Another great phenomena is some sort of chemical or hormone that causes selective memory in parents that causes them to repeat the process multiple times.

Not really. My wife and I want another because we want our son to have a sibling, someone closer to his age that he can rely on and confide in. And hopefully he'll take some responsibility in caring for his younger sibling and stop being so spoiled (the price of grandparents living in the same house). For most of my friends who have more than one child, that's usually how it turns out. Everything I've learned from those who were the only child (including my own mother) is that they are spoiled as hell but also lonely. We love our son enough that we'll go through the newborn baby hardship again. But more than two? Forget it.
