I’ve been working on this post for about a month, since Hubby had his Vasectomy last month making us both “fixed”.  I never end up happy with what I’ve written and re-write it so now I’m giving up and I’m going to hit the publish button anyway.

My feelings on this are mixed.  We’re done, no ifs ands or buts about it.  However there is still a mourning period to be had.  We are happy with having 3 children, the problem is I’m going to miss being pregnant.

I have a love/hate relationship with pregnancy.  I love feeling movement but I hate feeling crappy and my digestive issues mixed with pregnancy do a number on both me and baby.  I almost lost both Thing 1 and Thing 3 at the end and had Thing 2 not come early on his own I imagine his life would have been in danger too.  Clearly it is in everyone’s best interest that we don’t push our luck anymore.

Add all of that with the stress of TTC (trying to conceive), miscarriage and the year it took us to get pregnant with Thing 2 and done isn’t even a strong enough word to describe where we are.

I’m still sad about it.  The mourning is starting to shift a bit to where I’m excited about having my figure back.  I’m also loving the freedom of never having to worry about birth control again.  Sure, it still could happen but the odds are against that.  I’m finding myself jealous of those pregnant around me.

I’ll get over it I’m sure.

How have any of you who are also done coped?
