I’m speaking of children. How do you know when enough is enough?

Part of my dilemma is that I have two boys. I always have that thought of a little girl in the back of my mind, though, I surely feel busy, and often overwhelmed, with two boys. Having a girl isn’t really a basis for having another child, AND, there is obviously no guarantee of one. (not that I wouldn’t love another boy in the house!) Plus, do I really want to go through the newborn stage again??? BTW-I’m not a fan of the newborn stage. I’m not one that handle lack of sleep well AT ALL. Ask my husband.

There is also the issue of my age. (33) I’m no spring chicken, though I’m in good health, not overweight and somewhat physically fit. What age is the official cut-off anymore? I think the 30’s is now the new 20’s, but how far should you really push it? You hear of women having babies late into their 40’s even, but seriously, no thanks. I have to think of my age as a grandparent, as I really want to be an active, vibrant one, soooo I don’t want wait too long to decide.

Neither myself or husband are ready to officially call it quits or get surgery of any kind. My husband waffles back and forth as well, which makes it more difficult to decide!

I’m really stumped on this one, and unfortunately, I don’t have all the time in the world to make a decision. I would really love to hear your thoughts, and how you knew when you were done, or if you are in the same boat.
