For us, that idea of looking around and do you feel like someone is missing, was so hard. We are so happy with our life as a family of four. But when we look down the road to our daughters wedding, there are more than just the four of us.

We won't be trying for #3 for probably 4.5? 5? years? But I wish I could try in about a year.

I thought I would only want two, but I keep thinking about having a third now that my second is about 5 months old. He's such an easy baby compared to his older brother. He sleeps through the night, rarely cries, smiles all the time, etc. I think if my third were like him, I could handle three kids no problem. But my first was a high needs baby who was always fussy and didn't sleep through the night until he was 18 months old! I don't know if I could handle another baby like that while taking care of two other kids as well. Plus, I feel like some things are easier with two kids, like traveling (you can all fit in a standard car, can all sleep in one hotel room). Having three kids is such a foreign idea to me, since most people I know opted for smaller families.

@knittylady: I'm enjoying lo2 (3 months) so much I could totally see us trying for a 3rd of things were right. But real life is not gonna let that happen. Funny thing is I didn't have baby fever for my second, would have loved to skip the infant stage. I'm afraid if we tried for a third we'd get a second fussy one though!
