How Many Kids Do You Want?

elotus24 · September 2010

Thanks for the feedback regarding ages; here's another one...

As far as it is up to you, how many children would you &your DH/partner like to have??

We agree at least 3, but I would love it if we could have 5

jessababe85 · September 2010

Just one healthy happy baby! Most people frown upon only having one, but I'm an only child and I turned out okay!

kellibelli04 · September 2010

DH and I have discussed 3 but I would be happy with two. I once went to a psychic who told me that I would have a single and twins so maybe I'll get three for the price of two

Haha!

We always talked about having 2 but now that I'm pregnant with #2 I'm not so sure I want to be done yet. I'm going be 22 when this one is born and I'm just not sure if I want to tie myself down to "just 2". I have made comments to DH about having a third but he changes the subject lol.

AimesH · September 2010

This is the only one I plan on having. I have an amazing 4 yr old stepson that lives with us and then the one in my belly will make 2.

iamgrace · September 2010

One for sure (lol- a little late now...), maaayyybe two. We are 35, so i think if we have another it will be very soon after the first. PLus, I want my body back.

mollynpatrick · September 2010

Three

This is it for me!

ejlynch · September 2010

I would like 2-3 kids.

Tehilas Mom · September 2010

3 is the magic number for me.....

SpartanGirl · September 2010

DH and I both agree on 4 so this is our last baby if all goes well.

LesleyH11 · September 2010

Well lol I originally wanted 5 BUT NOW I only want 2

My husband and have discussed this and we ultimately decided on 3...So 3!

Beccaboo0713 · September 2010

2. I thought I wanted more but after the first one I knew I only wanted two.

Roxyroodle · September 2010

3-2 about 3 years apart

Twinkz · September 2010

We'd like 2 or 3. It'll depend on our money situation and how everything turns out with this LO and my meds and everything else.

kim1730 · September 2010

I always wanted a lot ... like maybe 4. Dh's max is 2. So we'll likely be done after this. Plus if I end up with pregnancy complications again, I think it will definitely be my last.

on_the_move · September 2010

We would like 4 in two groups of 2. So once this baby is born we plan on waiting 4 or 5 years for another one.

scherpha · September 2010

We will be great with one! I think that financially it is the best decision for us and it took some help to get this one - I am not up for the emotional toll again.

Artsywife07 · September 2010

2 max. DH and I have always agreed on this.

kwitt22 · September 2010

3-5, I would be ok with 3 or 4 but H really wants 5. So i guess we will see.

verona_1999 · September 2010

I think 2 for us, depending on how everything goes with this pregnancy. Then I would like to have another maybe when this little one is around 2. If money is okay and everything goes our way!

ErinInVA · September 2010

He had 2 from his first marriage. I had 1, so we already had 3 getting married. We are pregnant with our #4, but have both agreed to one more. I'm one of 5 and we both love children and big families, so 5 kiddos will be our number. Hopefully #5 will come sooner than later. We already have a 9 year old, so I don't want them to be too far apart.

MrsPakman06 · September 2010

We already have a boy and we discussed that if this one is a girl then we will be done. If it is another boy we will try ONE more time, making it three.

Ladydianna · September 2010

We always talked about 4 but I really want to be done by 35 (it took 2 years for this one!)so we'll see what happens!

This is what we did and this is #4 which means I am done after this one Stick out tongue

erikaautumn · September 2010

This will be our last!

chicsub · September 2010

Just two and I'm really looking forward to being done and having our family complete!

cfranklin1 · September 2010

We had talked about the possibility of 2 or 3 when we first got married, but our opinions have changed a lot. By the time we were read to TTC, we had decided that this will be the only one for us.

rosegarden9305 · September 2010

This may be our only one. We both come from larger families and would like a smaller experience for our child. However, there is a possibility that we would add another to the mix later.

hunnybutter · September 2010

I had a dream that we had three boys and one girl. I actually like that scenario!

misskris927 · September 2010

We def want two...and we'd love to have one of each. If it doesn't work out like that, then we may try for a third.

mrs.jenRN · September 2010

2 at the most.

jessicadw · September 2010

We're thrilled we will have one, but ideally we'd love 2; however, I'm 36, so we'll have to work fast if 2 is going to happen.

justme9 · September 2010

I think just 2. But, DH would be happy with 3. I say with that many, we need to go on zone defense.

katieh1023 · September 2010

We're just having the one. However, we may look into adopting another in a couple of years.

futuremrsofficer · September 2010

The plan was to have 2 and adopt a 3rd and possibly a 4th. Then we ended up with the triplets and it's a let's see how it is with the three little one's all at once. There's still a possibility we'll adopt a 4th.

PackerLove · September 2010

DH and I are both the middle children of 3, so we think 3 is a good number. We may stop at 2 if we have one of each, but neither of us want more than 3.

Mrs.Bunches · September 2010

Definitely 2, and once we get there, we'll discuss when/if a 3rd child is a good choice for our family. Not saying I wouldn't love a dozen kids, but we also have to be smart and not crank out as many as we can without knowing we can fully provide for them and give each one what they deserve, in our minds.

But shoot, if we win the lotto, I'll give the Duggars a run for their money Stick out tongue though we would also adopt as well.

hispenguin · September 2010

If it was up to us we would like two.

It will all depend on if my cycles start up on their own after I give birth or not.

about*that · September 2010

I really want 3. DH only wants 2, so we'll discuss after #2.

We are both the oldest of 3, and I like that and would like for our children to have the same thing.

mrssburnison · September 2010

I've always kinda wanted 3, but DH really only wants 2- he's a twin, so maybe we'll get lucky and get 3 for the price of 2 like PP said. But Looking at our house and income I think we'll be happily blessed with 2 because we don't really have room for 3. I was one of two, and DH was one of two, so we both never had to share a room, which i wouldn't want for my kids, but we'll wait and see what God has in store for us.

FemmeNat01 · September 2010

This is our last one. We were done after 2 (or so we thought..) so this is most definitely the last one!
