I so get where you're coming from. I'm so very much invested in adopting the next one that the idea of getting pregnant is terrifying to me. Not that we wouldn't manage and be happy, but it's not how I want to do it is all. I've been trying to convince my husband to get snipped for a while now, but he insists he won't until we actually have a second child in our arms. Which makes no sense to me. I'm going to adopt no matter how it happens and we now have tons of money poured into this process. AND he's not going to want to be doing that bit of recovery while there are two smallish children, so I know he'll just wind up putting it off forever. Men and their weird ideas of manhood!
In the meanwhile, I got a Mirena IUD and we're still using condoms even with that because I am that paranoid.
Wow. That's...something. Terrifying? Wonderful? Horrific? Exciting? Marvelous? Nightmarish? Mostly because I want nothing to do with being pregnant or having another baby EVER.
So, good on ya! Better you than me! Congratulations, good luck, may the force be with you, and have fun stormin' the castle. I look forward to reading about the adventure :)
Congratulations! YAY! April 6th is my birthday, so this has to be a spectacularly special baby. ;) Mine are all close together (yes, I had 7 years straight of diapers) but it worked out really well for us. I hope you get to feeling over-the-top excited after you get used to the idea, but until then, I'll squeeeeeee for you.
