Hi D.,
I know who you are. My son Matthew used to go to school with Jake. If you can afford the third child the hell with what everyone else says. My only biased is that I came from a family with an older mom and older dad (42/44 at time of my birth). I also had an older brother was 12 1/2 years older so they pretty much focused much of their attention on me. They were also very financially secure so that was never an issue. As a child from older parents the only thing I ever felt was annoyance and embrassment when people would ask me if my mom was my grandma. I'm not trying to turn you away from the idea. Just giving you an insight from the child's point of view. I say go for it. I personally am stopping with 2 (I'm due June 9th). I have to work once Emily is born and Matthew has become a really difficult handful and frankly I don't have the energy to keep up with him.
