How did you come to terms with it? I wood love more kids, but realistically even in 3-4 years, it'd be difficult. We're pretty much done with our two but I'm having a hard time coming to terms with our two being it!

I'm totally with you. I have 2 DDs, but I always pictured myself having a boy (bad relationship w/my mom, was afraid of having daughters). It's hard to let go of this child that I've been fantasizing about for years.
At the same time, DH doesn't want another one, and even though I want to SAH while DDs are little, I'm feeling the itch to do something outside the home. A lot of being a mom is plain old drudgery!
Once you figure out how to make peace with your 2 LOs, let me know so I can do the same
ETA: I always wanted 3 kids, too, so if I was done I'd feel like I should have enjoyed my last pregnancy more.

As my youngest is getting older and older, I am struggling with this a bit. I think I am the type of person who could just take care of tons of kids. My husband on the other hand absolutely does not want any more kids. I would love to adopt but I am pretty sure he is a giant no.
The things I do to keep my baby fever under control is to look at the positives of our family and their ages. Just this weekend we went kite flying at a park and the kids were able to get their kites up and keep them in the air. I try to look at these simple things and enjoy where we are in our lives, but then I see a new born and my heart just melts and I have to start all over again with the positive thoughts.

I would love to have another for very selfish reasons...I feel like I missed out on a lot of the "fun" of pregnancy and the newborn phase because I was SOOOO sick and SOOOOO exhausted. I can't remember so much of their early months and I would love to do it again. I'd love to breastfeed and truly enjoy every minute in a way that I couldn't with twins.
That said, DH is a gigantic NO on the subject, and in my heart, I know that two is the right number for us. Instead, I focus on all the exciting things that are coming for our kids, and I'm putting my energy into enjoying every minute! -
I too am having a hard time wrapping my head around being done. I even will say things like 'if we change our minds' 'maybe we'll reassess in a few years'. But I know deep down we are done. I always pictured myself with 3 kids....
