[quote=Anonymous]I have a large family (6 kids). I’ve had that longing for another baby with every child, including the last. So - there will always be that longing to have another even if you have a bunch. I am currently only over my longing because of my three oldest teenagers and just being emotionally drained (and they are really good kids!). Just to point out you may have a third and still not feel settled.  
It sounds like you’ve thought it through and have the capacity. It also sounds like you would be about the age I was when I had my last. I don’t think I fully comprehended I would be almost 60 when my last went to college. Somewhere around mid 40s I started to feel old and that hit me.  
It sounds like you are not stressed with enjoying the two you have so a third would probably fit in rather easily. I don’t think anyone I know regrets having another child. Most previous posters seem to be two and done and not struggle with it. We struggled with the decision nearly every time and obviously decided in favor of it. No regrets. [/quote]
