We have 4 and DH wants a 5th like yesterday. I'm still on the fence. He is the youngest of 5 and I grew up an only child at home.
I'm a SAHM again. My kids ages are spread out now. Our son is 16, dd will be 13 in July, ds2 is 10, baby bear is 9 months. (Yes he was planned). It really hasn't been too hard at all. The older ones actually adore baby bro and WANT to help and play with him all the time. They rarely HAVE to help aka Duggar style parenting but there are times when DH isn't home and I need a hand.
I'm more scared about the possibility of a 5th. I honestly can't remember when dd and ds2 were toddler/baby at the same time. Does that mean it was so bad that my mind blocked it out?!?!
A woman in our Bradley class was having baby #9. She said going from 3 to 4 was the hardest transition. I have a hard time wrapping my brain around that.
