How many of us actually look at any one of our children and think "I regret having this kid"? <BR/><BR/>Even if things got a bit tougher after baby arrives, do you think you'll ever say to baby, "I wish you had never been born"? <BR/><BR/>The scenario has changed. Baby is precious baby. The rest are logistics. How can logistical difficulties even come close to the preciousness of another member of the family? You'll move heaven and earth for any one of your kids if need be.

But thinking further along, two kids seem pretty miserable company. When mom and dad are gone, they will want a family get together at Chinese New Year too. The third addition turned out to be a delight. All the neighbors are envious our trio get along so well together, with none of the sibling rivalry they are putting up with.
