[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is PP above who is struggling with this decision now - 
For those of you who reached your decision to just have one with such confidence, how did you go about getting to that point?[/quote]

It was and is a long process.  We had a difficult baby and I had PPD so another baby close to our first was very much off the table.  When she was around 3 and the idea of another wasn't the worst thing I could ever imagine we checked in with each other neither of us really wanted a second at that point.  We continued to check in over the next couple years.  We got to the point where I was a no but if it was really important to my DH I could have considered it - my DH ended up in the I don't really feel strongly either way.  It didn't seem like we should have another baby when neither of us really wanted it.  I have an IUD and am not pushing DH to get a vasectomy so its not like there was ever a firm deadline we had to decide by.  Honestly it still comes up occasionally (normally when we're drunk) and DD is 8.  I'm in my late 30s so its not outside the realm of possibilities that we could still have another but if anyone asks I tell them the same thing I tell DD when she asks for a baby sister "we're happy with the family we have"[/quote]
