DH and I *want* 4 more after this one.

  • wow, 4 more?  good luck.  Smile

     We are pretty sure that we are done after 1.

  • I repeat, MOM, let me get through this one before we start talking about more.

    Maybe 2 or 3 total. Right now 1 would be good.

     

  • ask me after this one  ;-)

    At least 1 more, maybe 2 (for a total of 3-4).

  • One or none. This could very well change, though. LOL

  • this baby will probably be our only child together. DH has a 13 year old son from his first marriage. DH is almost 43... and i think he thinks he's getting too old for any more children. lolllllllllllll. plus, i can't fathom how we would afford more than one.
  • I'd like 3 and DH would like 2. We'll see who wins after we have our baby since she's our first.

  • I would love 4 more too but I think we will only be able to afford 2 more after her.   ( But i did tell DH that I don't want to stop until we get aleast one boy and one girl) 
  • Possibly one more, but this one may be our one and only.

  • We want 4. 

    But we'll probably only do IVF one more time.  So if we get twins, we'll adopt the last one (or possibly two) and if we get another singleton we'll adopt two more at the end.  Either seperately or a sibling group.

    Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!

  • DH and I think we want 3-4 after this one--but we think that may change depending on the personalities of our children.
  • I would like to have 3 more after him, but we will see.
  • 1 or 2 more after this, hopefully.

  • We are seriously thinking this will be our one and only, but we may decide to have one more. For us, I think one would be perfectly fine, but then i feel a little bad that my little girl would not have a sibling.
  • I think it's important for a child to have siblings, but that allure of having only 1 child is definitely strong!! So I'm undecided...
  • we are done after this baby she makes two for us
  • I'm really not sure.  We always talked about 2 but right now I'd say just this 1.  We'll see what happens though.
  • After this I'd like 2 or 3 more.

    LOL Good luck with that, you might still be going after 4 more! My BFF is having her 5th girl in about a week. They can afford maybe one child, and are already talking about trying again for a boy. 

     

  • We want 2 kids in total, so one more after this.

  • We might be done, this is my second and DHs first. Of course all we hope for is a healthy baby but if we visit the topic again it won't be for 4-5 years.

  • If you had asked this before DD we would have said 4, now we are a little more realistic in the money and time category so I think we might be done, one more max!
  • 1 more, two more max!

  • Wow.  5 total?

    We're thinking 3 total, but we'll see.  If we love it and can afford it, maybe we'll challenge his parents.  Although I don't know that I want to give birth 9 times, lol.

    Edit: I should say that I'm thinking 3 total, DH wants an even number for our trips to Disney, lol.  Nice to see where his priorities are :)

  • This will be my 2 of 2 most likely.
  • This is a topic of much debate in my house.  DH keeps saying this one (#2)is it.  I've always wanted 3 and would go to 4 to get at least one of each sex.  I think he will be more open to more if #2 is another girl, b/c he def wants a son at some point.
  • We will have 1 more for a total of 2.

  • At least 3 total.  I could go for 4, but both DH and I would getting up there in age by that point.

  • I've been saying "one and done" throughout this pregnancy. But in reality I think 2. I'm an only child and always wanted a sibling.

  • We want 3 more after this (4 total)
  • I want one more but I think MH wants two more.  We'll see.

  • wow your brave, we want 1 more but there is a small possibility we will have 2 more, it's going to be at least 3 years before have another though. 
  • Healthy first BUT 2 if the next one is a girl, three if we have another boy...

    (I half jokingly told DH that is when we would get pg with twin boys!!)

  • We always said 4 kids. So, we're still keeping our options open. This is #3 for us. 3 kids in 3 years is a LOT to handle. We didn't realize that we are that fertile, so we need to be able to handle all these kids emotionally. If I don't become a wreck after this one, then we're having 1 more! LOL!
