2 or 3 kids? Just wanting opinions/advice

Question

I’m pregnant with my second, and multiple times a day I debate on whether I want 2 or 3 kids. Everyone tells me, “wait to decide until after you have this one” but I can’t stop thinking about it lol! I have a 2 year old girl, and I’m pregnant with a boy. I really want a sister for my daughter, but 2 sounds so much easier and less expensive. What are the differences? Is 3 compared to 2 much harder or expensive?

Answer

I’m stopping at 2 lol. I wanted 3 originally because I grew up with 2 other siblings and Idk I just felt like 3 would be right for us. Once I had my son and got pregnant again I realized I never want to be pregnant again. I had a simple first pregnancy and my son is super sweet and loving, which made me want a second so soon. My son will be 2 when this one is born...but this pregnancy is killing me. So this is my last. It’s also a girl so I got 1 of each so my husband will be getting a vasectomy this summer after the baby is born lol. My other reasoning is I don’t want to be outnumbered and I’m thinking of the future, I don’t want to have to buy another vehicle anytime soon, and I want to save up for their college and first cars.

Answer

I have 3 boys (6, 3, 2) and due in March with my girl (FINALLY!!) lol. I’m done after this though. I swear. 🖖🏽 Because I had all boys first and they’re kind of close, I didn’t have to buy anything but diapers. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ I think it varies and depends on the families financial situation.

Answer

I have 6 and I’m trying for one more lol if I wasn’t so much older I’d have 10 ♥️😂

Answer

We had a girl and then a boy and thought we were done. Two kids close together was wonderful but also very very exhausting in those early years. I felt like my family was complete. 
Fast forward 6 years later and thank God my husband never had a vasectomy because we both got baby fever and decided we have plenty of love to give. We are in a better place financially and I’m able to stay home so the time just felt right and we decided to go for a third! My two older kiddos are so excited and eager to help, plus they are now in elementary school so I’ll have plenty of one on one time with baby. I see how close my son and daughter are and am even considering a 4th so that this baby will have a sibling to play with. 
I would suggest waiting and seeing how you feel with 2 kids before you decide, but definitely don’t do anything permanent if there’s even a remote chance you could change your kind. I’m so glad we didn’t!

Answer

I am in the same boat as you, but pregnant with our second girl. The original plan was for my hubby to get snipped, that way I don't have to go back on birth control, but we've been talking and considering a third. We really have no idea what we're going to do.

Answer

I though i was ready after my first 2, but now i'm married and we all wanted a third baby, so I'm pregnant again! I know a lot of families with 3 kids and I'm very much looking forward to our third baby!
