oh, i have 4 and i love it. we don’t have a clean house, there’s always stuff to do, but we love each other. i love the bigger fam. it’s hard at times, but so is life. that’s my take.

Whoosh! I am not one to talk into or out of when it comes to the number of kids!
I was fully convinced that Andrew was going to be an only (thanks to years of infertility) but God had a different plan. Neither of us now even contemplate another because we firmly believe that God only gave me two eggs and I have now used both of them. And it only took me 7 years and 4 months, start to finish…(at least the birthing part, lol).
It’s such an individual (couple) decision…
(I will say that I love that we are not outnumbered by kids!)
.-= Janna´s last blog ..Disney Moms News =-.
Do YOU want to have 3 kids? Is it going to be an area of hostility between you if you get pregnant again?
My DH and I want 4, but we only have 1 right now, so who knows. I am informed you come to a point where you just feel finished. I am a little afraid I will want 10 because I love the little baby stage so much. I think I should have been an OB or midwife so I could get my baby fixes!
.-= Vanderbilt Wife´s last blog ..Chock Full of Healthy Muffins =-.
Children are such a blessing! If you can handle the ones you have pretty well, and can financially take care of another baby, then why not? We have two right now, and we’d like to have 4 eventually.
.-= Jeni´s last blog ..Best Pancakes Ever =-.
I am certainly no expert in this, and for the record, we have one child and only want two total. (Or, on a reallll bad day, one total. 🙂 ) However. Our pastor did just preach all over himself yesterday about how God has commanded us to multiply. And have full quivers. Or something. So, I suppose it just depends on who you ask?
I think Jessie asked the right question – Do YOU want three kids??

LOVE IT! Have a few more – your kids are so beautiful and we need more godly kids in the world to make a difference later! Plus I love prego women, there’s just something so beautiful and magical about them. And I’d love to see you that way…you’re so tiny I bet that belly is all out front.
Anyway, I say all for it! But what if you end up with twins or trips? LOL now THAT would be really fun!
Of course my REAL answer is to say pray about it and only do it if you both feel peace about it.
BUT here’s my thoughts on our situation with 2 right now…I have two girls now and if I didn’t have to work outside the home (technically I work AT home, but anyway) I’d have another. However, my husband is dead set against it, so no way do I want to have a baby in that environment. So while I’d probably be into a third if both of those things changed, they haven’t yet, so we’re enjoying our two darling little girls!
.-= Amy Bennett´s last blog ..Cowboy Boots: The Trend =-.
I really thought I wanted four. Then I had our third and it felt like we were finished. People kept telling me (while I was preg w/#3) how much harder three is than two. And it was. FOR US. #3 came shortly after #2, so that had a big impact on how we viewed the situation. We both felt overwhelmed for quite sometime, but it gets better and I certainly am glad we have three.
Pray about it until you have a peace about it either way. How can anyone argue with the comment, “I’m still praying about it.” Right?
I still get the longing for babies in footie pajamas and with pureed peas on their faces, but it never lasts long! 🙂
.-= jubilee´s last blog .. =-.
I thought that going from 1 to 2 was MUCH harder than going from 2 to 3. It has been nothing but a joy so far. Except for the sleep thing. That being said I seem to breed really easy going babies. But I can’t imagine our family any other way.
Wendysays
This plan would work out well for me. I’m ready to have another baby to hold on our playdates. 😉
Even though I’m pretty darn sure we’re done, and dh is even more sure we’re done, it’s always, ALWAYS, in the back of my mind. I think it’s just part of being a Mommy.
GL with your decision! There is certainly not a right or wrong answer to this one.
Here’s my two cents…..I have three, and as I love them, if I could have known what I know now I would have spaced them further apart. The first two are 19 months apart and the space between 2 and 3 is 2 1/2 years. I wish that I could have enjoyed my oldest a bit longer before my son was born, and it would have been nice to enjoy the older two a bit more as well before the youngest came. But, the Lord knows what He’s doing and I have to remind myself that it’s not about me anyway. (right??) 🙂
My advice, if you and your husband both decide to go for #3 then I would say to enjoy Lydia and Asa now and maybe try for that #3 when Asa is about 4. That way when #3 is born then you’ll have more time to give to the baby as the older two are in school (unless you plan to homeschool, then this smart little plan won’t matter!) 🙂 Oh! and for me, going from 2 to 3 was easier than 1 to 2. It helped that #3 came home sleeping through the night!, but my oldest also didn’t require as much from me as she did when she was 2 and 3 years old (can you “I love potty trained children?”) 🙂
and let’s not forget what the Lord has planned for you and your family. so pray about it. It goes without saying, but I had to throw it in there anyway! 🙂
I can’t offer advice either way. Do what you feel is right for YOUR family. We are done having our own. I can’t go through another pregnancy. but if God leads us to adopt later on, then we’re open to that. but right now, I have very, very happy with our little family.
.-= Heather @ Not a DIY Life´s last blog ..Football and Church =-.
OK, here were our reasons for stopping at 2… square kitchen table = where would #5 sit? I drive an SUV, would certainly need a mini-van or bigger SUV at least, and when one child gets sick the other one gets sick inevitably – and I barely survive going through an illness twice, I don’t think I could handle doing it a third time. Then there’s the screaming (could be colicy) up every 2 hours, what-if-I-have-another-boy, is it eating enough, did this poop look funny, grab a rag – he just spit up… again that I just don’t think I can deal with again.
Aside from all that, I’d LOVE to have another one, and we’ve discussed it – knowing that it’s physically NOT an option for us.
Not trying to talk you out of anything by any means, that’s just our reasons for it. (the kitchen table is my reason, not my husband’s) Good Luck!
My mom taught me to never let the parents be outnumbered by their kids– I’m glad I listened!

A nice elderly man walked up to my friend and her two little girls. “Honey, (he didn’t know her at all) I know you’re busy now, but your dinner table will be awfully lonely in 18 years.” I say fill up that table! (And pray that we can, too.) 🙂
.-= Amy @ Finer Things´s last blog ..Giving Opportunities =-.
I think I would have 4 if I had my druthers. But hubs and I are in constant conversation about such drutherings.
I did read an article the other day linked from Nester that was wonderful. It was written by a very wise older woman who was talking about 5 things that are worse than debt (or 5 reasons she would say it would be okay to be in debt). One of them was kids. Not that I’m a debt proponant (at all), but she had a very good point about not letting money stop you from having more kids. She said there is only a small time in your life when you CAN reproduce and have children- and to do THAT in that time. You can pay the bills when you are 60. I know Dave Ramsey (AKA my hubs) would have a fit over that sentence, but the point that stuck with me is that there are really about 10 child bearing years and we shouldn’t blow our 30s waiting on the perfect time (for other children/ money, etc), because it’s not ever going to be perfect. 🙂
I should have started off this comment with, “To completely NOT answer your question…”
Has as many as you want to! I don’t think you’ll ever regret HAVING children as you might NOT HAVING them. That’s my own personal take, though and I am so thankful to live in a society/ country where we get to have a “take”, aren’t you? Isn’t that amazing!
I’ll be humming Lee Greenwood the rest of the afternoon if you need me.
.-= Hillary @ The Other Mama´s last blog ..Links You’ll Love =-.

We have 4 boys, I loved having 3. Four has been a huge stretch for me. It helped that my oldest was in preschool in the mornings, so I just had the 2 year old and baby at home. We wanted 4, but now I’m wishing we could have more (too many c-sections complicate things).
It’s a personal thing, yes- I’m waiting to see what that “completeness” feeling is like that I’ve heard so many women have had after their last child.
Three is a great number. I thought going from two to three was harder than one to two. Now we’re outnumbered! With three there is also the chance that someone will be “left out” a lot…most likely the baby since he can’t play with the big kid toys… But it’s a blessing raising these three little boys!
.-= Beth@Not a Bow in Sight´s last blog ..Excitement is in the Air! =-.
I think you can probably guess where I’m going to land on this one 😉
Seriously, I’m quite the baby pusher. It’s not good. But since you asked, my two cents is: *absolutely* you should have a third (and maybe a couple more after that?!) I completely agree with the pp who said you will never regret having a third (well, at least not after they get through the toddler years!) but you may well regret *not* having one.
There is a woman at our church who has two kids about two years apart, boy and a girl, perfect family. Except they are 19 and 17 now, and she’s looking at that almost empty table now that someone else mentioned. She told me once when I was pregnant with #3 (? #4? not sure) that she wishes she had had five! Of course they will always all leave the nest eventually, but you wouldn’t have any regrets when they do about not making the most of the gift you have *right now* of being able to help God make new people!
Okay, I didn’t mean to get going here 🙂 If you want to know more about where we are on this, I’d love to e-mail you about it. It’s an issue that’s become very close to my heart over the last few years. You know, if you want to open a seriously big can of worms 🙂

I’m a single mom to 6 and I would trade any of them for the world. 🙂
I come from a family of 5 kids and I loved it and still love it. However, hubby and I never wanted to be outnumbered, so we have 2. lol Loved the big family and love our smaller family. They both are very good. Besides, in the end it’s all up to God, isn’t it?
.-= Cathy´s last blog ..Everything! =-.
I think you are asking the wrong people. Ask God what he wants you to do. If you really give it to God, you will be at peace with 2 or 20, and love where you are.
However, since ya asked………….
When you are old and thinking back on your life, do you think you would regret not having more kids, or regret having a third? You will never regret having a third.
If your husband wants another one, it isn’t life threatening to you to have children, and you could manage it, why not? You will love your child as much as the first two immediately. It is not something that you can regret. I promise, I have 7, and 4 out of the first 5 were “oops”es.
.-= Qtpies7´s last blog ..Annoying or funny? =-.

We have three wonderful kiddos! Our first was a daughter (11 now), then our son (now 9) and our “baby” who is 3. We were on the fence for the loooongest time but we knew deep in our hearts we wanted three and felt that if it was what the Lord wanted too it would happen. We were so comfortable with the 4 of us, a girl and a boy and life was getting “easier” since the kids were beyond the toddler stage. We took the plunge and got pregnant right away with our third and I have NEVER regretted it. Yes, it is hectic but it is the best. Pray over your decision. Good luck!
Well…
There is the issue of space… and money… and sending 3 to college…and how do you fly by yourself with 3 kids to Florida… and what if 1 has ballet and 1 has soccer and the 3rd has a birthday party. Who takes the 3rd kid? 2 of you… 3 of them. Never good to be outnumbered.
But…
Do you want 3? Because if you WANT 3… none of the reasons matter. You just want it and figure it out. You would worry about the choice now… but once that 3rd little sweetheart is here… you’d have trouble wondering why you ever doubted having 3.
But… we’re only having 2. We’re sure. I think.
