    And *just* had LO#2 4 months ago.

    Not sure we want another and, if we decide we do, it won't be for a couple more years.

    I went for "my LO doesn't STTN", although its not just that...... I's just such hard work generally! We want another and soon..... but.....

    Still can't decide if we want a third or not... Somedays we say yes, definitely, other days it's a hell no! Regardless of what we choose, it's not a decision we're going to make for at least another year - we want a bigger age gap than 19 months next time!

    It's mostly that my nerves can not handle a second child if it would be anything like my son. He's just so challenging on all levels, not one thing has been "easy."

    We keep setting dates and life gets in the way, so we are now waiting until early spring. It's just a timing game right now, and it sucks.

    Financial, and we're both on the fence about #2 (well I'm on the fence, D is perfectly happy with just one).

    Combination of not being ready yet, not being in the financial position to, and not being even 100% sure if we want another, though I think we eventually will.

    I voted other because I could pick many of those options!

    1. Financial/space Reasons
    2. I'm not ready.
    3. The thought of birth recovery again makes me break out into hives.

    I'd have to quit my job, 3 in daycare would be a doozy! Otherwise I'm sure I would have a few more kids!

    @lawbee11: I have a 2.5 year old and babysat a 3 week old last night. Can.Not.Imagine having another right now.

    Lots of reasons. I don't want to have another if I have to work, and we aren't quite in a place to do that, yet. Next year we are going to do some major financial renovations, so that we can make the final decision. But I also worry about the stress of having two and taking away the time from DS by adding another. I really really did not enjoy the newborn stage and am terrified to have to go through it again. I think my husband is close to ready, but I'm still not sold on having another at this point.

    Both of us aren't on the same page. I want to start TTC in April, he's not sure, so for now, we're on the fence.

    We're waiting for LO1 to be a little older. Plus I updated my short term disability policy and if I get pregnant before February, it won't cover me.
