How many kids do you want

I'm having a really hard time with this. I really thought that I only wanted 3. But that baby itch is back and has been. I dont know if it the chance to have a girl...I'm just worried that I will always want another one. I love being pregnant and the hold L&D too, I JUST LOVE IT ALL. Crazy Yes, Crazy to have 4 kids, Yes. I am one of four myself and I remember telling my mom that she was Carzy for having 4 kids! Why in the worked, would anyone want to have 4 kids?

I do love having all my sister's, being able to share everything. My parents give us what they could, but also made us work for the things we wanted, maybe in some way making us a better person...? I want to be able to give my kids everything but I also want them to work for it. I dont want things just handed to them.....Ahhh.

I'm having another one ;)

At first one, then we wanted two which was a recent desire and lo and behold, I am pregnant again, but unplanned!! We wanted to wait another 1.5-2 years to try again but there were other plans in store for us. It is great as our daughter just turned two and would be thrilled with a little brother/sister. But that's it, no more.

LOL, I love your comment about a regular relationship with sleep. My cousin said the same thing the other day now that her youngest (has 2 kids) is totally sleeping through the night. She's soo happy now that she can sleep well again. I also only want 2 children and that is enough for me. I come from a large family, but have no desire to have a large family myself. I would rather each child get more person time with the parents, then having to spread myself thin to multiple children and of course would like to sleep well not so long after having children. :)

I have one child and that is enough for me. I have NEVER had a desire to have a huge family, and honestly one is expensive enough. I just got back into a regular relationship with sleep and I don't want to ever break up with sleep again. ;)
