[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are big travelers a third child could be a deal breaker for so many logistical reasons.

Our two are old enought to travel without gear and we are still young enough to go with relatively young kids without being worn out.  We went on some of our first big vacations (cross country, out of country, etc.) this summer since firstborn was a baby.  Second child is 3.5, oldest is 6.

If we had a third there would be no more big vacations for pain in the a**/logisitcal reasons--baby gear, baby naptimes (killer for sightseeing, etc), baby exhaustion for many, many years.  Love being relatively footless and fancy-free and no desire to go back to babies.  This, of course, isn't the prime reason for not having a third...prime reason is DH and I both can only take a certain level of chaos and both require a certain degree of alone time.  This, coupled with the fact the two we have get along so great, is the reaon we are stopping while ahead.  We are bucking the recent trend of 3+ kids in our area.[/quote]

This is the exact reason we are stopping with two.  Half my family lives an 18hr flight away so there will be lots of international travel in our future.  I like the 1:1 ratio - one kid per adult to keep track of :)[/quote]
