I've got two kids and until the little one was about 3 I'd get extremely clucky and then absolutely appalled with myself. I'd write down long lists of why having more was a bad, bad idea and there would be nothing on the other side of the paper yet the hormones would rage and totally overrule the big, long list. Even now I get waves of it but age and exhaustion mean that it's not a torment anymore. I couldn't go back to the baby stage - and maybe your wife just needs time to get there too...
