So, who is done, and who isn't?

pinktulips · August 2010

Just out of curiosity...

Are you done having kids? Are you planning for more? Are you undecided and seeing what happens when the time comes?

As I was going through my first tri I swore that this was my last baby. But, as usual, as soon as I am done with it, and happily in my third tri, I think I can do it again!

So, I guess I fall into the undecided catagory. I mean, I will already have 3 kids, what's one more, right.

scarletii · August 2010

done, but I wouldn't be upset if a 3 one came along

jcyahne · August 2010

While I love the concept of another, for practical purposes we are done.

Jas*sGirl · August 2010

We hope for another at some point, but the logistics of that might never come to fruition.

AnnetteWalker · August 2010

We are undecided at this time. We both would like a 2nd but finances and our age is the biggest concern. We are both older DH is 39 and I am 36.

LuvBug12683 · August 2010

I would love 1 or 2 more, since I am an only child and DH just has one brother, I've always wanted a "bigger" family, but we'll have to look at our finances, pay off some debt, get a bigger car and then we'll chat...I think DH would be more "on board" if we did those things first!

~Lynchie~ · August 2010

We will definitely be having 1 or 2..or 3 more. "When?" is the real question, and that, I have no idea!

KWPNJumper55 · August 2010

We are finished after this one, having 3 would mean buying a new car, a new house, financially I can't see that happening right now considering we just bought this house.

Vashon · August 2010

We will have at least 1 more, I would like 2 more (so that would make it 3 total), but DH is sort of stuck on having only 2 right now. He really wants a boy and we have 1 girl, so if our next is a girl I bet he would be convinced to try 1 more time for a boy.

McJen715 · August 2010

TJ says he is done and I am not (I'd like 1-2 more). I'm planning on getting an IUD put in and we can talk about it again in a few years after Madeline is 2-3. I'm hoping he loves being a dad so much that he'll want another.

He keeps reminding me that we only wanted one dog and then decided to get another and our second dog is a huge PITA. I keep telling him a baby is not a dog! Huh?

KameronLee98 · August 2010

We are definitley done after this one. DH and I have both always only wanted two kids.

This is us exactly. We'll see after #2

preston18 · August 2010

One and done! Mostly because of my age, health and the hit our finances would take, but also my mental well-being. Sometimes I?m sad about N not having a sibling and would like to do a big gap like my parents did (9 years) but having a baby at 42, having been diabetic for over 30years, would be dangerous and stupid and selfish.

I have a great kid and our family feels complete.

Now a puppy on the other hand?..

Nancy_Drew · August 2010

We always knew we wanted 2 maybe 3 kids and that we wanted the first 2 close in age, with a 3rd a bit later. Our age is now a factor, since we do think about our age come graduation/college etc....(we will be 41 and 36 next month) While I love being pregnant and would love to do it one more time, We are 80% sure that we are finished at this point. Maybe in 2-3 years we will reconsider. We want to be able to show our kids the world. Travel, explore the historical places, financially, this seems more doable with 2 kids.

DAWNNA76 · August 2010

done, and unless I get a new husband there is no chance of a 3rd

THIS! Except I am not pregnant! So we are done at 2 too!

CinemaGoddess · August 2010

DONE with having our own.

We're going to revisit adopting in a few years once the girls are older, in daycare and DH is done with school and back in the workforce.

BriAndSean · August 2010

When we got married, DH wanted 2 kids and I wanted at least 4. We agreed to have 2 kids, then wait 3 years before deciding if we wanted 2 more. Now that we have 2, DH says he definitely wants more. We're planning to try again in a couple years, but we would be ok with it if it happened sooner. So, we are definitely not done

doublem · August 2010

We are planning on trying for more after this one is born. I'd like 2 or 3 kids, DH wants 3-4. I figure we'll wait and see how life pans out for us once we get done with #2.

heather318 · August 2010

Our plan is for one more after this one. DH has always wanted 2, but lately he keeps acting like he only wants one and that we'll see how it goes, but I wouldn't be happy with just one. So we sat down the other night and talked about it and now we're back on the same page of wanting two.

Alli923 · August 2010

Definitely not done! We both want at least 2 more. We'll see about a 4th. I think it depends on how my body holds up over the next pregnancies since I had a pretty rough recovery from my c-section. Also, we'll see where our finances stand after #3.

If money and time were not a factor, I'd probably have 5.

breebree13 · August 2010

I think we are done. My husband has always said he wanted 2...I've always wanted 3. But I came to the realization the other night that by time we'd be ready to have another both kids would be out of diapers (hopefully!) and I won't want to go back, we'd be older and it will have been that much longer that my degree has been sitting useless. So at my next appointment I'll be telling my doctor to go ahead and tie me up while she's in there.

greenmtbride · August 2010

One more for us...not anytime soon though.

ThePolishHammer · August 2010

We still have about 20 weeks until our first. : ) But we both wanted 3 children, so I am definitely not done.

Seattle_JiLLn · August 2010

Done. Tubes tied. Done.

ttgcole · August 2010

I have just now come around to wanting another baby. We are probably going to try pretty soon. I am going to be 35 in Oct, and I don't want to be too much older.

That being said, Austin is now arching his back and screaming whenever I try to put him in his carseat, or high chair, so maybe one is fine Wink

cmcmillan · August 2010

I think we will have one more, but not for acouple years.

iHeartHimMore · August 2010

We definitely want one more, but that's it. (We're a 2 and done kind of family. Never let your kids out number you, I say.) My hope is that they'll be 3 years apart.

mwhite5283 · August 2010

We would have loved to have one more but our IVF luck had run out and we've been unsuccessful. Based on my age and our recent lack of success, we are calling it a day. We feel like we won the baby lottery with G, so we are eternally grateful for the one we have.

StellaZ · August 2010

I'm of the one-and-done camp...but I also believe in never say never. We're a bit older, and it's partly due to money and the other part due to time and patience and sanity. I just tell people we got a winner so why push it? Haha. But if an accident were to happen (knock-on-Mirena) we would move forward - along with a vasectomy LOL.

Bri&Shane_3/8/08 · August 2010

If it were up to me, we'd have 4 - but with age and $$, we will have 2 more and that's it.

Hopefully start trying for #2 in the spring.

MrsEditorJax · August 2010

We're going to be done at two, unless we have another boy, and then we may adopt a girl from India.

KNemo · August 2010

Alli923:

This is me, EXACTLY!!! We will probably have one or two more. DH was pretty dead set on two, then Max came. I think if #2 is half as wonderful as Max, I can convince him to have another!

MOHjen · August 2010

I'm undecided. I always said 2, but I might be done. Ask me again once this one stops waking up 5 times a night.

BethS2006 · August 2010

We are happy with 2 and adore them. Taking a see what happens the next 6 mo approach on #3. I do not want femara/iui again.

Ciaram22 · August 2010

We are really just starting. I'm not even pregnant yet. I know we want at least 2 maybe a third but we will see how I do with being pregnant. I have always wanted 3 but if there are underlying issues with having the first 2 I don't think I would go on and have a third.

gina000 · August 2010

I am pretty sure we are finished. One is a good number for us. With two big dogs and we like to camp and travel a lot ( roadtrips) the logistics with more than one baby just doesn't add up. So for now I am saying we are finished with one.

seattlestef · August 2010

Not done! We'd like to TTC for the next one within a year. I think we'll be done then, but who knows since I never thought I'd want 3!

rachel927 · August 2010

I always wanted 4 and H wants 2. This will be our first in Dec. and then we will probably wait 2 years and start TTC again. I think I have come to realize that 4 is not going to work out and I think 2 would be great!
