Census! How Many?

I've seen a lot of questions about TTCing again after you've had your first LO on the board lately. How many kids do you want?

We're between 3 and 4, he wants 3, I want 4, we've opted to evaluate after #3

I said we can have two viable pregnancies, how ever many children that yields, that's what we get! I hope to have one more singleton...I think he's secretly hoping for twins! Eek. Also, he's already said that if the next one is a girl we'll try for one more (and hopefully, a boy)...I told him to talk to his stepbrother who has FOUR girls!

Oh no! No no no! LOL seriously - no. 

Tell him this Mark Twain quote: "Sufficient unto the day is one baby. As long as you are in your right mind don't you ever pray for twins. Twins amount to a permanent riot. And there ain't any real difference between triplets and an insurrection."

It's funny, but also really true...

Can't vote really...it's a mix of the gender and 3 and also why set a number...

Mine is a formula like so: max(3,however-many-it-takes-until-we-have-at-least-one-girl)

So that's meaning, if we have a girl next, then we will have one more for 3 total. But if we keep having boys, then I may have to prepare myself for potentially a lifetime of m/s =P (okay, at some pt, I think I may have to put a limit on it, but I haven't decided what it is...)

We always said that we want at least two and if we handle that okay then we'll go for one more. It also has to do with having a girl. If we had a girl next we might be okay with only two

I had originally thought that 2 was it.  But on my glass half full days, I think, gosh, E is SO much fun, I want 4 or more!  Then on my glass half empty days, I think, ya know, I'm pretty blessed to have one happy, easy, loving and healthy child, it's really all I could ask for.

Considering I'll be a min of 37 if #2 is in the plan, I don't know that I want to spin that genetic wheel.

That's why I voted for 2.  I've always wanted 3, but I'll probably be about 36 for the second, and I really don't want to be 40 with a newborn (and also don't want to push them closer together than that!), so now I think I'd be more than happy with 2.

I feel this way too!  I also loved being pregnant so perhaps the next one won't be so joyful? :P  I voted for two kiddos.

This pregnancy was NOT as joyful as Bella's pregnancy. I feel bad for even saying that but it's been really difficult, morning sickness until week 16, nightmares until week 22, headaches, constant back pain, now nightmares again (they started 3 nights ago)... it's just been WAY more difficult.

this is what we're thinking.
