How did you know you were done?

I only wanted one baby. Then, I had my first and loved being a mom so much, I decided I wanted 5. After 10 pregnancies, 7 miscarriages, and one infant loss, we currently have 3 living children.I want one more. I think.I want another baby. I am confident I only want one, no more. I want the 2am snuggles and those sweet milestones and the first toothy grin and all of that. I will gladly take the night wakings and teething and sore nipples.I also want our 9mo to have someone closer in age to grow up with (our older two are 5 and 7).However...I have worked really really hard to get back to a good weight, and I don't want pregnancy to derail all of my work! I also really need a breast reduction, but being able to nurse my children is important to me, so that would have to be put off.Adoption would solve pregnancy problems, but there is no way we could afford an adoption. I would LOVE to adopt a baby from a young woman that would otherwise abort. That's a cause close to my heart...or a special needs baby...but it's not financially feasible and could take years.I'm really torn here!How did you know you were done? Did you have to compromise anything when you came to that decision? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2vhDol4
