Ha ha, he wanted two, I was thinking three but then got so evilly ill in my second pregnancy that I swore I'd never do it again - ended up getting the bonus prize from that pregnancy (twins!), plus a big surprise 20 months later.

After the gremlins, I really wanted another, and managed to convince Willie, but we were thinking we'd start TTC once the gremlins started preschool. After 13 mths TTC the gremlins, we didn't expect to get a one-shot wonder on their first birthday .

Since lil miss tho, I have felt our family is complete. It just seems to fit, and even tho I cluck over other people's babies, I'm also glad I'm past that now. We just sold the cot which was sad, but also exciting - the start of a new era.

We haven't made any permanent "arrangements", as I could potentially still have babies 15 years from now, but four children is plenty, and I think we'll stick with it. Having kids young means I'm now in a position to focus on my career, and we'll be able to afford to give the kids a decent lifestyle - four kids is HORRENDOUSLY expensive!

Hmmm, I always wanted three. And I got three. I am paranoid about getting pregnant again even though I have an IUD bahaha. I suppose we might change our minds in a few years time but I REALLY don't want to have to buy a bigger car!!!!!!!

We bounce between 2 and 3 quite a bit, but generally sway towards 2.

I came from a family of 4, I'm the youngest, and 3 older are all boys. I would never, ever, do that to one of my kids, so if we ended up with 3 boys, it'd most definately be the last!!!!

But yeah I think we are pretty mutually agreed on 2. But then again, number 1 isn't even here yet, and we do have a 4 bedroomed house so who knows?!!??

When pregnant with Ollie, DH & I agreed on 2. After Lilia was born we would sway between 2 & 3. Actually I should say that I swayed between 2 & 3! DH was happy with 2 but would have given it serious thought if I really wanted 3. Anyway I finally decided that no, 2 is fine for us. Then 6 or so weeks later, surprise! BFP!

Now that Caleb is on his way it feels right and I haven't admitted it to DH yet, but I've actually started thinking about number 4! This is mainly because Ollie & Lilia get on so well and I worry about 1 child being left out.

*If* we were to have another after Caleb, I would want to have it sooner rather than later as I think small age gaps work well for us and I'd rather not be too much older when pregnant.

Oh and on the room thing, O & L started sharing a room this weekend to free up a room for bub. The first night was a bit of a 'mare (it was waaay too exciting for Lilia) but since then we've only had to return her to bed about 3 times a night. They seem to enjoy sharing a room and Ollie usually sleeps through most of Lilia's antics

Good luck with the decision making J!
