Hubby and I have always wanted two. We both come from families where there were only 2 siblings. Now though? We are content with ONE. We don't regret any of the trials to give birth to her or the cost to raise her so far. I know it gets even more expensive after puberty but we haven't gotten there yet. We adore our little girl. BUT we don't want anymore. One is enough. I REALLY do not want to go through 21 hours of labor again. Hubby really does not want to go through a week of sleepless nights due to prelabor. I REALLY do not want to go through another c-section either. ONE is plenty in light of just those problems.
I have a home day care and enjoy it quite well (minus that month of January when cabin fever hits me BIG time) and it gives her lots of kids to play with. She has learned to share quite well in my opinion. She also still gets the one on one attention that every parent wants to give their child. I HOPE that she doesn't become spoiled from being an only child.
