[quote=Anonymous]I felt an irrational urge to have a third child.  It was exactly as you say -- I felt heartbroken about the idea of not having a third child.

- Was it a slightly harder pregnancy because i was older? yes (had quite a few thoughts of -- gosh, i'm glad i'm not planning on doing it again!)
- Were the sleepless nights harder to take because i was older once the youngest was born? yes.
- Have the extra expenses on childcare, etc, been perceptible? yes. 
- Have i thought over the years in specific situations "gosh, if it was just the older two kids, we could do X, Y, and Z now"? yes -- though only in that "it would be logistically easier" way, NEVER as a regret

And, most importantly -- does my family now feel complete?

Yes! Yes! and Yes!

In my opinion, there is something really special about having 3 kids -- with 2 kids there is just the one relationship between the two.  With 3, there are 3 separate relationships, and the kids kind of balance each other's relationships out.[/quote]
