We found out we were expecting Carson. Hard to believe that it was two years ago already! Andrew was about the same age as Carson is now when we found out, actually Carson is two weeks older. I can not imagine to be expecting another child right now. Here are some reasons why....
Carson seems so little to be expecting another child! Part of that is that Carson is tiny for his age. It is also that we have an older child too, so Carson will seem little compared to Andrew.
Carson is just now finally starting to sleep through the night, and that is still probably only 50% of the time. I need a year or two of sleeping through the night myself before I even think about having another child! :)
I have a hard enough time running errands with these two boys, to add a third child to the mix might leave me a little too confined to the house right now.
I really could go on and on with more reasons why, but really I am just enjoying Andrew & Carson at the stages they are in right now. When I think back to when Carson was born, it seemed like there was a lot of pressure on Andrew to be the big boy. I remember the night we all came home from the hospital. Chad was taking Andrew up to bed and he was struggling with us being home after being with Grandma & Grandpa and this new baby being there....Andrew was crying really hard and I couldn't help but think (as I cried too) What have we done to poor Andrew?? So for now I will cling to my perception of Carson being my little baby and let him just be his age, not forced to be the big boy.

This sounds identical to my experience. I look at Isaac and think, "In a few weeks with Jonah we were bringing home a baby?!!!" Isaac still seems so little. I think that being a 2 year old big brother forces you to grow up pretty quickly. I'm glad I'm not doing it quite as closely again.
