Babies: 3 - 6 Months

How many kiddos do you want to have?

Re: How many kiddos do you want to have?

  • Originally 4 but SO said no, boo.  I did talk him up to 3 though!  That is my ideal anyway.

  • Originally we agreed on 4 max, but now I'd be okay with just our one. I had a terrible pregnancy, an even worse delivery and a HORRENDOUS recovery. I'd be a-okay to never sign up for that again. 

    Now if we could afford to adopt, I'd be all over that and adding babies to the family like crazy. :) 

  • We are undecided if it will be 2 or 3. We will make the decision when #2 comes! (and no has nothing to do with gender. It will just depend if our family feels "complete" after #2 or not)

  • I would love 4 as well!  Not sure if I could actually handle that so we've agreed to take it one baby at a time. ;) (Unless we get multiples of course.)  DH was an only child and I am one of five.  I'm thinking I'll be lucky to convince him on three.

  • I am hoping for 3 but not sure how we will be able to afford 3 in daycare and we'd need a bigger house, we only have 3 bedrooms now.  So we may have to wait and see how the financial situation is at that time.

  • DH always said 1 MAYBE 2. I said 2 or 3. I am thinking 2 bc I am sure he wants to try for a boy!
  • I'm okay with just having DS and SD.  I REALLY miss being pregnant tho here lately (no where close to how much I love having DS here tho).  I think it is because SO's brother's GF is pregnant and so is his aunt (with twins).
  • We will decide after #2.  This is totally TMI, but I had vulvar varicosities during my pregnancy.  They developed around 32 weeks and were really painful.  My MFM specialist said that they would return in subsequent pregnancies...and earlier, too.  I am not sure if that is true.  I will see what happens next time and take it from there.  Luckily, they go away after the baby is born!

  • Well before LO came along, we said 2 or 3.  Now that I've experienced the horrible recovery after labor, we'll be okay with just one.  Smile
  • I'd like 4 or 5, maybe more depending on our financial situation. I was the oldest of 6 kids and loved having a big family.

  • Unfortunately, I think DD is our last.  I would love to have one more but we would be taking a huge risk.  The short version -- complications with my health (caused by pregnancy) risked DD's life and there is a good chance it would happen again.  I think we'll just leave it in Gods hands.  If He wants us to have another, I guess it will just happen.

  • One is good for me TYVM...  I know this may sound weird, but I look at LO and I can't imagine giving him less than 100% of my love and attention.  I know mothers are capable and do it all the time, but I just can't see it...so one and done for me!
  • 3 maybe 4 is my ideal but it will depend when we get there. We agreed to just see where we are financially after each child to see if more is feesable.
  • we just started talking about how we will need a bigger place when the next comes along...i see us having another while we are in HK and then a couple more if that is what is meant to be!
  • Everyone always makes me sound crazy for wanting 4.  It's good to see I'm not alone.  Now if I could just figure out a way to not be pregnant for the next 4 years...
  • DH and I are happy with our two and don't plan on having any more.
  • I have always said 3, DH says 2. we have agreed to discuss it again after #2 arrives.
