How many LO's will you have?
Linzstyle

I know this all depends on "how things go" the first time-or second time for some. But I'm just curious what everyone's thoughts were.
1. How many LO's do you want?
2. Are you and DH on the same page?
3. Do you have an age where even if you haven't hit your ideal number, you'll be "done" anyways?
4. How far apart do you plan on spacing LO's?
Me? I'd love 3, but will be 30 before our first is born. So, I'm unsure how long we'll try. We'll for sure have 2-if the first goes accordingly. 
DH would like the same.
My thought is that we would start "trying" again after LO is 1.

Re: How many LO's will you have?
1. How many LO's do you want? Two
2. Are you and DH on the same page? Yep!!
3. Do you have an age where even if you haven't hit your ideal number, you'll be "done" anyways? DH wants to be done by the time he is 35 . . . he'll be 31 when the first LO is born . . .
4. How far apart do you plan on spacing LO's? We plan to pull the goalie when the currently baking LO is two . . . so we're looking at about 3 years apart.
We both want 2, as long as this first one doesn't kill us.
Currently we plan to start trying as soon as this one is 1. If timing works out perfectly I'll be very late 34, or just past 35 when the 2nd is born.
1. How many LO's do you want? 2 or 3
2. Are you and DH on the same page? Yes, he says he wants 2 or 3, but he is also more "lets see how it goes with the first one".
3. Do you have an age where even if you haven't hit your ideal number, you'll be "done" anyways? I will be 32 when this first one is born. At this time I plan to stop trying around 35-36.
4. How far apart do you plan on spacing LO's? Since I would like 2, maybe 3 and only have 3-4 years between this LO and my "cut-off point", I figure we will use protection for about 6 months after this LO and then let what happens happen. It took us 6 months to get pregnant with this LO, so if it took us another 6 months, I think that would be perfect timing for #2.1. How many LO's do you want?

I want 2 but will seriously consider just one if this one is a boy. Also we arent sure if we can have another.
DH wants two and if those arent a boy we are trying again haha gotta have our boy!
oh yea Im 23 now so by 27 I think because DH will be 30
At least a year of course no more then 3 years. I change my mind daily lol
BFP 1/4/2014 EDD September 14 2014
1. How many LO's do you want? 2 or 3
2. Are you and DH on the same page? Yes.
3. Do you have an age where even if you haven't hit your ideal number, you'll be "done" anyways? I would at least like to have 2 kids before I'm 30. I turned 25 the day after I found out I was pregnant with this baby boy.
4. How far apart do you plan on spacing LO's? About a year or two apart so that they are close.
1. How many LO's do you want? Not sure yet...I always wanted 2, but after the m/c and now the GD - I'm not sure.
2. Are you and DH on the same page? DH only wants 1...right now. I guess we will both see how we feel after LO arrives.
3. Do you have an age where even if you haven't hit your ideal number, you'll be "done" anyways? I think 35...I will be 30 when LO is born and I really never wanted to be "this old" having #1 to begin with.
4. How far apart do you plan on spacing LO's? 3 or 4 years - depends on where I'm working...if I'm still getting tremendous daycare discounts.
1. How many LO's do you want? DH is pretty much set on 2, which is this baby for us. I say this now, but maybe I wouldn't mind having 3...
2. Are you and DH on the same page? More or less...
3. Do you have an age where even if you haven't hit your ideal number, you'll be "done" anyways? DH will be 32 when this baby is born and I will be 28. So I think that is good for now.
4. How far apart do you plan on spacing LO's? We originally wanted 2.5 years apart, but it took longer than expected to get pregnant this time around, so they will be exactly 3 years apart, DS's B-day is my EDD.
1. Right now I'm thinking 3, but if we made more money probably 4 or 5
2. Yes
3. I'm pretty young right now, just turned 20, and already growing #2
so I have a lot of time to work on the others.
4. When this baby gets here we will have an 18 month old and a newborn. Ideally we would like to wait until #1 is 4.5 years old and #2 is 3 years old, which would be in 3 years and I would still only be 23 or 24 when #3 got here. So we might wait until they are a little older if we can.

After 2 1/2 years TTC, 3 IUI's, endo, and a lap, a surprise BFP brought us Alexandra Marie!
1. How many LO's do you want? At Least one more, if I can. But as many as God gives me. I am NEVER taking birth control again. Never. But I'm 38, so I don't have too many more chances.
2. Are you and DH on the same page? Kind of. He only wants two, really. But he's decided the same as me- Just let it roll and see what happens.
3. Do you have an age where even if you haven't hit your ideal number, you'll be "done" anyways? Nope. Unless I have twins next time.
4. How far apart do you plan on spacing LO's? I never took BC after DS and he just turned 3 when I got pregnant. I didn't even get AF back for a YEAR after. I am hoping for another closer to two years, not 3.1. How many LO's do you want? 2 so this one is it as long as all goes well
2. Are you and DH on the same page? yes thank goodness, he wanted another before I was ready but we are on the same page now
3. Do you have an age where even if you haven't hit your ideal number, you'll be "done" anyways? I figured 35 would be my limit, but since I'm not yet 30, I'm glad I will be done before then.
4. How far apart do you plan on spacing LO's? This is #2 for us so our DS will be 4 months shy of 4 years old when this baby is born - so over 3 1/2 years age difference which I think will be perfect for us. I'm glad DS isn't still in the "baby" phase and can be more involved and understand more - I think it will work out perfect for our family.
1. How many LO's do you want?
I would like to have 4, I am the oldest of 4 and loved it. We already have 1, little boy he just turned 5.
2. Are you and DH on the same page?
DH would like 3, however he is good with 4 because he says I always win anyway.
3. Do you have an age where even if you haven't hit your ideal number, you'll be "done" anyways?
I would like to be done having kids by the time I am 30. I am sure being that I am 22 now it won't be a problem.
4. How far apart do you plan on spacing LO's?
Our son is now 5, which in my opinion is too big of a difference. So I would like the next 3 to be with-in 2-3 years of each other.
1. I want 3.
2. DH only want 2, but has reluctantly agreed to adopting the last one.
3. I would love to be done by the time I'm 32.
4. I want my LOs 2 yrs apart. we're going to try at 18 months.
1. How many LO's do you want? 3-4, we'll see
2. Are you and DH on the same page? yes
3. Do you have an age where even if you haven't hit your ideal number, you'll be "done" anyways? Probably by 40
4. How far apart do you plan on spacing LO's? About 2 years, at least that's the plan for now!
1. How many LO's do you want? It's always been 2 or 3, but sine we found out that we have blood "issues" and will with every pregnancy, I'd say 2 is more likely, God-willing.
2. Are you and DH on the same page? Yup!
3. Do you have an age where even if you haven't hit your ideal number, you'll be "done" anyways? No specific age... but early 30s sometime. We'll see how it all pans out. I'm 27 now.
4. How far apart do you plan on spacing LO's? Probably about 2 years apart
1. How many LO's do you want? 2 for sure, but I could work with 3 or 4.
2. Are you and DH on the same page? No! He wants a big family...like 5 or more. He's crazy.
3. Do you have an age where even if you haven't hit your ideal number, you'll be "done" anyways? Somewhere in between 35 and 40.
4. How far apart do you plan on spacing LO's? I'm thinking about 2-3 years apart.

1. How many LO's do you want? Four children, God-willing.
2. Are you and DH on the same page? No, he would like a maximum of 3.
3. Do you have an age where even if you haven't hit your ideal number, you'll be "done" anyways? I would like to be finished at 25. I am 22 now, had DS at 20. My mother was a young mom and her children will all be grown at 45. I'd like to have that, too.
4. How far apart do you plan on spacing LO's? 1 1/2-2 1/2 years apart.

1. How many LO's do you want? 2-3
2. Are you and DH on the same page? He wants 2 period the end.
3. Do you have an age where even if you haven't hit your ideal number, you'll be "done" anyways? We will have 2 after i'm 29. wanted to be done by 30, so if this is a boy we made it because i won't consider trying for more. If it's a girl then we'll see...
4. How far apart do you plan on spacing LO's? My little ones will be 2 years and 2 months apart. We wanted them close but not on top of each other.
# LOs: 2; maybe 3
Same Page? Yes
Age: Maybe 35? We're already working on 2 and I'm only 25 (26 when LO is born)
Spacing: The first two are going to be 2.5 years apart. If we have a third, we want to adopt from China, so it'll be a while before we even meet their requirements.
