[quote=Anonymous]We want 3-4 but only have one so far. We think we'll aim for 3-4 year spacing, but really are taking it one month at a time. We check in with each other on how we're both feeling about when to have the next one - it's a quick "still feel the same" most months, and a couple times a year it's a longer discussion. During the longer discussions, we do revisit our budget and financial goals, but we don't base our decision purely on financials - we know we could always move further out into the burbs, squeeze into a smaller home, and make other sacrifices to accommodate another child. We aren't using artificial BC either, but we have studied natural methods in depth and know what we're doing so it is a conscious decision of whether or not to conceive each month. This is the lifestyle we've chosen and we're happy. [/quote]
