So much of what you say here is me. People ask how many we're planning - this (number 3) is the last. I can't divide myself up anymore, I don't have the emotional energy for more children, without having to sacrifice that which I need for my husband or myself.
Plus I want to be able to do things for myself. I'd like to work outside the home later. At some point - sooner rather than later - I'd like to not have to deal so much with poo and vomit! And I used to think that just having one meant that all your hopes and love was just focussed on that one child - what if you lost him/her? So I figured it was better to have more... until I realised that then there are just more to worry about!!

I loved this entry. I really identify with it.
