Just had DS2, DH now talking about DC3!!!

[Pheebe]

Our DS2 is nearly 1 month old now and absolutely gorgeous. The thing is I'd resigned myself that he would be my last pregnancy as DH had to be cajoled a bit as he was happy with just me and DS1. We tried for DS2 after he admited that if DS1 had been a girl he'd have wanted to try for DC2 straight away. Anyway, all through this pregnancy he's been adamant that this would be last baby for practical reasons. However, today after talking about selling baby stuff as DS2 grows out of it he said maybe we could think about another one in a year or so.
Not sure how to handle this as I've just got myself to a place where I could accept just having 2 DCs and never trying again.
Anyone else been in a similar situation? Is this just because he's all loved up with DS2? Should I hold on to the hope of trying for DC3 or just take it with a pinch of salt??? Any thoughts gratefully received...

Dh did the same to me, but started saying how it would be sad to definitely rule out a third when I was pg with ds2. Ds2 is now 11 months, so I've had a little time to run the internal dialogue. Ultimately it is up to me if we do have a third after all since I'll do 99% of the childcare, suffer the pg etc. Obviously I've decided it might be pretty ace to have another! Anyway, we need a new car so I told dh last week we needed to decide for sure because it has such a big influence on the type of car and anyway I'd like a 3 year gap again between ds2 and the next potential dc. Anyway he did say to go for it, so we are getting a 3dc-friendly car and he's been asking his friends with 3 what it's like etc - so basically coming out publicly as wanting another. So in my mind we'll have another if we manage it! (Feeling quite excited.) Just didn't want to force the issue. Wanted to nudge him along into revealing how he truely feels without applying any pressure. It's extra pressure on him to earn a crust too, never mind the increased pressure on family life.

Thanks yo
Our situation is a little different in that I'm the main breadwinner. We plan to split the childcare more evenly in future though as DH doesn't particularly enjoy the baby stage and missed working and I hated working and love the baby stage. That said DH would have to be very involved so it has to be his decision really as I've already agreed not to have any more.
So pleased that it looks like you'll be trying for DC3, good luck

oo good luck cbcb, here's to a 2008 DC3 for you
the annoying thing for me is that i'd resigned myself to no more babies and now the need for more is creeping back again. I keep trying to remind myself of all we went through to bring our 2 DSs into the world (lots of mcs and stressful pgs) but getting and being pregnant has been such a part of my life for the last 5 years its difficult to let go of.
