Re: GTKY: Kids
How many do you want? I thought 2
How many do you think you'll actually have? 50/50 2 or 3. If we have another we are done done done!
How many siblings did you grow up with? Just 1
One kid
How many do you want?
I'd like to have three, DH only wants two
How many do you think you'll actually have?
Probably two, put I'm holding out for three, lol
How many siblings did you grow up with?
Just one sister
DS2 due 12/12/18
How many do you want? 4
How many do you think you'll actually have? 4 when and if we have a 4th I will get my tubes tied after
How many siblings did you grow up with? This is a tricky question... I have 1 full brother and 1 half brother. I have 4 step siblings on one side and 2 on the other.
How many do you want? 2
How many do you think you'll actually have? 2
How many siblings did you grow up with? 2 brothers, they were adopted before I was born.
How many kids do you want? 3 total
How many do you think you'll actually have? 2 total, H is set on us only having one kid together, but I'm working on convincing him that we should have 2. It's not going well so far!
How many siblings did you grow up with? I had 5 older brothers.
Me: 30 | DH: 34 | DSS: 14 | DS: 4
PG #2, EDD 10/12/2023
How many do you want? 2-3 I'd REALLY love three and have finally gotten DH on board with that, but practically speaking, I figure we'll have #2 and see how that goes!
How many do you think you'll actually have? I have a feeling we'll have 3, as long as it works out timing wise (I'm 36 and still have 2 more babies to have to get to three!)
How many siblings did you grow up with? 1 brother. Kind of a sad story, he's a really bad alcoholic and has been for years, to the point that we're not really in contact, so that's part of the reason I want three, if that makes sense. Just better odds that at least some of the siblings will be there for each other in adulthood.
How many do you want? 2
How many do you think you'll actually have? Hopefully 2
How many siblings did you grow up with? I have 1 brother, and we're 7 years apart
How many kids do you have? 0!
How many do you want? 2-3
How many do you think you'll actually have? Who knows! I think probably 2, assuming everything goes to plan, but we'll see once we get there!
How many siblings did you grow up with? 3. I liked having 3 siblings but I def can't imagine having 4 kids of my own!
How many do you want? 2
How many do you think you'll actually have? Hopefully 2!
How many siblings did you grow up with? One brother and one sister. We are all close in age and I'm the baby.
I have always wanted 2. Now I wonder if I will desperately want a third the same way I desperately wanted a second.
EDD March 12, 2018
EDD March 12, 2018
ETA: for some reason it only posted that question and didn't post the rest
How many do you want? 2, maybe 3
How many do you think you'll actually have? I am just praying for 1 right now. I hope my body can handle having babies.
How many siblings did you grow up with? Just 1 older sister, who has given me a beautiful, perfect niece. Can't wait to feel how much love I have for my own kids after knowing how much I love Emmy
How many do you want? 3
How many do you think you'll actually have? 2
How many siblings did you grow up with? 4. Half siblings, so it's messy. I lived with 3 (one full sibling and two half) in my mom/stepdads house, and I have one more sibling I saw a few times a year because she lived in my father/stepmoms house.
How many do you want? Lots. Not sure how many yet.
How many do you think you'll actually have? Probably just 2 or 3.
How many siblings did you grow up with? 2 older brothers.
How many do you want? 3-4
How many do you think you'll actually have? 3
How many siblings did you grow up with? 4 siblings but I had 19 aunts and uncles, so I had a plethora of cousins always around
How many do you want? First we were done at 3, then at 5 for sure. But now I have no idea. I would actually really like to adopt a girl or maybe even a small sibling set from foster care, if they will allow us to have that many kids (pretty sure the household max in my county is 6 kids total, though).
How many do you think you'll actually have? Fingers crossed for 6. Can't believe I just typed that! Truly sounds crazy but isn't really, I swear.
How many siblings did you grow up with? Just one younger brother. I feel very lucky to have him, though! But I always wished I'd had lots of siblings, and also loved spending time with my MANY cousins (my dad was #4 of 9).

How many do you want? 3
How many do you think you'll actually have? 3. DH is a maybe on that 3rd, but he seems to be more and more okay with a third every time we talk about it.
How many siblings did you grow up with? 2 i'm the baby!
How many do you want? I think we've settled on 2 or 3. It depends on how things go and all that.
How many do you think you'll actually have? Probably 1 or 2. I really think that 3 would be pushing it, unless we had a multiple birth in there somewhere. I'm already 32, I'll be 33 in about a month and a half. I also have PCOS and am fat (fat isn't a four letter word for me; to me, it's the same as saying "I'm blonde" or "I'm married"). So... We'll see what happens.
How many siblings did you grow up with? I was the middle of three, and DH is the oldest of two.
Diminished ovarian reserve
BFP: 4/14/2020 EDD: 12/20/2020
How many kids do you have? One--she's twenty months
How many do you want? 2 because of finances and I like traveling too much
How many do you think you'll actually have? 2 unless I have twins. They run in my family
How many siblings did you grow up with? 3
How many do you want? I think 3, somedays 4 (i.e.,twins)
How many do you think you'll actually have? Probably 3. DH only wants 2, but says he will do whatever I want. Not sure if that's how I want to go about having another, but we will figure it out by the end of the year.
How many siblings did you grow up with? None
How many do you want? 2
How many do you think you'll actually have? 2. DH and I are in agreement here. He always only said 1 until recently. Our son is 8 months old and SO FUN. I think that convinced him

How many kids do you have? 1 biological and 2 step teens
How many do you want? I've always wanted 3
How many do you think you'll actually have? 2 or 3 more. I count my step children as mine but when I think of how many kids I want I think about how many biological children I want. I never imagined i'd have 4-5 kids but looks like that is where I'll fall.
How many siblings did you grow up with? I am the baby of three. I don't know that my family size influences my opinion. At one time I wanted 6 kids then I babysat for a family of 5 and decided nope that is to many LOL. My family dynamic did help in decide age spacing though. My sister is 7 years older and my brother is 14 years older. I have always vowed to not have my kids that far apart in age. My sister and I have a pretty distant relationship, partly age and partly we just don't share interest. I was always put off by my sisters "mothering" of me after I moved out of my parents house. I don't really have any relationship with my brother. He was off the the military when I was 4 and then rarely came home. We started visiting him yearly when my nephew was born but I was a teen so no common ground. When my sister started having kids he started visiting every year or two. Still working on developing relationship.
