[quote=Anonymous]We have an only and a very happy family.  We had a hard first year dealing with PPD/PPA and a baby with reflux and sleep issues.  The idea of another at that point made me physically sick to my stomach.  I was barley keeping it together.  We left the question open.  By the time my baby was 3/4 we felt like we could handle another but to be honest we decided we were happy with our family.  It was a long discussion over the course of a year or so between DH and I.  We got to the point where we both were willing to have another but neither of us strongly wanted another.  We decided if neither of us felt that strongly, that we would just embrace our small family.  Now our only is in middle school.  We have time, flexibility and money for travel, private school, travel sports etc.  We also have a calm life (compared to family friends with more kids) which suits our personalities well.  Small families have advantages and disadvantages just like large families.  Its okay to not want another one now, and its okay to revisit that question over the next couple years and see how you and your partner are feeling.  [/quote]
