So Terry and I have had the "are we done" conversation, actually a couple times :) It is a question I would very much like to know the answer to but in all honesty, I really don't know yet.
My first feeling is yes we are definitely done but at the same time it seems so sad to realize this is my last baby. I have never been a fan of the newborn, but I am eating this one up! Maybe because I know it is my last I am trying to relish every moment with her and enjoy every second she is so tiny. 
I find myself not reacting to her cries right away, just so I can hold her and listen to that newborn cry that they lose so quickly. At night when she wakes up, I hold for sometimes hours after she is finished eating just to hold her and feel her soft head on my cheek or chest. I can't get over how tiny she is every time I pick her up or change a diaper. I get her up from bed while she is napping just so I can hold her while she sleeps and smell her, newborns smell so good! My house is only getting cleaned half as much as it used to becasue I simply must hold my baby girl and do nothing else, just hold her and stare and smell, and feel her soft skin. She is the perfect baby.
Her umbilical cord fell off at six days, she out grew newborn diapers around 12 days and now at three weeks she is starting to not squish up her tiny bum and legs when we pick her up, this is all sad to me but I am so aware of every milestone and for that I am thankful.
So how do you know you are done? Am I done just cuz I want to be? Are we done cuz five is a lot of kids I don't care who you are? Is there someone else supposed to be in our family? I don't know the answers to any of these questions. I love being a mom, it is my dream job. I guess I would love to have more babies to love, I would also love to be done having babies, and focus on enjoying my big kids. Right now I am moving forward like Jillian is my forever baby, and what a perfect way to wrap up the beautiful Davis Baby Package. She is the cherry on top!

It is so hard watching them get big so fast!!
I don't know how you're supposed to know either. All I know is that right after every single one of mine, I was "DONE". I never thought I'd have more than two. Then one day like a wave from an ocean, I knew it was time to have a third. She is now 2 1/2. And she was my last. Until just recently, and I've suddenly been thinking, well, I don't know, maybe there are more? I think when you know, you'll know. Until then, I'm assuming there are more.
Absolutely Adorable. Congratulations! I like things in even numbers....so maybe one more:)
