Thanks ladies!
Money isn't an issue. DH is way underpaid for his position (he could get a job elsewhere for at least 15k more, he just likes the perks of his current job), and his manager knows it. I want to wait at least a year, if not 2 before being preggo again, if we are going to do it. It took 18 months to conceive DD2, and DH is worried it will take that long again (I think this was brought about by my body and mireana not liking each other). I also have pre-term labor issues, DD2 was almost born at 35 weeks, with DD1 the contractions started at 36weeks. DH just doesn't want to be too old when the kids are in college, he is about to turn 31.
I have been on the fence for a while. I knew I wanted at least 2 kids, but no more than 3.

I was 30 when I had DD and nearly 38 when I had DS. Getting to old to have more-- DH is 2.5 yrs older and I am.

I had both my boys by the age of 21. I was on the fence about having a third and trying for a girl but I knew I wouldn't want to do that until the boys where both in school. Plus I really couldn't because of daycare costs. After thinking about it I decided I really wouldn't want to start all over once I had the boys both in school and DH really didn't want anymore kids. I finally had come to a decision about not having anymore children. I had DH go in for the "V" and that was that. However, ever since then I daydream about having a little girl. I wonder if I made a mistake having him go in. I am young and could definatlely have another child. However, financially things haven't been great for us the last couple of years so if we had had another child things would have been a lot harder. I guess I am still on the fence but nothing I can do about it now.

Minutes after having DD1 I told DH that I was ready for another whenever he was. After DD2 I said I'd be happy either way- another or stopping. DH always said he only wanted two so I was prepared to be done but I'd still feel that pull whenever I saw or held a new baby. DH mentioned once about having another and baby fever kicked in hardcore and I was pg two weeks later! After having DD3 I just felt done. I don't get that pull any more, I don't get baby fever any more. I just feel complete with my girls now.
