I knew I was done after 2. I could never say I wanted another baby, only I wanted a girl. With 2 happy and healthy boys I was content to be done. Now I get to be the fun aunt, all of the fun with none of the late night feedings

We were sure we were done after our third - a Lil Boy after 2 girls. We were happy, content and busy. And then we surprisingly got pregnant with #4. Now we are DONE!!!

We stopped at two children, a son and a daughter. In hindsight, I now wish we had continued and had two more children.

I agree with everything you said and I knew I was done having kids after my second son was born. It was difficult putting my career on hold for a year after my first son was born, which I thought was so important to me. It was even more difficult to go back to work after my second son was born. Trying to be a productive and functional working mom with a one year old in daycare and my older son in junior kindergarten transformed me into a very tired, unfocused, unmotivated and unhappy person who hated going into work everyday. By the time my youngest was 4 years old I was thrilled to have my corporate job come to end and fortunate enough to be able to stay at home with my boys. I could not have gone through another baby every again and dare I say it, I hated the baby stage and the toll it took on me. The trauma of recovering from two c-sections and getting to the other side of postpartum depression there was no way I could do it again. We got a puppy 2 years ago and for a month it felt like I had a new born all over again with the lack of sleep and that experience wiped away any inkling of doubt about our decision to stop at 2 kids. Love cuddling a baby, love handing them back to their mothers more!
