How many children do you want?
I always thought I wanted only two, but now I am leaning towards three..just haven't convinced DH yet! I come from a large family and have always loved having a bunch of siblings.

I want at least 3, but would be open to many more. DH and I always wanted lots of kids. I am blessed with a husband who is very open to life (wouldn't have married him otherwise).
We would be happy with one, but we'd like for Rosie to have a sibling, so we'll have two.
I feel very guilty that we're not super enthusiastic to have another, like it says that I don't like being a parent or something. I think I also feel guilty because I know so many people who have two under two, and I'm the only person I know who isn't clamoring to have another. Watch, next time around I'll have twins!
2 max.. so this is it with our second DD.
Both of us are only children, my parents are deceased, we are estranged from MIL and barely talk to FIL.. but 3 feels like a stretch to us, we want to devote as much as we can to our children so 2 feels like a great ratio.

I'd love 3 or 4...DH says only 2. If we have another boy, I think I can convince him to try for a girl
I know he wants a daughter. He wanted G to be a girl. I have 3 siblings....but grew up with just one. My parents adopted my 2 youngest siblings while I was in college. My biggest fear is that we'll have trouble getting pregnant again. We got preggo so easily the first time and I don't want to have an only child.
We would love to have a bunch - but I don't think I have it in me, to be honest. If I could give birth to a toddler - then maybe. But the infancy stage has been so rough on me and we have no help in the area...I never thought those two things would be issues, but they really are.
We'll probably stop at two biological children and we hope to adopt as well.
Well, I would love 3 or 4....but I am getting up there and it took so long to get Ryan that we may not get to that number. I am blessed with 1, but hope for at least 2!
We will not be waiting long to try for #2, like maybe when R is 6 mos old......we wont kill ourselves trying but won't avoid either.
However, I guess we need to have sex to get pregnant.....that has not happened yet! lol
DH wants 2, and I want 4, so we will probably end up compromising at 3. I think he would be easily convinced to go past 2 if this next one is a girl because he definitely wants a son, and we are the only ones that can carry on the family name. We will see what happens with #2 and how we both feel after that.
I have always wanted 4 or 5 but we'll see how birth of the first one goes- DH said he'd like 2 but after he found out it was a boy he was like, "we're done, right?"
