Hometown just an hour away in the Lehigh Valley.
How many of you have twins or multiples?
Nope! I had my fill of multiples being a nanny for quads. They are wonderful, but one Gwen is work enough for me!
How many kids do you have total?
One.
We had always talked two, but right now I'm thinking that one is plenty. We'll see how I feel in a few years, see if the baby yearn comes back. But right now I'm thrilled with just having Gwen. If we do try for another I want to have that same need that I felt when trying to get pregnant the first time.
Maybe I don't have a heightened sense of smell, but I've never smelled any vagina on my pants. -- TSD

Chicago. DW is from Montana
How many of you have twins or multiples?
Our fraternal girls were 3 months old yesterday
How many kids do you have total?
2 for now.. will probably try for at least one more so DW has a few of her own genes in the family.
We live just outside Boston. I have lived in this state much of my life except for nine years in Houston in childhood and college in CT. My wife is from up state NY, but has lived here since after college.
I am newly pregnant with our first. Still early enough to be on pins and needles for a few more weeks. We hope this pregnancy goes well and then we try again about two years from now. I secretly hope next time around we have twins.
We live in the 'burbs south of Boston. My wife is from PA, I'm from MA.
We a 8.5 month old son. He may be it, or we may try for another in a few years.

Where is everyone located?
San Diego California
How many kids do you have total?
None so far, planning on one or two.
We're in the NYC area, but I grew up in Minnesota and my DW grew up in Wisconsin.
No kids yet, so clearly no twins. I used to think I really wanted twins, and I was at first jealous when my sister found out she was having twins. After learning about the increased risks in pregnancy and seeing some of her struggles I'm a lot more nervous about the fact that fertility treatments increase our liklihood for twins. But I love my twin nephews like crazy!
We'd love to have two someday. I think if we had twins on our first try we'd probably still try for a third someday. But right now I'm just focused on wanting the first one!

Cautiously optimistic.
We are from the suburbs of Boston.
We each want to carry at least one (she: one, me: two) and we plan to adopt. So hopefully 4? My wife is the youngest of 9 and I am the second of 4. We are used to big families, we hope it works out that way for us.

We are in Wichita, KS. I am from Wichita, K is from Emporia, KS. We are both in college, hoping to get out east after grad programs.
How many of you have twins or multiples?
No babies, yet. I have had one past miscarriage, and have PCOS. Increased chance of twins with my fertility treatments.
How many kids do you have total?
None yet, unless 6 cats and 3 dogs count (they count for *something!). K does not want to carry, but wants me to carry as many as I can. I'm 34, so I hope to carry 1 or 2, and we would like to also adopt at least one. Not sure in what order that will happen!
