Rant: Told my mom who I am really close to that we were trying for baby number 4 and she told me that she wasn’t excited about it and that we didn’t need another one 😞. I told her I was excited and she said she just couldn’t get there. I played it off like I didn’t care but it hurts my feelings so bad I don’t understand why she wouldn’t be excited for us. Ok end of rant.

I'm so sorry! When we told my mom we were pregnant again she got a sad and scared look in her face and said please be careful. I knew it was coming from a well intended place (we lost our previous pregnancy at 14 weeks and it took 4 full months to fully miscarry) but it definitely hurt. Alot of people tell us we don't need anymore and can't understand why we have 3 now. Because we want a big family. And we have always been very open about that. I think it's great you have so much love in your heart and family that you want to add another little! Declan is currently my mom's favorite. In the hospital she told me she doesn't know why but he's got her wrapped around his little finger already. I hope your mom comes around and starts showing you the love and support you deserve. 💞

I'm sorry, I know the feeling. I've expressed the possibility of wanting 4. I never had that "I'm done/complete" feeling after having my third. I'm leaving myself open to a fourth but it wouldn't happen until my youngest was nearing school age. If we want another one then we will try, and if not then we will permanently do something about not having more. When I told my mom this she was shocked and said she would be worried about me, etc. I came from a single child home, so that's a possibility as to why she lacks excitement - but it's also my main reason why I've always wanted a big family.
At the end of the day, if your partner and yourself are excited about baby #4 and have the means to provide for everyone then I dont see any reason why you shouldn't try. Wishing you the best of luck and sticky dust!

@crharmer, thank you very much ❤️❤️ ya we definitely never ask anyone for anything so financially we’re really stable. She says she’s worried about my other kids feeling left out but I have never felt like I leave anyone out so idk what she’s concerned about. It sucks cause we’re so close I just want everyone to be as excited as me lol. O well I guess.

@jessig2006, ❤️❤️❤️ thank you I really appreciate your comment and agreed it shouldn’t come to a shock for anyone I’ve always told everyone after our 3rd I’ve wanted a 4th. It’ll be our last so I just want everyone to at least act happy. And I am so sorry to hear about your miscarriage :( in my opinion it’s no body’s business how many kids we have if we can support them everyone should just be happy but I guess that’s not how it works. But honestly why wouldn’t everyone be super excited about a sweet baby. Good luck to you on your rainbow baby ❤️❤️❤️ again thank u so much for your comment
