As much as I would love another baby, I think two will be the limit for us.
I couldn't manage a third child until Toby is at least 3 or 4. This will put me in my very late 30's for another pregnancy. I've had a couple of health issues in the pregnancies I've had that will only be exacerbated by being older so it will make things a bit harder.
Financially three would be a stretch - bigger car, bigger house, all that jazz. But I don't generally let finances rule my decision making when it comes to matters of the heart and soul like this
I'm probably more influenced by the fact that my family unit was the same as what my kids have - there was me and my brother - and we are extremely close. I hope for same for my kids, but the way they fight already is a bit of a worry!
Ultimately I think two is enough for us at the moment and by the time they're old enough that I would consider going again, I doubt I'll want to go back to all the newborn sleepless nights etc. Perhaps if we'd started a bit earlier it might be different, I don't know.
