[quote=Anonymous]Keep in mind you are in peak baby fever time.

I’m an Only and my entire life wanted only 1 kid. Then we had infertility for 5 years. Finally had my one baby. And DH and I knew that our age, emotional bandwidth, and finances could only support 1 kid.

From about 1-2.5, I had the worst baby fever. Like every cell in my body was telling me “I NEED ANOTHER BABY!!” And we had 1 more embryo. The only thing keeping me from having another was that I knew 100% that one was perfect for us. 
But if you are on the fence, and not sure, then the baby fever hormones will push you towards another child.

Yes, you might regret not having another. But I think that is preferable to having another and regretting it. Every path we take, means there are other paths we didn’t. And it’s really easy to fantasize about paths not taken.

If you are at your limit now, with a nanny, what happens if you have a 3rd with special needs? Or financial you can no longer afford a nanny? Or heaven forbid, something happens to DH and you have to raise them alone? [/quote]
