I remember those feelings were so strong after DD2 was born, mainly because she has been such an easy baby! And the feelings to have another one are still very strong so we aren't finished having babies either.
I hope that when we have had 3 or 4 babies, I do get that finished feeling people talk about. I can't imagine after having 4 babies if we do, that I will still feel a strong yearning for more, it just makes me sad to think that I will never have that 'finished' feeling! I want to be able to confidently one day say 'yes we are done' and feel good about it, kwim?
We have 2 girls and our family is complete, yet we will have more.
IMHO I think the whole 'pigeon pair' thing is silly. And it's insulting to those families with same gender children to assume that we want more kids just to have a different gender. It's just silly.
