another baby or not?

Hi. I would like some advice.
I have 2 lovely children a little girl who will be 4 soon and a baby boy who will be 1 soon.
My DH has booked in to have the snip and an appointment has come through for August 18th. As soon as the appointment came I felt really sad at the thought that we would never have children again. Now I really want another one. I don't know if this is Just because the appt came through. I really feel I want another one.
I am doing an access course at the moment which I complete next year, I can then apply for a nursing course, which is something I have wanted to do for ages.
Shall Just be grateful for what I have got? If I have another one then childcare is going to be a problem, especially with my course and if I put off my course for too much longer, I probably won't get a place at university because I will be too old as I will be 35 soon and feel I don't have much time left (if you what I mean) so I need to decide quick especially as hubby is booked in next month.
My DH says I should just concentrate on my career now and think about myself (as I have been a full-time mum for 4 years) and should be out in the real world socialising a bit more and working. Then he says that if I want another baby it's up to me.
Shall I Just be grateful? especially as friends of ours have been ttc for nearly 2 years now and are the same age as us.
I feel totally selfish but I really feel ready for another baby. My kids are so good,very happy and easygoing, I am finding motherhood a real pleasure.
What shall I do??
any advice?
