Wow Marydean. I admit I have had the odd thought of having another (yes, you can slap me LOL) but I like the idea way more than the reality of it. It has been a real eye opener trying to find the happy medium so that everyone's needs are met (particularly between DH and I) and I just couldn't do it. Although the other night I said to DH that I just don't know how I would feel if we either got a *surprise* before his vasectomy or even years down the track if it somehow failed and I said I would even consider a termination, DH said that it wouldn't be so bad to have another, but I think that would only be if it was a surprise, he would never agree to another planned bub. So I am quite sure that I am done and I will just have to live vicariously through everyone else to deal with any clucks I might develop LOL.
ETA - I forgot to say, that when we were tossing up having #4, we wavered so many times between being happy with 3 and wanting 4. It was moreso for me, especially if Paige did something that made her more 'little girl' than 'baby girl' and I thought "this is great - no more bottles or prams or nappy bags" etc, but if I really thought about it, there was still a little piece of me that wasn't happy with only having 3 so I knew I had to have another and we haven't regretted it at all.
