[quote=Anonymous]My DH and I very much wanted 3 but I was afraid of the financial stress it would put on our lives (mostly, saving for three colleges, but also, day care and after school care or one of us (me) stepping back from work to provide the care). At the time, our kids were 4 and 1, now they are 10 and 6. My DH still would have gone for it, but I said no and am so glad I did because a few years later he got laid off which we were fortunately able to deal with but was extremely stressful and would have been worse for an infant and although our 2nd seemed like a typical baby at the time, it later became apparent she has some significant special needs including "high functioning" autism (in quotes because it is still so, so hard for all of us). So, if you want three and feel you and DH can handle it, financially and emotionally, no matter what, go for it. But if you have any doubts, make the most of the life you have.[/quote]
