I somewhat disagree with the first sentence of your post: new borns are never boring!

Saying newborns are boring does not mean he was taking away their awesomeness. Just that it's the same routine with them every day. Eat, sleep, cry, poo; rinse and repeat. The routine breaks when they start smiling :)

This being said, I stopped at 2 kids… but for other reasons.

I have got 2 already and not eager to get a 3rd to the chagrin of my wife. Although she's a bit calm now that I do not hold a daily job :)
