[quote=Anonymous]We have an 18 month old DD and initially hoped to have 2 or 3 kids.  DD took a while, with miscarriages etc before she was born and she's a total delight.  We are so, so happy and feel incredibly lucky we even got her.  While we'd both still like to have another, we have minimal hope that it will happen naturally, and we certainly don't feel like our family is incomplete.  We're happy with our lifestyle, our finances, our real estate options (we're in NYC and actually feel like we can stay with an only child).  I know part of me will always be a bit sad that we couldn't have more kids, but, as a PP noted, we're happy with the life we have and actively choose to focus on the positives.  I'd frankly have mixed emotions at this point if I found out I was pregnant.  Thrilled, but terrified, given how comfortable I've gotten with the idea of one.

There seem to be more only children in the city, too, which helps.  None of the isolation I sense from some single-child families I see on DCUM living in the suburbs surrounded by big families.[/quote]
