Hi.
This is an interesting thread. I don't really belong here though as I have only one at this time. We definitely will be having a second (ttc next march I think).
But. Two children just seems...i don't know... Empty to me for some reason. I was an only child (and hubby was too for 16 years anyway) and definitely won't be raising an only.
In my mind I've idealized the number 3 or better yet 4. Am I silly?
Hubby says well see. Two is enough. Especially if we have a girl next time. But I always tell him that it doesn't seem complete to me.
You ladies have more experience and have the "right" I guess to truly decide if two is not enough. I don't think I do right now.
Have you ladies always felt this way? Even before your second came along?
Thanks for any help or advice. And sorry if I'm butting in.
I've always thought that I wanted 3. After my first, I knew I wanted two more...but now that I have two....it is getting harder to convince myself to get pregnant again!! I am 30 (feel like I am getting old!!)....I always get sick (puking up to 20 weeks with both), and pregnancy and childbirth are not that fun for me!! Haha! I know I want another one, but I know this will be the last!
At the same time, I am really looking forward to feeling the baby kick again (the best part about pregnancy!!) and meeting this new little person. I love my girls and love their personalities....can't wait to see what our third and final baby will be!
