[quote=Anonymous]DH and I are feeling pretty torn as to have a third child. Our oldest will be eight and our second will be five when the third is born. I will be 39! I really want to have one more and my heart feels pretty heartbroken when I think of not having number three. However, we have a really nice life right now and I want someone to give me some realistic expectations and advice.

We have a small three bedroom row house in DC that we love. How long can we fit in a tiny space before having to move to something larger? DH stayed at home for a few years when the first two were young but he now has a great job that he wouldn't be able to take more than a couple weeks. I work four days a week and will get maternity leave. We have never left a baby so young with a nanny or daycare. How hard will it be? We like to travel a lot and my first two are amazing travelers. I am hoping that since my older two will be so much older it won't be too hard.? Financially, has it been a huge shift from two to three? We have a decent household income, definitely not as high as a lot of our neighbors but we are able to save a wee bit for the kids and things we enjoy like travel.

Lastly, whenever I mention the idea of a third to family and friends they disapprove of the idea. I know this isn't something that should factor into our decision but it makes me a little uncomfortable. Thanks for any advice! [/quote]
