I am the oldest of 4 biological and 1 adopted. I loved having lost of siblings. We are all close in age and got along well. DH is the middle of 3 boys and he is pretty close to them as well. I do wander how my mom did it though. She had 4 kids under the age of 5 at one point. #3 and 4 are twins.
Depends on how well all the pregnancies and deliveries go..
Yeah, that's going to make a difference for us...but not because of me. Matt's much more upset about the emergency cs than I am. My pregnancy went perfectly. It was just those last few hours that were an issue. Not with me, though. Since I know now that I'm looking at a cs for any subsequent pregnancies, it's actually a lot more freeing.
I really want to have one girl, so it depends what I have next time. If #2 were a girl, I'd be okay quitting. If it's a boy, I'll try again for a girl, but, I won't have more than 5 kids trying to have a girl, I'll stop at 4 boys and live with no daughter.
Before DD I wanted 4. Now I'm thinking 2-3 (depending on what type of sleeper #2 is
DH wants 2 but will go for 3 if I really really want a third

I've never really come up with an answer for this question. It totally depends on finances right now. If they stay the way they are, Quinn will be an only child. But hopefully they'll get better, so the max I would say is 4, but 3 would probably be optimum.
Re: So how many kids do you want to have total?
me: 2-3
dh: 3-4

DH: 4 or FIVE <---
ME: used to be 3-4 but now I am thinking 2-3
I'd like 3-4. Matt would be happy with Joseph alone. But he was an only child, and I was the oldest of four.
He really wants a little girl, though, so I think I can wear him down.
Only 2 for us.. hopefully the next one will be a girl but if not I'm still done
Depends on how well all the pregnancies and deliveries go..?
Before and after the pregnancy and delivery of DS 1, I am still saying 4 + and Dh wants at the most 6.?
We both come from Families of 4 but his extended family is big!?

DH: right now, probably 2. I don't think I can talk him into 3 kids right now. One at a time.....
