Welcome to the board, Mallyn!

We're having two kids, but no, I didn't make the choice based on environmental reasons. I made it for selfish reasons--I didn't want to be pregnant again.

I honestly have a hard time relating to people who make their decisions for such abstract reasons--not that I think the reasoning is wrong, per se. Just that for me, having a family is a purely emotional, purely selfish thing.

I suppose in my neck of the woods this is a non-issue anyway. We are relying on immigration for population growth, so my having more babies would be a good or at least neutral thing.
