So just out of curiosity how many kids does everyone have and how many does everyone want? I know we have a lot of FTMs but we also have some moms that have a few older kids, no?
Along with DS, I have 3 stepchildren. We don't have them full time but we have most weekends. If I didn't have stepchildren, I'd probably want one more but 5 kids is a bit much!
We have one right now. If we have another boy next we will be done at two because I don't think I could handle three boys. If we have a girl next we might try for a third.
So far, only 1. We want at least 1 more. We're going to TTC as soon as AF comes back; we're not preventing, but no signs the babymaking factory is open yet.
If I had unlimited time, money and energy I would have 100 but as I have very little of all three of those things I believe that Sam and Vivi will be our only two. Good thing I got such amazing babies on the first try!

I would love three more, spaced pretty well out apart. SO only wants one more. I definitely want an even number and I'll admit, if the next LO were to be a girl, I'd be alright with only 2.
One for now, and probably just one permanently although we have a few years to decide.
we can just do more for one that we could for more and feel its irresponsible for us to have more. at least until we're in a better financial position (made less last year together than DH made on his own a few years ago)

We have: 1. In the beginning DH thought 2 so I always joked we'd have a surprise 3rd that wouldn't be a surprise to me lol but now that we have Bella, he's loving being a family man even more. He is totally on board with 3.. now he keeps hinting towards having 4 or 5! I'd be ok with 3 or 4. I don't know about 5.
We have one and we would like one more. I always imagined our family being 4 of us. If for some reason we could not have another, I would be okay with just the 3 of us.
This is us exactly! I know I would never regret having one more but might regret not having another. But if we can't and stay a family if three I'm ok with that too! I live ds so much I just can't wait to share all of life with him and dh.
Ideally we would like one more to be a family of 4. However IF does funny things to family size. We might not have another successful IVF cycle or we could end up with 3 children if the two embryos we transfer implant and grow into take home babies.
TTC since 3-08
IVF # 1 Dec 2011 BFP
DD born at 31 weeks 6-24-12
We just have the one nugget right now, but we would like to have one more. I always joke that if we accidentally had a third I would try for a 4th because I like even numbers, but the accidental third would definitely NOT happen!
We only have the one baby Aggie right now, and at first I was sure that we were one and done. Now that she's passed the scary crying all the time newborn phase, and is actually a lot of fun, we definitely want one more. Absolutely no more than that, though. I don't want to be outnumbered.
We just have Griffin and we definitely want more. I am 80% sure we will only have two. We will TTC sometime between November-July i'm just not sure when yet. Leaning more towards next Spring.
