Think we found a compromise finally

In case you aren't aware. I've been craving a third child like crazy the last couple of months. I'm not sure what exactly triggered it but it's been there. Dh and I haven't seen eye to eye on this. I want one, he says he does but his attitude about it shows differently.

I have my annual appointment Monday and I told him I was going to see about getting on bc again cause I'm tired of playing games. Now I told him this morning and it took him until this evening to realize that I was serious and that I wanted to talk about it after mentioning it several times.

We did finally talk and his initial reaction was waiting a year. I did however, discover that he's worried about me handling the stress of having three children and having the house taken care of all that goes with it. I do have a tendency to have lots of lazy days and he knows that and he also knows that with three children I can't have those.

The waiting a year didn't go over real well with me. I see it as this, if we wait a year, maybe we'll miss our chance to have a third, even though I know it's all in God's timing, not mine. We talked some more about my thoughts on this. He wanted to know, after I told him it would be nice to take my thoughts into consideration, how long I wanted to wait and if I thought we'd be able to handle three children. I said, I realize it will be a lot of work and that we would really have to be careful with how much we spent and all the stuff that goes with it, but I really want another baby. I've wanted to start trying months ago, before we even moved and that was 3 months ago.

So we compromised on giving it 3 months and then we'll talk about whether we are going to start trying then or wait a little longer. I would like to get the rest of the unpacking done and the rooms into some kind of order before we try and we also have a few things that need done around the house, like some painting and new windows, so 3 months will put us into May/June and the time my sister is due, so that seems like a fair compromise to me.
