[quote=Anonymous]3 was the straw that broke my back, maybe my marriage.  The youngest is 4 and I'm maybe crawling out of the hole (knock on wood).  One issue is that, with your older kids being so young, you don't really yet know how "challenging" they will be.  A lot of special needs don't show up until ages 4 through 8--to deal with that in addition to a baby is really hard.
Second, logistically 3 kids is difficult.  You'll need a minivan.  It's often hard to find a house that comfortably fits 3 kids.  Travelling is a huge pain and the third kid basically do Ike's your expenses (you need to rent a minivan instead of a sedan; need to get a second hotel room because most rooms won't accommodate 5 within the fire code restrictions; the per person vacations are also priced out for families of 4 or smaller so when you go to 5, you need to get a second package but then you're paying for two solo adult passengers, plus most of the web search features are worthless when searching for accommodations for five).  Also scheduling weekends can be a bear, as there's a chance they will all end up with parties/games/naps at the same time and you need to figure out how 2 of you are going to cover 3 things.  
So, not to be a downer, but those are all things to think about if you are on the fence.[/quote]
