Moms: When do you know your family was complete?

So I have 2 children, and my husband wants to be done having kids and I dont. I want 1 more kid. I do have days that I think I might be nuts if I have one more, but for the most part I still have that want for 1 more baby. My husband and I have agreed that him getting fixed or me getting pregnant have to be 100% agreed upon by both of us.

So please tell me what made you say that ok Im done and you felt like your family complete?

Update:

We agreed upon 3 when we got married, but with some major complication during my second pregnancy scared my husband, but it all turned out all good and we now have a healthy 15 month old.

    If you don't feel like your family's complete, it's not complete. Explain this to your husband. Maybe adoption is better for you if you're ok with that, because this way you won't have to worry about a complication with your pregnancy. If your husband really doesn't want another, you guys could get a dog (lol), but if you really want this, than I think you can convince him.

    I have four kids right now. They range in age from 2 months to 7 years old. I'm kind of like you right now. Somedays I feel like, "When Lisa (my 2 month old) gets a bit older, let's have another!" But other days I feel like, "5 kids, that's crazy!" My husband is happy with what we have now, and he feels like the family is complete. So we'll see. If it happens, it happens, if it doesn't, then it doesn't.

    i have one son (age 5) my husband and I were really really young when we had him. we have this talk all the time we would love to have another child but financially (unless he gets this job) we cant do it.

    I have 2 sisters, the oldest one has 4 boys the other sister has 2 girls

    the oldest w/ 4 boys cant have anymore children but i won't surprised if she started to adopt

    the other sister w/ 2 girls also cant have children she also has heath prob. and i have heard her say things like i love my girls i would do anything for them but i wish i would have made better decisions. so i know she will prob never have more

    look at the duggar family 19 almost 20 but they are still going not that they should be

    Source(s): i think its just a feeling you will know when your done

    Me and my boyfriend have decided to only have one... I want another but I think I'll get a dog instead. The fact that I got pregnant with our first so young pretty much screwed my chance for a bigger family.

    We decided before getting married we want 3.
