LOL I want three. Now that I'm pregnant, I also want the option to stop if we have one of each with the first two! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-165789 Wed, 23 May 2012 02:12:56 +0000 mommykim 165789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He wanted two, I wanted three. Lately, I've been thinking about four. I know, I'm crazy, especially since I work too. We'll see how it turns out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-165699 Tue, 22 May 2012 20:34:33 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 165699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup! we both wanted 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-165694 Tue, 22 May 2012 20:21:12 +0000 kodybear 165694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both want 3! But we'll probably reevaluate after we have the 1st </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-165629 Tue, 22 May 2012 19:09:23 +0000 oliviaoblivia 165629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have always agreed on four, but with the morning sickness I've had with #1, I might have to rethink that plan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-165559 Tue, 22 May 2012 17:58:10 +0000 Mrs. Pen 165559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We agreed at first and now we don't.</p> <p>I came from a family of 6 kids and he came from a family of 5, so we both wanted 4 kids before we got married. After we got married I started wanting more, like 6-8 and DH got all excited (he loves kids). Well after actually going through pregnant and birth I want 2, MAYBE 3. And DH is sooo sad. But he seems pretty confident he'll get 4 out of my hahaha.<br /> yeah. right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-165548 Tue, 22 May 2012 17:33:10 +0000 TheFixIts 165548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say 3, he votes 2. We've agreed to see how the first 2 go before making a final decision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-165547 Tue, 22 May 2012 17:28:51 +0000 yoursilverlining 165547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At first my husband only wanted 1...then he sort of said he might be ok with 2. I thought 2 would be a good number, but after actually being pregnant, I think 1 will be just fine. Besides, we would rather have 1 and continue our current lifestyle and be able to financially set her up rather than have more, and all of us have less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-165546 Tue, 22 May 2012 17:26:59 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 165546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am happy to agree with whatever Mr. Jacks wants. He's the primary caregiver, so what he says goes.</p> <p>We both pretty much agree with two unless there is an extenuating circumstance (such as an oops or our birthfamily has another full sibling that they are not able to care for-- both of which are highly unlikely)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-165536 Tue, 22 May 2012 16:48:34 +0000 daniellemybelle 165536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want 2 or 3 - DH definitely wants 3. I think it will depend after we have the first two and see what's like! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-165386 Tue, 22 May 2012 14:20:53 +0000 birdofafeather 165386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we agree, we want 3 just like each of our families! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-165055 Tue, 22 May 2012 08:28:06 +0000 LuLu Mom 165055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now we are planning on 2, with the option of a 3rd if we end up having two girls. DH would really like a son, I'm okay with this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-165047 Tue, 22 May 2012 08:07:17 +0000 mediagirl 165047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're planning on only having one. We would both LOVE to have two but we just don't think it will happen for us. It's okay, we're going to dote so much love on this one that she will never know she is an only child. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-165046 Tue, 22 May 2012 08:06:14 +0000 mediagirl 165046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: oh how exciting!!!! It's a toss of the dice if you'll have one or two now. How cool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-165043 Tue, 22 May 2012 07:53:07 +0000 Rock n Roll 165043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At first, we didn't know if we wanted any. Then, we decided we wanted two. Then, after giving birth with my first I wanted to be done (my recovery was horrible.) But, after having so much fun with her, I wanted more. We talked about two, but three if the first two were the same sex, but then we changed our minds and wanted three no matter what. Of course, our first two will be the same sex, so we would've come up with three either way. </p> <p>I think we agree just because we have always collaborated on family talk and didn't have any preconceived notions. Neither of us had a "dream family" planned out forever or anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-164998 Tue, 22 May 2012 06:09:13 +0000 loveisstrange 164998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We agree on 2. It open to change though. We may end up with just the one we have or we may try for a boy if we end up with 2 girls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-164983 Tue, 22 May 2012 02:38:18 +0000 SugarplumsMom 164983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we both want 2. But depending on how hard it is when the LO arrives, and how long it'll take to conceive again, we're open to one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-164979 Tue, 22 May 2012 00:03:07 +0000 Boogs 164979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After having 1, DH said he would love 3. I told him of he doesn't watch it we will stay with just the 1. He's a twin so I'm scared of getting pregnant with twins the second time around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-164965 Mon, 21 May 2012 23:27:15 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 164965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much. We've agreed on at least 3. I would prefer 4, and DH has actually agreed that if by some weird streak we have 4 boys, we should adopt a girl...hehe.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-164961 Mon, 21 May 2012 23:21:49 +0000 sandy 164961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Early on in my pregnancy i said I was only going to have 1 kid and adopt the rest bc the all day nausea was getting to me. When it finally ended I had a really easy time for the rest of my pregnancy. </p> <p>When I went into labor I screamed at my husband "we are only having 1 kid and I mean it"...after I got the epidural I told him I didn't mean it. </p> <p>LO is 6 months now and we definitley plan on having at least one more. If I was younger I think we would go for 3 kids but we'll probably stop with 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-164830 Mon, 21 May 2012 19:54:03 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 164830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I compromised before we got engaged. It was a big deal to him to have kids in the first place and he was only comfortable with one. I've always wanted 2, but it's not a deal-breaker or anything. So I agreed to 1 - and we got engaged and married...</p> <p>But now...since we had to do IVF; I'll find out next week whether we're expecting 1 or 2! It'll be my one and only chance for the second! : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-164726 Mon, 21 May 2012 17:54:36 +0000 GrapeCrush 164726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want 3 DH wants 2...some days with LO(only 3 weeks) we are fine with an only child lol. But I know I would really like him to have a sibling. I did ok being pregnant and could *probably* handle being pregnant 2 more times, but can realistically see us stopping at 2(maybe twins go around?! Lol) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-164725 Mon, 21 May 2012 17:53:25 +0000 banana 164725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both agreed on 2! So glad we're on the same page on that one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-164692 Mon, 21 May 2012 17:26:56 +0000 chopsuey 164692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES. We both wanted 3 at first. Now we're happy with 2! Still open to having 3 though :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-164690 Mon, 21 May 2012 17:26:28 +0000 WALLAROO 164690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are thinking 1 and done. But who knows what we will think in the future. We are just starting out TTC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-164655 Mon, 21 May 2012 16:44:24 +0000 Alivoo01 164655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! We agreed one boy and one girl would be ideal. However, if we doubled up, we'd try for a third. That's it though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-164626 Mon, 21 May 2012 16:21:56 +0000 Honeybee 164626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've always agreed on 3; we might go for 4, but it would depend a lot on how 3 goes. :) I think I could convince my husband to have 4, but he's definitely less enthusiastic than I am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-163776 Sun, 20 May 2012 08:20:18 +0000 Minnie_Girl 163776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're not set on a number and are happy to see how many we end up with. But we agree that threeish sounds good. </p> <p>I was one of five growing up and we didn't have much money. I would miss my siblings far more than extra money for clothes or college... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-163770 Sun, 20 May 2012 08:10:30 +0000 heffalump 163770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want 3, DH wants 2. But he's open to 3 if he suddenly gets a huge promotion and we could afford it. I'm thinking he knows that's never going to happen, which is why he's telling me that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-on-the-number-of-kids-you-want-to-have#post-163768 Sun, 20 May 2012 08:07:43 +0000 WiLLoWtReE 163768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is nuts. Hes the oldest of six siblings so he says he wants at least six. Not happening! Haha. I could see possibly having 4, I just can't fathom being pregnant 3 more times. </p>
