    how do you know when your family is complete?

    i have 3 gorgeous children, 2 boys 1 girl.
    I adore them all. I started to pack up the baby bits and started giving them away but then I felt sad and had to stop! I don't know if this is because I am "meant" to have another baby or whether i just feel sad that that stage is over!
    How do you know when you are "done" ?xxx

    I have to be done after #4 because I will be really old (39). I also can't afford more. That's how I know!

    This.. I think 4 is good for us. If I had both genders I would probably be done already.

    I always figured that I'd get to a point where I would feel content with my family makeup and ready to move on from the baby stage. I'm kind of 1/2 way there already (I look at the bulkier baby items like the swing and wish I could get rid of them already) but I don't have my girl yet so I don't feel complete either... I don't really know, either.

    People always tell me, oh you'll know when your family is complete. But I have 5 and I've never had the complete feeling. I am worried I'll always more.

    I wish so much I could have another baby. I am so broody. But DH is done. So, all the baby gear is going and every time I give something away it breaks my heart a bit...
