This question got asked yesterday so I suggest you go and have a look at the answers to that.
To sum up the answer I gave to it...
Find out why he doesn't want another one.
If it's financial then get another job so you can pay a bit more off the mortgage and get yourself some savings.
If it's the 3am feeds then tell him that you'll do it all.
etc etc etc
If he has lots of reasons then you may just have to accept he's done with babies for now. Get a puppy.
What's wrong with the kids you have already? Are you bored of them?
Good Luck!! xx

One of the most important lessons people should learn in life is that we can't control others, we can only control ourselves. In other words if your husband has made up his mind, there is nothing you can do to change it. I suggest that you do some soul searching and try to figure out why you feel you have to have another child, and what you will do in the event that he won't change his mind. Try also to see it from his perspective: fatherhood is very demanding both mentally and phsycally. Perhaps he just doesn't have it in him to take on the responsibility of another child. The only tip I can offer you is this: Think out your case well. Look for the words to describe why you feel you need another child, maybe write out a budget to illustrate how having another child would be economically feesable, plan a schedule to show that you'd still make time for him, compromise on chores so that his workload remains the same. Things like that.
