For me, when I had my 2nd, I thought that was it...it was an intensive labour and I had pain in tears.
We moved back to hK then, and started to think about having our 3rd. Well you can never guarantee so no.3 may turn out to be a 3rd boy, right? But we did want 3 kids so there we go. No. 3 is a girl!
I have worked all the time so we have had a period with 2 helpers (about 3 years). No relatives to help so we must figure that out. Very hectic schedule all the time!
Sorry if I wasn't clear...I'm 2 boys and a girl, and they are 11.5, 6.5 and 4 so the first 2 are also 5 years apart. That is actually great because now no.1 can help me "play" with the 2 when I cannot attend to them. He likes that very much, being a leader with 2 followers mah!!!
I used to have 2 helpers too as we both work and I travel a bit. Then one helper left and we thought maybe we could handle with one as my husband can help a bit in picking up, etc. 3 of them have started full day schools from this year when we became only one helper.
