LeeAndra pinged me on FB to come reply to this thread. She's so crazy.

My motto for life: "the only baby you'll ever regret is the one you didn't have"

Of course I have 6 kids and my life is chaos. Seriously, it just depends. If you want another baby you will find a way to make it work, if it's a passing bout of baby lust then it will pass. Homeschooling with a newborn is cake. Homeschooling with a toddler is more challenging but it's not the end of the world. Toddlers still take naps and you can easily cover the big stuff in that 2 hour time slot and do the fun things with baby in tow. I wouldn't hesitate but I have 6 kids and I kinda like it.

The only thing about your original post that give me pause is that you weren't even thinking of adding to your family until your dh brought it up, I'd just make sure it's not a fleeting idea before you take action.

Oh - as to the "if you have 3 you might as well have 6" comment - I whole heartedly disagree. 3 requires some organization and some effort but 3 is no 6. Trust me.
