[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]and its making me feel odd that I only have two!! I have a 6 yr old and a 3 yr old. Both boys. Im 37 and my DH is 38. After my second ds was born, we had some marital issues related to moving for his job and our focus was on surviving the issues for a while versus thinking about having another. My second ds didnt sleep thru night for a long time and during that time, I was also dealing with speech evals and such for my first ds. Its been a hectic few yrs. However, now all the dust has settled and all is well.... and every one I know has 3 kids, literally everyone. I did not have trouble conceiving and I had healthy pregnancies so I almost feel like there is no reason in terms of fertility  for us to have not tried for a third. I did have two c sections (first baby was breach and second vbac didnt happen), so in terms of health, I do worry about a third c section and that Im 37. Kinda feel like I missed the boat when our personal/marital issues were going on, which makes me feel bad. I dont know... I love having a baby and committing to being done feels so weird-- like such a huge chapter in my life is closed. I feel like its too long gone to consider it though. Anyone have thoughts??[/quote]

I have 2 and there is no way in the world I would have another. I was 1 of 3 growing up and I loved it BUT I know 2 is enough for us. When I think back to having just 1, I think how freaking easy it would have been to just have 1. But I knew I had to have another one to give my first a sibling and playmate while growing up and have a somewhat bigger family. It has been great but no way after having 2 would I add another. I don't even have to see how these families operate, I know from my own expereince of juggling 2! [/quote]
