Once in a while, I get the urge to have one more, but it passes. I think about dirty diapers, and college funds but mostly, I think about how long it takes to go anywhere with bottles to make and diaper bags to pack and car seat straps and the crick I get in my neck trying to ensure everything and everyone is harnessed properly in the vehicle and that's just to go grocery shopping. It was a half an hour fiasco every time.

I love my kids like nothing on earth, but I am so happy to be able to just go. I open my mouth and say "Anyone who wants to go for ice cream, needs to be in the car in 5 minutes." Lo and behold, I can put on my shoes, go out to the car and there the little darlings sit, all strapped in with all the proper attire and sometimes even a little purse with some change in it to buy their own treat.

I think about that and then I lean over and give my husband a big ole kiss to let him know how much I appreciate the fact that he had the gumption to say "Two is enough."
