    I think 2, but just thinking about having this first one makes me panic, so... we'll see :)

     

    @justabean3 Sorry, I can't help but ask.  Why the screen name change?

    Well I thought I wanted 4 Since I Am One Of 3 and that it needed to be evened out.

    I loved being the only girl! I just loved having siblings and I would feel bad if my kids didn't have the same chaos as I did!

    But DH is 1 of 2 so he wants two.

    If I had started younger I may have been open to 4 but unless I have twins on the next go round we having 2.

    Before kids, I always said 4.  Now with 2 kids already, I think this 3rd one might be it.

    We are planning for 3 but will reevaluate after we have 2 and see how we feel. I'm open to a 4th but DH isn't really.

    We had always said 3-4 kids with me feeling strongly about the 4th, however, I think after 4+ years of trying for the 1st and with how our lives have grown and our business has grown, we will be finished after 2.

    I'd like 4. I think we are going to try to have 3 total, though, due to financial reasons and if I have a c/s with this pregnancy. My doctor recommends not having more than 3 c sections.

    To be honest I don't know.  We've gone a while now with it just being us and careers so the thought of more than 2 scares me.  But ask me again in a year and I might say 3 or more! ;)

    I think 4 too. I already have one and the thought of this being my last pregnancy makes me feel quite sad. You never know maybe we will have more than 2 though.

    Based off the melodramatic temper tantrum that spanned about an hour this morning from a certain little girl who is two and REALLY living up to it.  I'd say one kid is ideal.

    Just kidding.  But I think we will pump the breaks at 2 kids.  Before I had my daughter I had always wanted 4.  But now that I've had one there is just no way I could do 4.

    Ideally, two. One boy, one girl, just because I want to experience both. So, this is my first baby, and thus, no pressure either way. But. Next baby? Insane pressure.

    If we end up with 2 of one sex, 3 is our limit should we think about trying for a girl/boy at that time. No more than 3.

    Before kids it was 2...now I sort of want 3 but DH is set on 2.  If this one is a girl I may convince him to have a third...but that is a very slim possibility!

    And no, I wouldn't have a third JUST to try for a boy.

    Oh my gosh!! I am so scared to have two kids now!! If I wasn't already stressed thinking about it...now I really am!
    But in a perfect world where I would have an unlimited amount of money, my BFF would live down the street, I would be a stay a home mom and have a nanny (or nannies). I would have 4.

    For whatever reason I have always thought four sounded like a good number.  We will take it one at a time though.  So at least two...or three...maybe four.

    I've always wanted 4. DH always wanted 2. When we had the 2 boys, DH said he was good with having another (he's hoping for a daddy's girl). As far as a 4th, we will see how we deal with 3 first :)
