How many?

I've always wanted 5 or 6. Ben and I are hoping to start trying again with Ryan is 11-12 months old.

mckayleesmom replied: We are done with 2.....Me and Leithan have talked about adopting an older child once our children are more independent.

5littleladies replied: Our plan is to have 5, although I'm not sure I will be able to stop there, so I guess only time will tell.

booey2 replied: I really wanted 4-6 but reality hit us with the 2 we have and we are not sure of having more right now. That being said I am now officially 2 days late. oops don't tell DH we aren't supposed to be actively trying and we do use bc.

kimberley replied: wow Terri! you better tell us as soon as you know!

originally i wanted 2. i am about to have my fourth. if things don't change financially, there will be no more. if they do... maybe 1 more.

aspenblue1 replied: We are not sure maybe 1 more.

gr33n3y3z replied: I wanted 4 to 6 kids stopped at 4

booey2 replied:
I think I spoke to soon, it may have been the clocks changing or stress here at work. Am kinda disappointed but oh well, AF seems to be trying to make an appearance will know for sure later.

MyLuvBugs replied: Well I've always wanted 4. 2 boys, 2 girls, and only 3 pregnancies. Yes, I would love to have a set of twins. However, DH and I have decided that we will have 3 pregnancies, and whatever comes, comes. But I pray for twins all the time!! lol

PrairieMom replied: Growing up I always saw myself with 2. After Ben was born I can't imagine only having one more. I refose to admit to myself that this is the very last time in my whole entire life that I can experieance pregnancy. Maybe we will have 3. If this one is a girl it will take a lot of convincing for my hubby to go along with it though.

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: I always saw myself with two. But I think I want three now because I feel the same way, I can't imagine this being my last PG. We will see after the new baby comes. DH wants four, but I just don't see it!

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: I always said I wanted 3 but now I'm not sure. Dh only wants 2 but I think I could convice him to go for 3 if I knew I really wanted it. I think for me the biggest problem is I will always have that feeling of wanting to feel what it's like to be pregnant one more time or have another baby and seeing the world for the first time all over again through them. Unfortunately it just isn't realistic. I wouldn't want to keep having more kids because I am afraid to let go of the baby stage so..... I think we will probably stop at two.
Once I heard someone say that "you will never regret having another child but you might regret not having one" to me that sounded like the dumbest thing I had ever heard because of course you aren't going to regret having one of your kids they will always be blessings and a part of our hearts. I thought about it the other way in that keep having them until you cant have anymore because what if someday you wondered what it would be like to have one more.

anyway sorry for the

My3LilMonkeys replied: DH and I wanted 2, 1 girl and 1 boy. Since we got 2 girls we are considering a 3rd but not for 2-3 more years b/c I don't like having 2 in diapers .

MomToMany replied: Well, if money & space wasn't an issue, I'd seriously consider having a dozen! I came froma family of 7 kids. We're planning on one more for sure sometime soon, so a total of 6 .

amymom replied: Well, I always wanted a LOT of kids. But I was given two. So there we are.

Ophelia replied: Joe and I thought we were done (at least for a while), then got preggie. Counting step-children (which I do) we each have four (one step-dc and 3 children). I'm thinking one more together after this one, but doc says I'm gonna have to wait awhile, because all these "stacked" pregnancies are making my anemia worse (have actually fainted once this time).


Sometimes there's just no good way to say things, so if any of that sounded... off, please know that I love my step-daughter dearly, she's just the cutest little thing .

holley79 replied: Well DH and I have talked about it. We are thinking maybe one more. He is 38 and I am 26. He has his son who is 17 and then Annika will be born before long. We may stop now though. I really don't want Annika to be an only child though. I think it's important to have a brother or sister to grow up with. Brandon will pretty much be out on his own when she realizes who everyone is. I honestly never saw myself with very many children. Everyone in my family has 2 max 3.

CantWait replied: We have 2, and I'm hoping to have one more. Would like to try for a little girl.

3_call_me_mama replied: Well I wanted 4. We decided on 2 after Kathleen was born. But theres always somethign tugging at my heart for another. BUT we may adopt instead. There are SO many babies that are without loving parents adn we would liek to give one of those children a home. SO maybe down the road we will adopt a toddler or an older kid.But who knows..... And Terri I SOOO here ya... if AF doesnt' show up in the next few days (she was suppose to make her appearence on the 1st) then we may be changing plans sooner than we thought

Kay Bear's Mommy replied: We're only going to have 2...
I'd like to have 3 or 4, but DH only wants 2...and if we have more than 2 I may end up needing to go back to work, which would mean losing my preferred position as SAHM.
So it's still up in the air, but as of now we're thinking 2.

booey2 replied:
So, did she show up, she arrived here 2 days late grrr

Mom2Boyz replied: I want to have one more, but dh isn't sure if he wants any more. If money wasn't an issure, I'd have a whole house full

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: I want 2, but my DH isn't so sure he wants another one. We still have a lot of discussing to do!!!
