[quote=Anonymous]We had a lot of trouble conceiving our first so when she was born I felt immensely grateful and more or less assumed we'd be one and done. It wasn't my initial vision but a conclusion I had really come around to being happy with, and I could really picture our lives as a family of 3. But DH and I never actively tried to prevent a 2nd pregnancy, and I did end up getting pregnant again and my kids are 2.5 years apart. We're incredibly happy as a family of 4 and I feel like things are actually easier for us with 2 kids over 1, since they play together now. Having 2 vs 1 doesn't seem much harder to navigate the world. But we chose not to have a 3rd because it felt like it would probably tip the balance for us from manageable and fun to more stressful (but probably still fun... just not what we wanted to take on).[/quote]
