Chasey and I like to think that we came to the conclusion to our decision to have a child logically. It is funny to us to watch people's reactions when they find out we are only having one. Same sort of idea here.

Ah, but why was that choice made? Whether someone decides to have 0,1 or 6, it is a selfish decision. No one can say without a doubt that their decision is ONLY for the good of the world or for mankind, or anything else. No one can say without a doubt that ONLY the child they have is going to do great things.
To go another way, same result though: I wanted more kids. Why? There was no reason on earth to have any. Spouse said no way. So, we have the two. The 'reasons' not to have more certainly were logical: expense, no room in the house, the toll it'd take on me physically and the age I'd be.
Being illogical in a decision to have one would be, inarguably, no home, no income, no support, etc. But logical reasons to have any don't exist. Logical
timing does.
You knew the time was right, you knew you wanted this or maybe some other reason. But in the great scheme of things, we bring children into this world for a myriad of reasons, some totally illogical and a few downright ridiculous, but the final reason is the desire to do so at a time in our lives that is right. For us.
