He Neutered His Dog and Spayed His Wife. …Wait, What???

Yes, you read that right. I'm done. Done. DONE!

I've always thought I would have 5 kids, but I also thought I would have 3 boys and 2 girls. With at least one set of twins… (Thank you, Lord, for not answering that one!) I have 3 girls and 1 boy. When I had the boy, my Doctor asked if we wanted to make it permanent. I said no way! They handed me that little boy, that beautiful little dream come true that looked so much like my Uncle, for some reason. In fact, he looked like His Uncle too! And all I could say was, "I want another one!" (My poor Darling Adventure Man.) But this last time, I also knew just as strongly, that there was no one else waiting to come to our family. We were done.

So the night after the "procedure" my Darling asked me how I was.

I'm fine, I say.

He says, I'm kind of disapointed.

What???

You know, it's so final.

W.H.A.T! I'm thinking.

You know, He says. Are we really that old?

  1. I'm wondering the same thing right now! We've always said three, but after I have this little precious will I really be ready to say that's it? I hope I have the feeling like you did and just know if there is another child waiting to be born into our family.

    1. I actually declared myself done after just two. But then five years later I wanted more. But at the time, I knew if we had one more, we would have two more. So, I'm no help!

    1. LOL! Not TMI if you think about the conversations I've had with my family. Remember, "You were conceived…" as dinner small talk!
