Stopping at 3? Not sure if I want to.

DS is a few weeks old & i'm struggling to adjust to having three children, but at the same time I keep feeling really emotional at the idea of him being my last baby.

I had always planned to stop at three - for reasons of finance & not wanting to contribute more than my fair share to an already over-populated planet (not judging anyone else with more than three btw!) & also having grown up as one of four i remember the stress having such a big family caused my parents.

I just don't know whether i'll ever feel our faimly is 'complete'.

Better run as ds has just woken up screaming. Hope this post makes some sense.

I thought I was stopping at 3 when pregnant with no 3, then when she was 3 months old DP was saying we could have just one more, took him 5 seconds to convince me. DS is now 3 1/2 and an utter joy I do have that complete feeling now.
