I'm content with 2. Before we had Heike and while I was pg with her, we assumed we'd have a third, but once she arrived both dh and I knew our family was complete. I had a few twinges since then, thinking about how nice a third would be, and then we had a false positive pg test 2 months ago (can you believe it?!) and I felt nothing but relief when we realised the test had been false. So I know I'm done. I can look at friends' newborns and hold and snuggle them and then happily give them back.

I think for me a big part of the change is that I feel I'm now in the phase of my life where I'm raising my kids, rather than making them. I look forward to having both of mine in a phase where we can really communicate - 5 is such an awesome age, I can't wait to get the youngest there!

So... I don't know if that helps you at all. I'm 100% content, I feel blessed with the kids I have and I know that I will be a better parent to these 2 than I could be to 3. This is very specific to me, and comes after much prayer - and I'm just grateful that God has given me peace about this. I will that you will have similar peace about whatever it is that God has planned for your family.
