DH says he's done. And the logical side of me agrees, because I want to be able to afford to raise my children the way I was raised, and until I finish school and get settled in a good job, we're on a pretty tight budget. The emotional side of me can't decide, though. One minute I feel like we've got a perfect little family of four now. Then I find myself already missing the joys of pregnancy (oh how quickly I forget how miserable I was at the end 
) and Elina's tiny little newborn self. Then the next minute I remember that once Elina is old enough we can start doing fun things like camping out, and I'll be able to be my normal energetic self again, which won't happen anytime soon if we have another!
DH says that other than the money thing, he doesn't see himself being able to handle having that many children. And yet, he says, if we ever end up pregnant with a third, we'd have to have a fourth as well.
We haven't been as careful as we should be if we definitely don't want any more, although I didn't get first pp AF back with ds until 15 months (when I went back to work for my full 8 hour shifts) so I doubt we have much to worry about. We have been trying to remember to use the pull out method though. And I'm supposed to get an IUD put in shortly. I'm not thrilled about it because of the stories I keep hearing and reading about the cramping and bleeding though.
