I'd like to have three...he has this bizarre theory that if you have three kids one of them is likely to be a screw-up so he only wants two (neither of our families have a screw-up, incidentally; I have NO idea where he came up with this idea). We did agree that if we had two of the same sex we'd try one more time though, so if baby #2 is also a girl, I get my three. I was afraid if we had two boys first he might renege on that agreement, so I was a very happy camper after our anatomy scan. erinpye on "Do you want a family size the same or different than the one you grew up in?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-a-family-size-the-same-or-different-than-the-one-you-grew-up-in/page/2#post-2000597 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 03:05:58 +0000 erinpye 2000597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ The same- I'm one of 2, and have 2.
