How many babies?

LorMor · April 2013

Do you have or plan on having?

I've got one sibling and my DH is also one of two, and I've always just assumed we'll have two. And then that leads me to assume that everyone just wants two. Most of my friends also want/have two.

So I'm always surprised when I see people having or wanting 3 or more.

Quick poll, how many children do you have/want?

candaceleigh21 · April 2013

We are one and done. For sure.

AnotherPreggo · April 2013

Ideally would love to have 4, but we will have to see how the money situation is.

nealbl · April 2013

I want three or four but Dh is pretty happy with two. No final decisions will be made for about 5 years. We both agreed in 5 years we will either decide to have 1 more or Dh get fixed.

hilsy85 · April 2013

Three would be ideal. However, of course a lot depends on finances, living situation, ability to conceive, etc...

266psyche · April 2013

I am one of three and DH is one of two. It doesn't look like any of our siblings will marry. We would like two.

legalbeagle1 · April 2013

Likely one and done. I think we'll really decide when L is three years old. I'm the oldest of two and DH is the youngest of two.

kross605 · April 2013

We're most likely done with 2.

However, there are times when I wonder if I only feel that way because LO2 is still so young and my mind may change as she gets older and actually sleeps at night!

Prior to having DD1, DH and I a

Hubby and I are both the oldest of 3. I think We will only have 2 but who knows We may go for 3 ...I am just loving this mommy thing

CLLDLL · April 2013

We always said 2 when we were dating/newly married. Then DS1 came along. He was a tough baby, and I don't think we really understood how hard parenting was going to be. So by the time he was 18 months old we'd decide he was going to b

clrgrdfrk · April 2013

As of right now, likely one and done. We have always said two but just depends on life. Of we do have another it would hopefully be when dd is 34.

Dh was an only child and was adopted, and I was third out of four. Most days I wonder how my m

LauLauCC08 · April 2013

We have 2 now, one boy and one girl. I would love to have another baby. Most of our friends have either 2 or 3.

lady dixneuf · April 2013

I have no idea.

Definitely no more than 3. LIke others said, it depends on finances, etc.

H also has a 7 year old daughter so it's one of these weird things where he has 2 kids and I have 1 (though of course I consider her my child too- jus

numberonemama · April 2013

We were one and done with DS then six years later we got our sweet baby girl! We are done and am trying to get DH to get his V like he promised.

We come from family's with 3 & 4 kids. DH always had wanted 3 kids but t

Caseyk1127 · April 2013

We were 1 and done then DD made a surprise visit :-)

Now we are 300% sure that we are 2 and done!

lady dixneuf · April 2013

I also want to add one of the biggest lessons I've learned in life-

you can have ideas but good luck actually planning this stuff!

hamiltks10 · April 2013

We have DS and another on the way. We're shooting for 3.

mamathefox · April 2013

We want a few more - maybe 4 or 5...I am almost 31 so we need to get the ball rolling! :-D

jenmccon · April 2013

We have 3 now. We are thinking about maybe 1 more.

cardiganmom · April 2013

I want four, but my husband only wants two, so we'll see. It'll mostly depend on finances.

alyson686 · April 2013

We have two now, and DH has a 7 yo daughter though we only see her about once a month for various reasons. We definitely plan to have one more, and then we'll see. I always assumed I'd have just two because I'm one of two, and it just seemed like the no

talandree · April 2013

We want two. I had a younger sister and we only had a three year age gap between us and it was great to have someone to play with.

Starry Again · April 2013

2-3. I originally thought 2, DH wanted 3, but I am slowly coming around to the idea of 3... maybe.... we are taking it one child at a time and are not going to start TTC #2 until at least a year from now.

watkinae · April 2013

We're probably 2 and done. I'm not even thinking about another until LO is sleeping through the night. Ideally I'd like to wait until LO was in school but age isn't exactly on my side.

RayT1 · April 2013

We are planning on two, but if baby #2 is an angel (AKA, a lot easier then DS was/is ) we will probably have a third. But, I'm not even going to think about the next one for at least a year from now!

doggylovr · April 2013

we are done, we have a boy and a girl. i always wanted 3 but we are each one of two. My mom and his mom are middle children so they both urge either 2 or 4. 4 sounds like a lot to me and i have also gone m/c baby m/c baby so I d

morrkim · April 2013

Ideally I want 2 boys and 2 girls. My husband wants 2. 1 boy and 1 girl. We both came from families of 3 kids of 2 boys & 1 girl. I always wanted a sister so I want my daughter to have a sister, but I also want a boy. My

Baby_Bunny_Hopeful · April 2013

I want 4... DH would be happy to stop now... but we've decided on one more. I'm HOPING to convince him for 4, but it's highly doubtful!!

twofishes1984 · April 2013

Originally wanted four. Then decided one since overpopulation/environment issues. Then hubby convinced me to two since he really wanted two. Then I got diagnosed with lupus during pregnancy and had a horrendous pregnancy, labor, birth, and months after...
