Do you now have more children than you planned/bargained for?

I have always maintained that I only want two children and would only go beyond that if I had good experiences durig the other two pregnancies ( wishful thinking). Now I know of parents who say they originally did not plan on having as many children as they now have. They just seem to get so caught up in home and family building that before they know it they have one or two more than they planned for. Has this happened to you also? No regrets I hope. Children are a blessing and child raring is a challenge... So much so that some parents only come up for air after the child has made it through university and are able to support themselves. How has it been for you regardless of the stage that your children have reached? If you dont mind sharing... How many children did you originally plan to have and how many do you have now? Maybe you have less than you planned for...

We just had our third child in November. And we had been trying for the last four years to have her. Now we are so thrilled to have the three we always wanted and are officially done. (Dh already had a vasectomy)
