having open, honest conversation about this with the world.
Loved this episode and your honesty about the realities of being parents, positives or negatives. I had 4 kids in 5 1/2 years and I wouldn't change my family for anything. It was hard at times but also so beautiful. Good luck with your journey
I just love you guys!! Thank you for being so open to everyone..I mean everyone about your journey in life.
You both are the absolute best !!
It's awesome to watch/listen 👂 and can't wait for the next episode. I have to say you make beautiful babies!!
Shawn you rock as a mom!! Being a mom is the best gift God can ever give a woman. You're a beautiful young woman!!
I am a grandma and done with the years of raising our kids but I just love to listen to your words of wisdom. I love how you are both honest and complimentary of each other. Thanks for sharing your trust in God through all of this.
We’d never really be able to know/feel what love is without having felt sorrow. Those are words spoken from the wise, my pastor, and they’ve stuck with me throughout the years so I thought I’d pass them on!
Love this episode! You will both know when it’s time to try again. You are such wonderful parents and I know you will be happy with whatever you decide. Blessed to be on the journey with you. I have three girls myself and I can say middle child syndrome is a thing BUT that is not at all a dealbreaker for a third kiddo. ❤️❤️ Blessings to you in your decision.
Yes!! I have 7 kids, and for sure the hardest was going from 2 to 3 kids. It's because you're out numbered! Not enough hands to help all the kids. Once you hit 4, it's just chaos all the time no matter what. But by that time you're older and able to roll with it all better.
Oh gosh, 😂 I’m pregnant with 4th. 🙏
7 kids !!!! That’s ridiculous. That’s not having a family, that’s a litter !
I love you guys so much! It’s awesome how well you guys communicate. You guys are amazing parents and any child be it adopted or a bio child would be so lucky to have you guys as their parents! Your videos are an amazing part of my life and it’s amazing that you discuss so many relatable topics. I’ve found so many awesome products due to your videos! I took the plunge and got Boll and Branch everything for my bed! Thank you for making everyone’s life better for just being you and sharing your life experiences! 🤗
My three brothers and I , 4 of us in five years. It’s the absolute best! I love them with all my heart. My sisters in law’s are the best! Like you said, all going through the same season of life together ♥️ I have 3 in five years. My children are grown and also very close. Beautiful discussion.
I love y’all so much. My husband and I got married last year and are planning out our baby timeline right now. I love watching how y’all navigate this phase of life so gracefully while being so genuine. So much love for you both. Ps. I’m team 3rd baby 🤷🏼♀️
I had one awesome pregnancy and two tough ones. It's crazy, how different they are!!
This was great guys thanks, so many great points. Excited for you guys to try for baby #3!
Thank you to both of you! I'm 61, married 33 years, and my kids are adults. So, listening to the 2 of you talk about your faith and the love you have for your kids makes me smile so wide! Hearing about your experience brings back memories of when my wife and I were having babies. May God continue to bless you in all that you do.
Thank you Shawn for articulating that struggle of deciding to have a 3rd. We had a boy and a girl after 2 miscarriages. Then my son was a difficult birth and my daughter could have died during birth if a specialist doctor wasnt called in to get the merconium out of her lungs. We also had friends that lost a child in the first year of life due to genetic issues. I feel absolutely blessed to have the 2 healthy kids we do. We ended up not going for a 3rd. We just couldnt bring ourselves to possibly go through that stress again and decided to pour 100% of our focus on the kids we already have. Its a tough decision. Good luck!
I was adopted...and it was the most beautiful thing to happen to me...that child would be so blessed
Have babies and be blessed! God bless life and family! Especially large families!
You will know. I had 2, said no more….4 years later we added. I think in the moment of 2 littles, you can’t see outside the chaos. But everyone does what works best for them!!
I think whatever is right for your family is right for you’re family! Also I would talk to your doctor too! Your babies are blessing for sure
Good episode...you 2 are a great team....things will happen as they are meant to and you'll manage as you are now. Great fund loving parents that are a wonderful couple!!! Thx for sharing!!! Hugs to The East Fam 🤗
I'm in my 60s, and have no biologic children. That said, I have to side with Shawn... When the time is right, she'll know WHEN she's ready to try again. Whenever that happens, Andrew will be the second to know. Shawn will be the first.
They're NOT stretch marks, they're tiger stripes, and Shawn has EARNED them, no doubt.
Y'all continue to keep it honest and clear on every topic. It's truly appreciated! I am 57 and just lost my brother (59) in June. He was my one constant in my life as we came from divorced parents. Siblings are a true blessing. My world has forever changed and I try to find a new normal daily. I do know this.....I will forever be his "Baby Sister" and he my "Bubba!"
I LOVE YOU Guys!! I’ve been watching You since before Y’all got married & I live in Franklin TN. You guys are so real & entertaining! I loved your journey through love & parenthood!!! I love watching y’all continue to live your lives through babies & traveling! I feel like I really know you guys!! Y’all are both very special people. I Love You so much!!!
Just found you guys, such a beautiful couple. Will always watch. Thanks
Loved this episode so much!
I love this episode so much, thank you both for taking the time to do this! You will know when your family feels complete! We are personally a 2 child family and that's where we stopped because our family feels complete to us. ❤️
I always ask my sister this how do you know when your done? I know I’m no where near done I have three. Did you have this grand feeling of like okay we’re done we’re content this is it ?
I have 4 brothers and sisters and life has been so fun with them. We are now all in our 20s and 30s and us and our spouses are all best friends. My dad says his only regret in life is not having more kids. I’m all for as many kids as possible!
You two are so cute!! Your family is beautiful!! Thanks for sharing everything with us!! Go make that baby😉❤️
I enjoyed every second. Thank u for all that u both share.
Children are something you should feel 100% about. So it’s a valid thing to work through your fears and concerns before committing to a decision.
Thank you for the captions!
andrew is so gentle and well-spoken. Couldn´t be a greater fan of how high he sets the bar ;-)
Love this conversation....Special moments happen at All ages and if you put off having a baby because you are afraid to miss special moments with your other kids, you will never have another child.....
I truly loved this episode because I like that they are open to different perspectives and I really enjoyed hearing Shawn's journey with the pregnancies. It is really rare to meet a man who doesn't want to control a woman so I really enjoyed hearing how he will accept whatever she wants to do. Very sweet. They are a great team. I don't know if they will read my comment but I do want to share my story in hopes it will low-key be put on the next podcast. I right now am 26 years old. I actually have never wanted kids and I have known since I was 14 years old. I used to tell people proudly and people would just dismiss me, including my family members. However, they are more understanding now. I had a wonderful family. Both parents together and worked as a team to raise my brother and I. Yes our family has been through hardships but at the end of the day, they are the most important people to me. I value my family a lot. I would do anything for them. Now I have also learned a lot about knowing what I want and going after it. My mom raised me and my brother and my dad went to work. He was the provider. My mom loved to work, she loved to be independent. When she had my brother and I, that all disappeared. My brother had learning issues and she had to help him, then she had me and , I am a handful just because I am me haha. She loves both of us and doesn't regret anything, however, she gave up her freedom and she remembers thinking, "I wish I could be free like everyone else". Now I know in this day and age I could work and be a mom , however, I know that isn't something I would do. I would have to be a career woman, or stay at home mom, no in between. I am someone who will not do both, because , I simply am not wonder woman and refuse to take on that title/ role. I want to have a husband I want to love him till I die, but I want to live my life to the fullest. Based off my perspective, thats having my freedom, thats being able to always put myself first , if I have children, putting myself first will no longer be attainable, in my eyes. I like kids, I respect people who have a strong family unit. I think its amazing, but I would never dare to do it. To go further , I actually want to get my tubes tied when I turn 30 or 35 years old, the latest. I am actually excited for that day to come because I am always an anxious wreck when I have sex(protected). I am always afraid of getting pregnant, I have had many mental breakdowns over it. I am sure people can relate to me on that note. I also want to add that I work in a profession where I deal with people who have mental illnesses, and that is basically like parenting, except I get to go home after 4:30pm. I do want to add that as a woman it is incredibly hard to date when you have this viewpoint I have learned. I have been rejected left and right purely because of this . I understand it is a deal breaker but it can feel isolating and self- esteem crippling, especially in the dating world. I am on my way to becoming more independent, and I love my family dearly, I would do anything for them, but as for starting my own , I will stick to my fur babies. I really would love to share my perspective on the next episode, hopefully this gets seen.
Andrew would love it, that way Andrew has Shawn hooked...he's playing the roll yea he would love it..
We have 3 kiddos, all 3 years apart. When we had our third, our family just felt complete. Just like any siblings, they have their days where they're just tired of each other. As far as a family vehicle, we have a Ford Expedition and love it! The leg room is great and it's perfect for car seats because you can flip the seat with the car seat attached so people can get in the 3rd row.
That was a great video! I hope you decide to have a 3rd child eventually - you will NEVER regret it ! 🙏🙏❤️❤️
And a 4th!
No way! 0-1 transition was the hardest! 2-3 was the easier by far 😍
Y'all have me in tears. The loving way you two talk about Drew and Jett is refreshing. I've had 6 pregnancies and only 2 live births. My first 3 pregnancies ended in miscarriage at 14 weeks (so did my 6th pregnancy). Out of 6 pregnancies I only took one baby home with me at the time of discharge. My two babies are now 24 and 25 year old men!!! The oldest was in NICU for 2 weeks because he was born 5 weeks early and needed help breathing. They are the light of my life and was my rock when we unexpectedly lost their Dad/my husband 7 years ago at the age of 53. He was able to see our 2 daughters and our 2 sons in heaven before I was. I am grateful to have had the experience in spite of the pain it caused me. I would do it all over again. I pray blessings in your journey and your family, Shawn and Andrew (btw...Andrew was my husband's name but went my Andy. Y'all have very similar personalities).
I LOVE the new set up! :)
Loved this! ❤️ and so needed it whew just took our 4th of 4 sons to college and hubs and I both are just a mess whewy 😭 Gonna be different but we’ll keep praying and getting through it together for sure.
Such a sweet couple! They really enjoy kids.
We had our third and final baby 15 months ago (all of our kids are three years apart…not planned) but we LOVE our Lincoln Navigator! It’s perfect for our family!!
This is beautiful
Tears of joy
Yes do explore adoption
you guys are so great....thank you so much.....
Gosh you guys make me so happy; I love watching your podcasts they truly make my day! I have one baby and my wife and i are talking about a second but we probably are going to wait a year but im hoping so bad for a second!
Go for the 3rd! ❤️ 2 to 3 for us was easy, it had it’s challenges at times, but wasn’t hard. 3 to 4 for us was so hard. It rocked our world in the best ways, and in some really hard ways! I think everyone has that 1 that’s really hard for them. My sister’s was going from 1 to 2. It all just depends. I’m also 1 of 5, I’m the 3rd. I always loved having a big family, and being so close with all my siblings!! ❤️ Y’all are so awesome! It’s nice watching a couple who values their marriage, and family so much!! ❤️
Shawn, you are such an awesome person and such a great role model. I really wish I could meet a woman like you or a man like andrew. I really wish you and your family nothing but the very best for the rest of your lives.
Nice show! Birth order matters to me. I can't generalize but depending on if you are only child or birth order definitely plays a role on who we are as people.
Everything you guys say is how I feel about having one. I know more than anything that I want a baby someday, but the thought is so overwhelming
Agreed
As a 51 yr old woman with my one and only 26 yr old daughter..I still where my c-section scar and tiger stripes with pride! Best thing I ever done. Xoxox from Dallas Texas ❤️
My personal thoughts are; 1) Andrew is definitely more aware and appreciative of what you, Shawn, went through while being pregnant. I didn’t have that awareness and appreciation… that is a big PRO when considering more kids. 2) Shawn, you’re maternal desire to give the best of you to your kids, while not wanting to lose the relationship between a husband and wife is one of the most difficult challenges a woman will ever experience. This is not just a job you can turn around one day and say I quit ! I don’t know where my strength has come from, but through every single high and low, I know I will never quit being there for my family. I see that strength in the two of you.
May your journey be blessed with as many children God has chosen to give you. 🤍
My oldest daughter is pregnant with her 3rd baby girl in 3 years, but God is 100% control!!!
Can we normalize being honest about not enjoying pregnancy? Of course the excitement of the end result is worth it beyond measure. And it is so great for the women that enjoy their pregnancies. But it is so hard for some people to go through-it’s okay to say you don’t enjoy the process to get to the end result. I’m glad you guys touched on this topic!
Financially we are good with 1 child. We struggle now, but it's worth it for our son.
I have 3 kids under 5 (almost 6) and I wouldn’t change it for the world! Our first two are just like yours at 21 months apart. Our 2nd and 3rd are 29 months apart. I was very much on the fence of having a 3rd. To be honest it terrified me. But my mom heart knew that I wanted more. The best gift we will ever give our children is each other. My oldest and youngest are boys with a daughter in the middle and it’s simply the best. The always changing dynamic between the 3 of them is a blessing to watch play out. When people ask me what it was like having the 3rd, here is what I tell them: Going from 1 to 2 was the hardest because you are learning to juggle. Going from 2-3, you already know how to juggle, you’re just adding in another ball! In seriousness tho, you are already in the thick of it and everything you are already doing for your current 2, just triples, in a good way! I’m definitely team 3!
Currently 29 weeks pregnant with our first. I think I want four kids, but pregnancy has been tougher than I thought (and I've had a great pregnancy compared to many). It's a lot to think about and worry about. But God's will be done! God bless your family as you navigate life together.
My first pregnancy ended in loss at 33 weeks my son was born and we found out he didn’t have kidneys and he passed less than 24 hours later and I had to have a c section with that pregnancy… after I had a miscarriage and now I have a healthy 4 year old and almost 3 year old and both were c sections and I chose to have my tubes removed because my risk for complication during birth increased after I had already had 3 c sections. I wonder sometimes how it would be if I had another but then I’m so happy and content and blessed to have the healthy happy babies I have now! Whatever you choose to do that’s exactly how God planned it for you!!
You’ll know when/if you’re ready and I will say after two it is chaos, but it’s lovely! I have 4 girls and said we’re done now…no regrets. As they began leaving home for their own lives (oldest 25 and married) that was hardest. Parenting wasn’t easy, but learning to let go and be a side part of their lives is tough. Not excited about empty nesting as youngest enters college fall 2023! Thanks for sharing, discussing, and educating through experience.
Omg I have never thought about this. I have 1 baby girl and I'm pregnant with our second...And I never realized that one day, I'll have to experience being an empty nester and learn to be a side part of my children's lives...how shocking but also sobering and helpful to remind me to enjoy this time and know it doesn't last forever.
The Volvo XC-90 is a great family suv. There has never been a death recorded in this suv. This is our 3rd one.
I did foster care years ago and at times there were 5 kids and it was definitely harder. You are stretched thin, it's just the reality of it. It was definitely one of the best things (aside from giving birth) I ever did. As I am typing you are bringing up traveling with 3 car seats. Omgoodness it was a lot of work with 3 babies and toddlers in seats when I had to go shopping or run in places while running errands. I have great respect for parents of multiples. Every day with everything you do would definitely get taxing especially if you are alone.
Andrew. You two have been parents to three. A miscarriage is still a lost child. The next child is pregnancy #4. Believe me I know what Shawn feels. I went threw the same thing. My last child was three weeks early, lost down to five pounds within three days, but is so beautiful today with two beautiful children of her own. Go with your faith, believe in that, rely on that and it will be fine. Much love to you both. ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
No one ever told me that we would be out numbered once we had 2 kids! Babies are wonderful, as are our children at every age! It just takes a different level of parenting with more! Once they start with their activities and friends, or going on vacations there just are moments where one feels splintered. Worth it in the end, but sort of trial by fire for sure! Do what your hearts tell you, then you know it will be right for you.
I have 8 children and I can say 3 is the hardest! After 3 is a piece of cake. 😊
Thank you for sharing.
I was adopted.
I had a loving strong bond with my adopted parents.
I was truly blessed to have such wonderful parents.
I was an only child.
My adopted mom was unable to bear children.
I was blessed with son , he is 12 now.
I love my son with all my heart.
I just had this conversation with my husband yesterday. If you plan on getting pregnant you should also be prepared for the possibility of a complicated pregnancy, birth or medically complex or disabled baby. It can happen to anyone and you never know. I had a rough first pregnancy - I had HG which basically makes you live like you have a stomach bug for 8 months. It was awful and I had bad PTSD and PPD after. My daughter is 2 now and I can’t imagine being that sick and still giving her the care she deserves. I know I have a 75% chance of having another HG pregnancy and so I have to prepare for that. We do want another but I want to wait till my daughter is at least 3 or 4 so she can understand a little better what’s going on when mommy is sick and be able to play on her own for short period of time while I’m in the bathroom vomiting. Our kindergarten also offers afterschool programs from 3 so if I’m afmitted to hospital (inevitably) she will be safe and taken care of while my husband works.
I don’t drink wine anymore simply because I am a grumpy baby the next morning and my daughter deserves my best self. So my point is, sometimes in order to protect your children you HAVE to think worst case scenario and be prepared for it. It’s our job as parents.
Great episode! I love you two and your devotion to not only YOUR growing family but BOTH your parents and extended families. And as a Mama of a daughter,son and son and daughter by marriage who've blessed us with 7 beautiful gbabies and a very devoted love affair with my husband for 46 years----THE BEST IS YET TO BE!! NEVER,let fear keep you from blessings!!
🙏💛💛🙏
No mini vans. I had a tahoe when my kids were young. Loved my tahoe and it was the perfect sized car for 3 kids and all their sports equipment!!
When she said “where do I have stretch marks?” 😂👀 his face
My family of 4 just got a Chrysler voyager and I am SO in love with my mini van. I have a 3 yr old and an 8 month old. This vehicle WILL change your life for the better! Rent one and try it out!!!
Life changer!!
I 100% felt the difference of not “bouncing back” after the second kid compared to the first. It is/was a bit defeating how weak and unhealthy I felt and still feel after the second kid. My second kid is 6 months old and I still feel like I have a long road ahead to get back to what my body used to be able to do.
I have 4 kids and 2 to 3 was my hardest transition. My first 2 were also 21 months apart and then 2.5 years between 2 and 3 and you being outnumbered was difficult! But #4 was a lot easier and she was 2.5 years after 3. We have 3 girls and 1 boy. I'm now entering the teenage stage. My oldest just started HS and my baby is 2nd grade. My oldest was born during the 2008 Olympics and I watched Shawn and Nastia in the all around in the hospital. My daughter was a gymnast for many years but is now on the HS Swim Team! My 3rd is in Tumbling. Good luck with your expanding family!
Also want to say that you can’t possibly worry about everything that may go wrong. However, when Andrew mentioned about the siblings having beef with one another that is something you can’t control. You two are wonderful parents and you will raise the children you have in love and acceptance and to love the Lord. Always remember they are going to be their own person. I have had to let some of that guilt and pressure go myself 😄 words of wisdom

Adding a comment. I don’t know how I missed this originally.
Everyone’s experience adding children is SO different. Ultimately you do what you are comfortable with. I am an IVF momma, I always dreamt of 4 children. After SO much heartache and miracles I have 4 under 4.
I went 0-1, 1-3, 3-4 as far as transitions.
Hands down 3-4 was the hardest.
BUT I want to share what made me SO glad for my timing even though I’m so done having more children.
The baby stage! It is adorable it is precious but as Drew and Jett get older and slowly more self sufficient adding a baby, so starting over is SOOO hard.
Right now my 4yr old and twin 3yr olds seem so far advanced from my 13 month old. I would not want any more gap.
It is hard, I’m in the weeds but I’m starting to see the light and I think it’s very important to consider that.
Best of luck as you navigate this decision.
Having a second child scares me because my daughter was born 6.5 weeks early. She was in the NICU for 32 days. I cannot imagine going through that again, although I know I would get through it if I HAD to. I also fear not having enough love/attention for 2 children! Love listening to you both! thank you for being so candid, open, and honest!
A word of encouragement, I have 7 children. My first was a premie. I had a lot of complications with her. But with my 6 boys they were all born full term and no complications at all. It's definitely possible.
And when the time comes, you will have enough love for more than one child. Your heart just grows with each blessing added.
You will always love another child. My first child was early and I have 6 children.
Nothing wrong with one and done either. Lots of One and Done groups on Facebook and they’re filled with people who have birth trauma. It’s a great support even if you eventually to choose to have another.
I love you hair, Shawn
Life is about having faith and taking chances. Let let fear rule you. Embrace the positive and go for it.
Honda Odyssey! Always said I would never have a mini van, but I’ll probably have one until we are empty nesters now. Magic seats in the second row allow you to move two carseats away from the door. Cabin Cam is the best. And you can fit anything in that thing
I really like the fact that Shawn even knows who Baby Huey is.
I agree you never wanna leave the 2 children you have with complications
My sister and I are 14 months apart, then have a brother that is 4 years younger, worked out awesome
“I’ll take what I can get”

I would love to have a 3rd baby but honestly I couldn’t afford another kid!
I say go for it!!!!
Having 4 kids is the best!!!!
