When You Know It's Your Last

Raquel Kelly wasn’t totally sure about having a third kid, but she just knew she wasn’t done. She writes: “In the end, we went for it, and I was so glad. After suffering postpartum depression after my second, I was glad to feel better and to experience the pure, genuine joy with the last.

She’d like to pass out favors and get a new dress — also reasonable. But she’s also been bombarding me with texts and Pinterest pictures hinting at other ideas: a photo booth complete with props, a sushi boat, a large heart shaped cake, and an arbor made of roses and balloons. On the one hand, I want to shower her with all those things; on the other: NOPE.” She makes her case at the link, and it’s very persuasive. (Not that it was hard to convince me.)
