We ummed and ahhed about 3 or not for a while and now that No. 3 is here I know we made the right decision. There was obviously nothing wrong with our family pre Miss A, but now I definitely think we're complete. I just have a different level of contentment. We also had the view that while we could spend the rest of our lives wondering 'what if' had we not had a third, there is no way we would ever regret a child that was here.

FWIW, I also found the transition from 1 to 2 a kazillion times harder than the transition from 2 to 3 has been. My No. 3 girl is a very content baby, but she's still got me up ALL night, and even so it is still surprisingly easy looking after her and two very active small girls.
