GTKY- MASH Style

Ok I found this on another birth months page but thought it would be fun!
I thought this would be a fun little poll...a spin on M.A.S.H., which we likely all played as a child:
1. M.A.S.H.: Mansion, Apartment, Shack, or House--where are you living now? Do you love it? Hate it? In your "forever house" or something in between?
2. Partner: Are you married? Engaged? Dating? Is your partner the type of person you expected to be starting a family with?
3. How many kids do you want?
4. What type of car do you drive?
1. House, we're living in my husbands house he bought as a bachelor and fixer upper. Let's say it still needs LOTS of fixing but is ok for us now. We're planning to buy a new house next year and keep the one we're in as a rental property.
2. I'm married, actually got married this February but we're going on 3 years together. I met him on Eharmony. The men I'd been dating just weren't working out for me so I decided to try something different and within 3 weeks on the website I met him. I would never have met such an amazing guy had it not been for that website (sometimes I feel silly admitting to people where we met).
3. I would love to have 2, but if this one I'm pregnant with now is a boy we'll only have 1. He has a 19 year old daughter from a previous marriage. I don't have any yet other than my little cupcake that's growing inside me right now :-)
4. I drive a 2013 Mini Cooper S, my husband has a brand new Subaru Imprezza and a Ford Super duty f-350 that I pretty much need a ladder to get into. I might be trading my Mini in for the Mini 4-door Pacman though, I'm a huge Mini fan if you can't tell.
Re: GTKY- MASH Style
2: I'm married. I married my H after knowing him for a few weeks. We met while stationed in Kentucky. We were both in the Army. We deployed to Iraq a week later and have been married for 11 years.
3: I've always only wanted two children, however, our third was a surprise. Then we just decided the more the merrier and tried for a fourth. We will be done now.
4: I drive a Kia Optima, it's a good work to and from car. My H drives a Honda Pilot, it fits our brood.
2. DH and I got married in November 2014, so next month will be 2 years! Like @Wearmi1 we also met online (match.com)! He is everything I was looking for, and I knew that for sure after our 2nd date.
3. We want 2 kids. This will be #1 and we have 6 other embryos frozen... so right now #2 is just kinda hanging out in a freezer
4. 2012 Prius and I absolutely love it! It was especially nice during the gas shortage a couple weeks ago. I only fill up about once every other month, but I also have a 6 mile commute (round trip). The Prius is great but I want a mini van when I have kiddos!
Me: 34, DH: 38 ~ TTC since 2014
IUI #1-3 (Nov 2015, Feb 2016, May 2016) = BFNs
IVF ER (July 2016) = 7 PGS normal embryos

2. Married. Our 6 year anniversary is next month, but we've been together 11 years. If you had told me 12 years ago that this is the man I would marry, I wouldn't believe you as I thought I had a different type. Now I couldn't imagine my life with anyone else. We've been together since my junior year of college.
3. We want 5 and this baby will be #3! Yes... we are insane. We adore kids and we'll probably foster once our kids are older. Every child deserves a loving home. We still have 4 embryos in storage so we're hoping for at least 1 more out of that batch, but we would be thrilled if we got more!
4. Honda Pilot (I mean we do want 5 kids... kinda need the space). Sorry mother nature. We suck.

3. How many kids do you want? 1; maybe 2 but I really just want 1.
4. What type of car do you drive? I drive a Toyota RAV4.
2. Partner: Are you married? Engaged? Dating? Is your partner the type of person you expected to be starting a family with? Married for almost 7.5 years. We met as children and did a long distance high school sweethearts thing and have been together ever since. I knew I was going to marry this boy at 8, he is the BEST father to our children.

DS #1: 3/8/151. M.A.S.H.: Mansion, Apartment, Shack, or House--where are you living now? Do you love it? Hate it? In your "forever house" or something in between?
We have owned our home for about a year and a half. We have done minor remodels...it's getting there. I love the features of our house (walk our basement, walk-in closets, great patio/deck), but our house is a giant rectangle and a 1970s bilevel. I would like something with a little more style or character.
2. Partner: Are you married? Engaged? Dating? Is your partner the type of person you expected to be starting a family with?

@jgil85 and @email2ash Love my Rav4
1. House. This is mine and my husband's first home and we just moved in back in July. It is new construction and we absolutely love it I have my dream kitchen and it's perfect for us now. It's possible that we may outgrow it just becaise of the layout, but we would ideally like to stay here through our children finishing school and then go from there once it's close to paid off.
2. Partner: Married for a year and a half. He is the first person I've ever been able to picture as a partner and father. That's why I married him
3. Kids: I used to want 3 kids, but I'll be 33 when this one arrives so at this point it may be 2. DH has always wanted 2 so I think he may win this one.
4. Car: I drive a Rav4
1. M.A.S.H.: Mansion, Apartment, Shack, or House--where are you living now? Do you love it? Hate it? In your "forever house" or something in between?
We live in a house that I purchased just before we were married. Complete fixer upper and we'll probably do some renovations on it and then sell it in a year or two and look for our forever home. Where we live, homes are super expensive, so right now we're just saving in hopes of upgrading. However, secretly I do love it.
2. Partner: Are you married? Engaged? Dating? Is your partner the type of person you expected to be starting a family with?
Married to my high school sweetheart. We've been married for 2.5 years (anniversary in February, just in time for the baby moon!) We've known each other for 20 years, but have only been married for 2.5. Funny how life works. And I would say that I knew I was going to marry him when I first met him, but it took him 20 years to propose.
3. How many kids do you want?
I would love four kids, but these two have been incredibly difficult to have and I'm going to be 42 this year. I'm happy with two, and if we can more, then great!
4. What type of car do you drive?
Jeep Liberty, but we are looking to upgrade to a Honda Pilot. I told my husband not until we were having child #2 and now he asks me to go looking at a car every weekend since the BFP
P- We have been married 3.5 years. We dated for 2 years prior to that.
K- I only want 2 (so this pregnancy is it) but DH insists on 3-4
C- I drive a 2013 Accord... Prior to that I had a 2009 a Honda Fit. I miss that car.
2. Married for 8 years this December, we met in 8th grade started dating freshmen year and been together ever since
3. My whole life I told everyone I wanted six kids, after I realized pregnancy is not all sunshine and roses I changed my number to four (I have a weird issue with numbers and NEED to have a even number of kids) - I also have this weird obsession with twins and now that I have three and only want four my husband made jokes all the time that we for sure were gonna get twins as a cruel joke to throw off my numbers.
4. We have a Ford Fusion and Ford Expedition for the kids..... I desperately want the new chevy suburban though!
H- The Mr and I have been married for 4 years next month, together for 10 years, and met back in college about 17 years ago. We are crazy about each other and drive each other crazy. Never pictured myself with someone like him, but can't imagine my love being anyone else now.
K- I always wanted 4, but I didn't plan on starting in my mid-30's. Looks like we will be done at 2 kids. I'm too damn TIRED for more after this! Hahaha
C- Somehow we became a Toyota household. I drive a Rav and he drives a Prius. Will probably trade my Rav next year for a new(er) 4Runner. Between my height, multiple car seats, and 2 HUGE dogs we just need something with more space. I wish we could afford the new Volvo wagon that's coming out though...
2. Married for 2.5 years but have been together 6 years. We are complete opposites, but that's probably why it works so well.
3. We've always said 2. But I'm already starting to feel sad that this is the last time I will go through this excitement!
4. I drive an Equinox and I loveeeee it.
2. Married! We've been married almost a year now and I can honestly say that the second I met him, I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. We are very different, but we share the same vision for our lives and he makes me laugh, inspires me, challenges me. He's exactly the kind of person I would have hoped I'd start a family with (though he has a temper in traffic, which he REALLY needs to get under control ha!)
3. I'd love to have 4, but realistically I don't know that there will be time (I'm already 30 and this is my first). Twins run in my family though, so who knows
4. An old volvo right now - though we are going to buy a new car in the next few months. I'm leaning heavily toward a volvo suv but not sure its worth the insanely high price tag. Anyone have any thoughts??
House. Its our third house together. We buy them and live in them while we (DH) fix them up. I can't wait until we get our forever home but we have a lot of things to check off the list.
2. Partner: Are you married? Engaged? Dating? Is your partner the type of person you expected to be starting a family with?
Married 6 years this month. We've known each other for 17 years, were high school sweethearts, broke up for three years, and then reunited. I always knew I would marry him just wasn't ready when he asked me at 18 years old. Hence the break up! HA
3. How many kids do you want?
I wouldn't put a number on it if we could afford as many as we want. I love being pregnant and love birth and raising minions. (I'm weird, I know.) I think 3 or 4 will be our settling number.
4. What type of car do you drive?
I drive a Ford F150 her name is Pricilla. Prior to this beauty, I drove a Ford Escape (Ruby), and a Ford F250 (Harriett). My husband just bought a two door Wrangler (Janet) so I have fun in that too when I go to work sans kiddos.
@cateyes534 - I love that you name your vehicles.

* formally bornmommy
Toyota Corolla, but I'd love to join the list of people on here driving RAV4s.
1. M.A.S.H.: Mansion, Apartment, Shack, or House--I live in a house now that I really like. With another baby though, it's way too small. We got another dog (2 total now) a few months ago and even that made the house feel so much smaller. Definitely looking to move on to something bigger, but will probably stay here another year or two.
2. Partner: I'm not married. I WAS actually married and divorced by my early 20s. My BF and I have been together 5 years now, and I'm still in no rush. I can say though, he's an absolutely amazing dad to our DD and I'm so happy my family is with him.
3. How many kids do you want?
I always thought 4. But now I'm thinking 3 will be good.
4. What type of car do you drive?
I have a RAV4 and I love it.
Were currently renting a basement suite, but just bought a new luxury condo which is still being built- move in date is Nov 18 so I'm looking forward to moving! There's an outdoor pool overlooking the farmlands and mountains, hot tub area and a gym all in the condo! It won't be our forever home but it's a start.
2. Partner: Are you married? Engaged? Dating? Is your partner the type of person you expected to be starting a family with?
Happily married and yes!
3. How many kids do you want?
Originally I wanted 4. I have an 11month old (she turns 1 this upcoming Wednesday!), and with my pregnancy with her I had hyperemesis for 20 weeks straight. Nausea hit me hard yesterday so if this pregnancy is anything like DD's, we will just have 2 biological and will likely adopt a 3rd (maybe 4th!)
4. What type of car do you drive?
VW Tiguan
2. We have been married 8 years and together for 9. We met online
3. We wanted 2 or 3 kids. This is baby #4. All of our kids were planned. So obviously we ended up loving being parents more than we thought
4. I drive a Town and Country. I would like to get a Suburban, but I enjoy the power sliding doors in my van too much with such young kids.
1. M.A.S.H.: Mansion, Apartment, Shack, or House--where are you living now? Do you love it? Hate it? In your "forever house" or something in between?
House, I bought it in 2009 and love it but my husband only sees its flaws and quirks. It's a nice house, but I'm sure you know how it feels when your spouse disapproves of something. We will likely move one day, and if I can somehow manage a miracle my dream is to buy my aunt and uncle's house from them when they sell it to move to their "summer home" in Tennessee. We spent most holidays at that house when I was a child and it's a block away from my childhood home which was demolished, so I'd be able to raise my children in the idyllic storybook neighborhood I love. It's just a matter of whether we can swing the price, as we don't make a lot of money and despite its condition the neighborhood is likely out of our price range.
2. Partner: Are you married? Engaged? Dating? Is your partner the type of person you expected to be starting a family with?
I'm married, and that is a very tricky question. He's far more analytical and cynical than anyone I imagined I would raise a family with, but he is a wonderful father and I'm teaching him patience with my silliness.
3. How many kids do you want?
Three, so after this pregnancy we're closing up shop.
4. What type of car do you drive?
I drive an older model Prius I bought used, it was a splurge for me but actually cost less than most used cars I'd seen and I love it so much, some of my favorite friends live several cities away so the great mileage really comes in handy. Now I just have to figure out how to fit three car seats in it!
2. Married to my best friend. 5 years married, 10 years together. We met in the dorms first week of college and became super close friends for 2 years before dating. He eventually convinced me to go on a date with him and the rest is history!
3. Somewhere between 2-4 haha. We have 1 DS already!
4. I have a GMC Terrain.
DH: 29
DS: 18 months 4/2/2015
Baby #2 EDD: 6/1/2017
2. 5.5 years married, together 11.5
3. Wanted 4. Pregnant with 4th.
4. I drive a Honda Odyssey. Minivan life is good. MH drives a Honda Pilot, also a great car.
2. Partner: My husband, Jonathon, and I got married in May and both wanted to have a baby pretty quickly.
3. How many kids do you want? Two... in an ideal world, a girl and a boy.
4. What type of car do you drive Mitsubishi Galant... hubby drives a Mustang, though, so that may have to change, lol.
2. We've known each other 8 years and have been married for five. And he's my type of guy. A big, bearded, incredibly intelligent guy. I never dreamed I'd married an introvert, but I did.
3. How many kids do you want? 3 or 4. We have a three year old and had a full term stillbirth last year, so we'll see what my body can do. We love kids.
4. What type of car do you drive? A Toyota Highlander.
2. Partner: Married. We have been married for 5 years but have known each other for 12. I'd say yes, DH is a great dad to DD
3. How many kids do you want? Probably 2 or 3
4. What type of car do you drive? A Jeep Commander... which has been riddled with issues, I'm ready for something new.
