35. DS is our first, and I'm pretty certain we're one and done.
I say "pretty certain," because I could probably be convinced to have one more. I don't think H could be, though. And I'm okay with that.
For the record, where I'm from (MA... and then lived in CA) we're right on target, age-wise for kids (well, I am... DH is 40). Here, though? (STL) we're definitely on the older side.
Maybe we are twins? Lol!
35 for me.
DS is our first ( took 3 yrs).
I would like another but don't think Dh will go for it. He just turned 41.
TTC #2: March - May 2014 - Natural cycles - no luck June 2014 - Clomid 50mg - BFN July 2014 - Clomid 50mg - BFN August 2014 - Clomid 50mg - BFN September 2014 - Clomid 50mg - Fingers crossed...
25. L is our first. DH and I both want a larger family. I think we agreed on a total of 4 kiddos. We will try for baby 2 next fall when L is about 18 months.
Thanks for the birthday wishes! It was kind of a meh birthday actually...we're in CO so we've got flooding everywhere and all our bday plans for last night and this weekend went out the window....oh well.
30 and DS is our first. @MAdams728, we also waited quite awhile, DS was born 12 days before our 10 year anniversary!
We'd like to have another sometime, maybe 2 years.
DS is our second boy. I'd like to have one more. Still working on convincing DH. the 4 month sleep regression isn't helping my case lol. Probably when DS is 2 or so.
Age: 34 DD was our first Bonus: I THINK we will want number two... I know I do, but I feel like although DH is amazing, I was pretty much doing all the work the first month, and want to make sure he understands he'd be on toddler duty before number 2 happens! We would start TTC next summer, to hopefully have them right around 2 years apart.
One more biologically in a few years. A third via adoption if we can afford it.
I don't know if they have it in your area, but if we ever do decide to do a private newborn adoption again, we will use Catholic Family Services. It's income based and you never pay over 10k no matter how much you make. The waiting times can be long, but it's a great option for those who need to adopt on a budget. Any other agency, you're looking at 18k-25k for African American to biracial and up to 60k for a white baby. Yeah. Just another reason why I'd never use a private agency again....
This makes me sick. I saw a report on Colin Kaepernick the 49ers QB. His adoptive parents were told that because they already had a child "no way could they get a healthy or white child. They'd have to settle for a child with a disability or a black or Hispanic child". His mother was like "you think I care what color he is??? Disgusting.
There is a lot we didn't know about adoption that we found out the hard way. Our agency even suggested we don't tell birth mothers about my LFS because it will scare them away and to say we are adopting for "medical reasons" which would sound like infertility, when we are in fact fertile.
I saw some of that on your blog. Sad, sad, sad. It's no wonder most people end up going international. Thanks for the rec for Catholic Social Services. I'm passing that info to a friend who may start the adoption process. She has had ridiculous heartache with IF and is completely discouraged by the adoption process. I will probably tell her to check out your blog.
DS is my third. (We have two other boys, ages 6 and 4.)
We are stopping at 3! As much as I wouldn't mind a 4th, it's just not practical for financial reasons. Our house is bursting at the seams, and eventually I'll need to go back to work. Besides, 3 kids is my sanity limit. DH is working up the courage to get snipped. ;-)
Age: I'm 31, DH is 35 Children: DS is 20 weeks tomorrow Bonus: Whenever AF comes back we will try for #2. We'd like 3, and would prefer them close in age.

They are our second and third.
Considering that we were "one and done" before being surprised with twins, I'd say we are definitely done.
I'm 25
DD is our first
I'd like to have 2 more children before I'm 30. We are going to try for our next one when A is a year old.
