    I am the same, wanting three. But I only decided that after having DD, since I enjoyed having her so much. DP has always wanted two, but is taking some convincing on even that, at the moment. So I think we'll see how we go after we get to number two and at the moment I've agreed to compromise at that. He's thinking of the practicalities around $$, me not working for a while, plus the extra stress that comes along with every new family member, etc. I don't think it would be fair for me to 'make' him have another child for no reason other than that my instincts are still ticking. He has agreed if we ever win lotto I can have as many as I want!

    i want 3, DF is still undecided if he wants more, but i always get what i want
    his issue is the financial side of things too, but like i keep telling him, we're only going to have a money issue if number 3 is a boy as we have no boy clothes to put him in, other than that we have everything already.
    Yes i know its not just the initial set up the costs money, u have kinder and school ect, but by the time number 3 would be going to school, i'd be back at work so it wouldnt be that bad.
    i wonder how i'll cope with 3 but i think i'll b right, it would be the same as having one, u have good days and bad days, just gotta spread the love around more!
