Need handholding...unexpected pregnancy

Hello, just found out this morning I am unexpectedly pregnant with DC3 and I am in turmoil.
I always thought I wanted 3 DCs but over the last few months, since my youngest turned 2, I was coming round to the idea of sticking to 2 DCs. DH has always said he didn't want more than 2, and seems a bit gutted by the news. I am not happy and was praying for a different outcome this morning.
I don't feel ready for another baby and I don't even know if we can afford one. I am so scared but I also feel so stupid because I stopped taking the pill and was relying on the rhythm method...I am also worried that DH blames me for stopping the pill, but after being on it for over 10 years I was just fed up of the irregular bleeding, and he won't get a vasectomy.
Not sure really what I'm after with this post. I feel terrible for hoping that I might miscarry and for considering a termination.
If I have the baby, will we resent him or her? Will I be able to cope with 3 DCs considering I have found 2 challenging?

I would forget about that for now - you could do something like mirena, or he the snip in future.
