[quote=Anonymous]I haven’t figured out yet how to get over it. It’s been years since we started discussing a third. I really, really want one. Spouse leans no but still says he’s not sure. I am one of four, so maybe that’s why I want more? I have always wanted at least 3, preferably 4-5 (definitely not happening now). Like you, OP, I think about it every single day, though the intensity ebbs and flows. I didn’t just suddenly decide I want another because the first two are getting older. And I’m not just interested in the baby/toddler phase. I feel like I will always regret not having another, but my strategies for moving on are like others have said— focus on gratitude, the kids you have, the here and now. I imagine that over time, you will eventually feel better. Best of luck. [/quote]
