We have three children now, and we are trying to decide if it is time to close the book on building our family or try for one more. I just feel torn. I was wondering how others knew that they were done. I constantly feel as if I am missing someone. My husband is utterly happy now with three, and would be estatic with 4. Finances would not be an issue. I just can't decide if I really want another child or am having a hard time moving on to the next phase of my life.

If you're constantly feeling like you are missing someone then maybe your family isn't complete. Maybe God is trying to tell you something. I say go for number 4!

I am the mother of 4 wonderfull children, and once number 4 came into the world I felt completely whole. I have not thought about having another one since his birth a year ago, and with the other three I knew within a few months that I wanted more. I am done now and I just knew I was after his birth. My family is whole and finished and just as it should be. Not that I can't wait when in a few years it will be my turn to hold a little baby again, but this time the baby will be my grandchild, lol. I think you will know in your heart when your family is whole, and the number is different with every family. Good Luck with your decision and enjoy your family no matter how big or little.

I have a greater number of children than you do, and even though I felt I was done long ago, I am very happy with my large family. If finances aren't an issue, your husband is agreeable and you feel the need to fill, go for it. You won't regret it. At least that is my experience.

I had more of an issue with society thinking I shouldn't have more children than my husband, family or myself.

Good luck. Follow your heart.

if you feel like there is someone missing- I would definately hold off on doing anything until you are absolutely sure.....
we have 4 boys and a girl and I know many families that have 8+ children...there is an attorney in our town that has 8 and they want to continue to have more...my doctor has 6....so...
I think you should do whatever is going to make your family happy and whole.

What did they do with the waste? i'm useful they simply threw it faraway from the boat into the waters around them. That does no longer inevitably have been a foul subject considering the fact that marine existence poop interior the waters for all time. What relating to the plant life does no longer they drown? on an identical time as the waters of the Flood positively did adversely impact many plant life and wood, it does not seem unbelievable that particular wood and plant life might survive it. Take, as an occasion, the olive tree. The olive tree is relatively hardy. it is been stated of it that “an previous stump will proceed to deliver up new stems, as though its energy have been indestructible.” (the hot Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of non secular wisdom, quantity IV, internet site 404) it is likewise noteworthy that the Greek logician and scientist Theophrastus and the Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder have reported that the olive has grown under water interior the crimson Sea, keeping its verdure there. So the olive tree might have remained submerged under water for some months for the time of the Flood with out dying. With the abating of the waters an olive tree that have been lined thereby might back be on dry floor and can desire to place forth leaves, so the dove might desire to surely acquire a leaf. The return of the dove with the freshly plucked olive leaf in its invoice became of importance to the ark’s human occupants. In that way “Noah have been given to renowned that the waters had abated from the earth.”—Gen. 8:11. does no longer the salt water and freshwater mixture be deadly to all the fish? Many sea creatures can stay on the combination of salt and clean water. Take, as an occasion, the Norwegian technique Atlantic salmon that are raised for merchandising contained obtainable. for the time of the technique, stay salmon are moved from clean water to salt water. yet another occasion is the hippopotamus. it could additionally survive in salt and clean water. In modern-day-day floods, it is been stated floating on precise with its head protruding and swimming against the bypass of the flood. it could additionally run on the floor at 8 miles in step with hour. those are merely 2 examples, yet there are various species of marine existence that can stay on the combination of clean and salt water.

You get to a certain age and your kids get to a certain age and you know you are done. Think about getting an IUD so you don't have to worry about birth control but the option is still there if you decide to have one more.

I am in the same boat as you in making up my mind. I cannot tell you what to do as i cannot tell my ownself what to do but maybe in time something will wake us up and tell us what to do as to whether we should have another kid or not.
Good luck to both of us
