Think two is it but not sure

[vanillabean]

I have two beautiful children. A boy and a girl. I am pretty sure this is it, however, sometimes when I hear someone is pregnant with a third, I get a little unsure about my decision. With two I feel very balanced in my family (if that is the way to put it). I just don't want to one day regret m decision. I guess it is up to my husband too! He says no more.

I think the same things sometimes..well, alot actually...DH has said 2 is definatly enough, and he is happy we got one of each, our DD is the first granddaughter for his family, and first girl in 50yrs. I think I would possibly like to have one more, tho I doubt we would even start trying til DD is at least 3yrs old.
I think, if we are ment to have 3..or more...kids then it will happen regardless of what we think/say now. I come from a family of 5 kids, my parents originally wanted 2, 3 at the most, so the youngest 2 were definatly not planned.
Sorry...I'm not much help am I? :o

I guess my thing would be that if your questioning it then maybe you havent made a final decision on it yet.
Who knows what the future will bring !

The way that I see it is that you're quite young yet - from the info at the bottom of your post - you've got some time to decide. Why don't you take your time, not rush into any decisions, and see how you feel in a while? I know I still get a burst of mummy-lust when I see or hear about a pregnant woman or new baby - and DD is only 9 months old! No more for me yet, not for a couple of years anyway!!

I think its just human nature to want to procreate, and a baby is such a beautiful thing that you just want more! But I guess you've got to weight up how that would fit into your current circumstances

Good luck with your decision!

I had a boy and girl before I unexpectedly got pregnant with number 3. At the time I had not planned to have a third child.

I am glad I did.

I find it really bizarre that people keep telling me I can stop having babies now that I've got one of each. I have 3 sisters and I feel a bit weird that my daughter doesn't have sisters, but my husband has 2 brothers and thinks it's great that our son has a sister.

Does anyone have any advice re mixture of girls and boys??

cheers,
Amy

I used to have people tell me I can 'stop now' I had one of each... now we're going to have two of each though.. I never had intention of listening to them, I knew when DD was born that I definitely wanted one more, we just definitely had no intention of having that 'one' so quickly lol

I think just give it a couple of years and think about it then. Theres no need to make a decision now, just see how you go :D In 2-3 years you might desperately want one, not just when your friends are haivng another one but all of the time.. or you could be happy that your daughter is getting older and not want to go back to that baby stage again.

best of luck :)

I am in a similar situation at the moment, I originally only planned on having two but having had two boys there is something in me crying out to at least try for a little girl - I know it's wrong to have a baby in the hope of getting one of a particular sex because if it's not a girl I will be dissapointed - I guess if there was a guarentee that I would have a girl I would have another baby.

I'm 29 now and hate reading about the risks to baby etc as the "biological" clock ticks on - it puts a pressure on woman.

I was in the same position, we had a boy and girl, we had decided 2 was enough and my DF said no more. Then I decided I wanted one more. It took me a year to convince my DF!
And honestly, having a third is the best thing I've ever done. He's only 2 weeks old but I finally feel complete :D
It's such a personal decision, good luck!

Thanks for the advice. Lots to think about, dd is only 14 months old, so we'll see.
