Voting has Begun!!

Chris and I have been in much discussion about adding on to our family with a third baby. It is extremely hard to determine if we really want another baby or if we just miss the boys being babies. We would not be "trying for a girl", we would be trying to have a baby. We are both really on the fence. We thought it would be fun to list our pros and cons and let everyone else vote. Of course the resutls will have no impact on our decision.
Pros
1. Our boys love babies (especially Luke) and are very gentle and loving with them.
2. Another sibiling and friend for life for the boys.
3. Having another little baby to hold in our arms and love unconditionally.
Con
1. Money--College, babysitting, clothing, food...
2. Being "strapped down" for a while...not being able to just pick up and go.
3. I had high-risk pregnancies with both boys. I was on bedrest for 3-weeks with Jake and 9-weeks with Luke. Although I felt great, my blood pressure was dangerously high. I think that is the biggest draw back for Chris.

  1. I would love to see a baby in the Bechert house!!!
    Having said that....I totally understand all the cons...I will just pray that God makes his will happen!!! Plus you can always come and cuddle this new little one on the way.....I won't say no.
