Ever since I went to the doctor the other week and he said that he would perform more than just 3 c-sections I have had a lot on my mind.  When I was first told most to all doctors don’t like to perform more than 3 c-sections and that it would be hard to find one that would Tony and I pretty much had our mind made up that I would get my tubes tied.  So when there was a great possibility that I could have more kids, which we always wanted, I had to weigh the pros and cons to having more.  I guess my problem was just being told I couldn’t have more, I wanted that to be my decision, not one made for me. 

I believe the responsible thing is to not have more, to get my tubes tied.  I just really wanted to have 5 kids.  After talking it over with Tony we decided that even if we had more kids, we wanted to wait for about 5 yrs before having another one.  In 5 yrs when all my lil ones are old enough to go places, go to movie theaters and amusement parks, am I really going to want babies again. 

Today I felt I was put at ease with the whole situation.  I believe I am going to get my tubes tied.  I have the medical coverage now to cover the procedure and the doctor said there was no additional recovery time if they do it with the c-section.  If Tony were to decide to have a vasectomy instead, he would have to get some sort of cheap insurance to cover it.  The insurance through his work is a little expensive.  I don’t want to have to worry about any out of pocket expenses. 

I just think that if I get it done then we don’t have to worry about having any accidents and the decision will ultimately still have been mine. 

I really do think that is the best decision for us.
