I'm another momma to a small family, just my two girls. We decided on just two for many reasons...
Finances: we didn't want to have to pinch every penny just to get by. With two, we are comfortable (things are still tight).
Age: DH is 13 years older than me and already had a 18 year old daughter when we had our first. He didn't want to have kids later in life.
Health: I had some difficult pregnancies with morning sickness, pre-eclampsia, and anemia. I had to be induced with both my girls and I wasn't wanting to go through all of that again.
But I will say that I love people who have large families, it works for many people. It all comes down to what is right for your family.
