I am! Even if we changed our minds (which I really don't see happening), we wouldn't risk it for medical reasons. But we're very happy with just one!

Me.

Yeah, sorry about that. I really thought I was!

Here! I always leave the possibility open but I really can't picture it happening.

I'm 99% sure we're one and done. I have a few reasons for it...money, space, etc. I was on the fence before and I never say never but after going through a hell of a newborn stage with my 3 month old, I really have zero interest in doing it again.

99% yes. Only leaving that 1% because we haven't had DH snipped yet. But we are both fully agreed on keeping our family of 3.

99% sure still, but still uncomfortable committing fully to that last 1% of doubt. I think/fear that my husband might be getting the baby fever. He’s the one who had it last time (had it bad) – I’ve never had baby fever at all, and I don’t want another. I just love our life and our family so much. Honestly, I know it’s totally irrational, but I get so jealous of LO when I think about having another baby. I want LO all to myself and I get to spend so little time with her as it is, sigh.

We are going to snuggle up on an infant this weekend, which I think will be my husband’s baby-rabies test. Maybe it will be mine too, who knows!!

@mediagirl: Oh no! We are *really* one and done. And the beauty of being married to a woman is .... no accidents! LOL. Our DS will be here in a month and we intend to lavish him with everything we couldn't give two or more children. How old is your LO? Do people give you trouble for being one and done? I already am getting asked about siblings and our son isn't even here yet!!!!

@mediagirl: We anticipate being extremely happy with our family of 3 as well! 7 if you count the dogs.

Yes, so happy to be where we are right now. Actually would love my daughter as a 2 or 3 year old running around but it is a great place to be for me.

Me!
We have a newly turned 4 year old and tried for another for awhile but alas, I'm 41 (eek!) and we are very happy with our family of 3 plus a doggie who my son calls his brother. At peace with one LO and happy.
We have gotten a lot of flack and I feel like we have to defend our decision a lot. I hate that.

Nope. There was a period of time (relatively short honestly) when I was starting to feel really one and done. DH felt the same way - at one point he was very sure! I didn't think about more kids for like the first 9 months of LO's life. Then everyone started getting pregnant again and I was like, "What?! That's nuts!" (Happy for them but it sounded nuts to me.) I was still reeling from the newborn/infant days. Things got so good around 12 months and better and better every day after that - I just really felt like, our life is great, why complicate it with one of those awful babies?

But, I guess biology is strong... because the fever is back. Enough time has passed that I think I am crazy enough to have another one. Hopefully what you hear is true, and if you have a hard first baby, the second is easy! But either way I know how much better it gets.
