[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did you know when you were done having children? We always wanted three, have three, and it's certainly busy enough that I'm not sure I'd have energy for a fourth and I'm probably too old. But I'm having a hard time giving away baby items... "just in case." And every time I look at our third, the baby, I feel this sense of mourning about it being the last time I have a baby this little. But I know that I'm getting older, and my husband and I need our energy for our three beautiful existing children... How did you *know*?[/quote]

I’m not sure I’ll ever really know. I am in the same boat: three great kids and feel maxed out with money/attention/our both being able to work.  But I still *long* for a little baby again.  I think what helps me think through it logically is that I really only want another BABY, not really the whole toddler/kid/future unknown state.  Some of us just love babies and will probably want to have another one until we physically can’t.  Something to think about. Hugs OP, I get it.[/quote]
