I finally came to a conclusion
Last night I finally decided on the main reason why I don't want anymore children. It's not the fact that my children drive me nuts....lol It's not because I have a boy and a girl, which is perfect already. It's not because I'll be 30 years old this year or anything like that. It's something that just makes me want to cry and breaks my heart. It's because my grandparents are no longer here in person anymore. Both of my grandparents were here when I had Ryan. But my grandma passed away when Ryan was 13 1/2 months old. He decided to walk at the wake of her funeral. It was really special. But she helped my grandpa make LOTS of quilts for Ryan. Yes, my grandpa made quilts. My grandma taught him. And he so loved doing it. Well... (this is where I want to cry)! He was only able to make Saira one quilt, before he passed away. And it's the most special item in my house, for sure. He passed away a month after she was born. And ..........(omg, I just realized as I was typing, that he will have been gone 3 years at the end of Feb.) But anyways, I couldn't possibly have another baby, he/she wouldn't have a quilt that was made from my grandpa.
This is the quilt he made her.

Awww :(
You had very special grandparents! The kids (as well as you) will treasure those quilts forever! I can remember when your Grandpa passed, it was so hard on you. When we met, it hadn't been too long after your Grandma had passed.
HUGS!! Your decision is yours and yours only to make! Being that you have one of each does make it easier!
Awww I agree with Java , and that quilt is just precious. My grandparents on both sides never got to met Little Guy =( My dads mom passed away before I was even born and my moms mom passed away when I was 13 so I had just my pop pop's until a few years ago when they passed away 3 months to the day of each other. Like Java said it is your decision to make.
I agree as well that is a beautiful quilt! I understand what you are saying, my grandmother passed a few months before bowlergirl was born. I so wish she was around to see here, because I know Bowlergirl would enjoy doing things with her. The same things I used to do with her while she was still here.
Oh and as java said it is your decision and having one of each is perfect.
VERY pretty!!
What special treasures you will all have.. My sister and I had blankets our great grandma made but have since misplaced them =( but my mom has a few still!
What a beautiful quilt, such a great way to remember your grandpa.
i don't know that i could put into words how sad i am that i never got to meet your grandpa. the quilt JE brought up here with him is a treasure.
someday, i'd love to learn how to quilt.
