We had planned on 2, maaaaaaaaybe 3, but after LO, we are one and done. He's an amazing kiddo and we feel so blessed, but parenting is much harder than we ever could've imagined. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2018293 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 13:43:55 +0000 Anya 2018293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but not to great degrees. I fluctuate between wanting one and two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2018286 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 13:38:52 +0000 loveisstrange 2018286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. lol. Mine change depending on what day you ask.</p> <p>I was undecided if I ever wanted any before getting pregnant. Now that we have one, I waver between one and done, and two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2018282 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 13:34:37 +0000 fairy 2018282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Growing up I was sure I wanted NO kids, and then I became more open to the idea in late college or so until it became full on baby fever a couple of months before getting pregnant with my daughter. My husband &amp; I always talked about 2 kids, but since my daughter was born, we flip flop ALL the time between 1 and 2. The decision is weighing hard on me right now because we want to ttc this year if we decide on 2. We discussed it for a few hours last night and never came up with a decision! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2017041 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 14:27:11 +0000 BandDmommy 2017041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 has always been the plan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2017030 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 14:23:49 +0000 psw27 2017030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ellewoods84: @tanjowen yup, this. Its all about how much sleep I've gotten... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2017024 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 14:19:54 +0000 cascademom 2017024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. Both DH and I come from families of 2 kids. After LO, the timeline of the next one changed because of various issues. I'm pregnant with our second and last one right now. We're done at two and through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2016780 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 11:52:50 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2016780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of change! Before we started TTC (and during the first several months) I wanted at least 2, maybe 3. Then almost 2 years and 2 m/cs later, it was one and we'll see how it goes. During the first several weeks, I couldn't imagine ever having a newborn again. Now I'm pretty sure I want DS to have a sibling at some point, but I want to wait until he is at least in preschool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2016697 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 11:16:51 +0000 wrkbrk 2016697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep - went from 0 to 1 in the last year. :) We are definitely set at 1! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2016613 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 10:34:34 +0000 jetsa 2016613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always said 2 but almost changed my mind to 1 when LO was about a year then I got a surprise positive :silly: and DH has always said 1. He'll still tell you he would've thought that ideal but he's an only and loved it, I think he'll grow to love 2 when little miss arrives. We are DONE at 2, like surgically done hahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2016597 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 10:27:57 +0000 PurplePumps 2016597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to want 3 or 4 since I grew up as 1 of 4 and thought that was a fun number of kids. But then as I got older, I think 2 now since I'd be 40+ by the time I have a 3rd at this rate. Though at this point, I'd be happy if I could even just have 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2016510 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 09:32:06 +0000 LuLu Mom 2016510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went from wanting 3 to being pretty sure I'm good with 2. DH is still more willing to have 3, but I'm hoping after he sees how much work 2 is he will come to my side ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2016503 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 09:28:48 +0000 NovBaby1112 2016503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We wanted 4 (!) before LO, but when she was born and for the first maybe 1 year, I couldn't imagine having another. Then sometime between 18 months and 2 years I started getting baby fever and knew I wanted another, just not sure when. Now, we def want 2, maybe 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2016487 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 09:17:57 +0000 ellewoods84 2016487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tanjowen: hahaha this is so me. We all get sleep, I'm all oh yeah we can definitely have another. A couple of bad nights, I tell my husband never ever ever again. So as of now....one and done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2016446 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 08:40:05 +0000 snowjewelz 2016446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always been pretty much 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2016438 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 08:30:38 +0000 ineebee 2016438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We wanted to have 2 kids before 35, but because TTC#1 took much longer than I thought, I'll be very happy with 1, though I'd still like to make #2 work out if possible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2016422 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 08:12:33 +0000 ChitownRo 2016422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We still want 3 but our timeline has changed a little due to sibling/friend weddings and my desire to have maternity leave in the summer at least once </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2016037 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 20:59:03 +0000 Mae 2016037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I've never had a plan. I've never decided what I want. lol.

DH is the same and after 1 LO we're on the same page still. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2015977 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 20:29:54 +0000 mrsjyw 2015977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went from wanting a huge family to just two and through. Now I'm back in the maybe three camp. </p> <p>Dh has never wavered, he still wants four buy understands the two maybe three plan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2015974 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 20:28:27 +0000 petunia354 2015974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go between wanting 3 and being done with the one we currently have! Lol. Just depends on severity of tantrums on any given day and how well I can tamp down my fears about another difficult pregnancy and birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2015904 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 19:46:53 +0000 yellowbird 2015904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine change daily based on the severity of tantrums. O.m.g. the tantrums!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2015903 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 19:46:50 +0000 Torchwood 2015903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was younger I wanted a bunch. Growing up enough to realize the financial realities of that, plus nannying so that I realized just how hard it would be, made me decide no way on that. DH wants just one, but is okay with two (he's one of four, plus two stepbrothers for a while). I'm an only child, so I still want at least two. But that's it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2015900 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 19:45:21 +0000 Tanjowen 2015900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine changes daily based on the amount of sleep LO lets me get each night :silly: . Right now we are definitely having one, ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2015882 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 19:24:44 +0000 lawbee11 2015882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wavered a lot before LO was born and immediately after she was born, but not anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2015879 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 19:24:00 +0000 autumnlove 2015879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We wanted 2 but our number changed to 3 after we became parents. I would love 4 but I think DH wants to stop at 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2015877 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 19:22:27 +0000 coopsmama 2015877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Daily? Haha. No, but seriously - I always knew I wanted two and I think DH would say the same. But kids are a lot of work and ours are still so little that in the bad moments we only want two but in the good moments we want 4 or 5. It's just so variable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2015874 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 19:20:35 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2015874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always two for sure, but we waver between two or three depending on how the kids are. Right now we're firmly in the two and through camp. I think we're done, but not 100% sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-family-plans-frequently-change#post-2015868 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 19:18:30 +0000 Greentea 2015868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes I think I want 3, sometimes just one! Two, most of the time. </p>
