The problem is finances, mainly daycare. So we may be done. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2619982 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 10:36:01 +0000 MrsRcCar 2619982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am currently pregnant with number 3. DH is on the fence about a 4th. I am not. I want another after this but we agreed to talk more about it after this baby turns one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2619837 Sun, 11 Sep 2016 22:01:02 +0000 Iced Tea 2619837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are TTC number 2. We agree that we will likely be satisfied with two. </p> <p>If we had unlimited time and money, my dream would be 4, for sure. With a large age gap between the 2nd and 3rd, kind of two sets of two. Maybe if our business really takes off we could make it happen. The bigger constraint might actually be our age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2619682 Sun, 11 Sep 2016 18:07:52 +0000 ModernDayJibarita 2619682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure 😳</p> <p>We were solidly one and done before having the baby but once he arrived I think something switched. I've gone from wanting one to wanting minimum of 3 and now my husband really wants to experience having a girl too. </p> <p>He's 4 months old and I already miss the newborn stage. I loved being pregnant, childbirth and the all consuming nature of newbornhood so I can't imagine never going though it again. </p> <p>If we do decide to have more, we'd like them 3-4 years apart so we can stretch out the baby years. We've tabled the discussion for now and will reassess when DS turns 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2619647 Sun, 11 Sep 2016 16:23:31 +0000 JCCovi 2619647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two and for some reason I feel like our options are 2 or 4, because I've always had a thing for even numbers and no one feeling left out.</p> <p>I'm 50/50 about having more, but know I'm not ready yet. DH is 75% done. The worst part is not having a plan, because I think I could make peace with either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2619641 Sun, 11 Sep 2016 15:51:08 +0000 matador84 2619641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We keep considering having one or two more but it's such a complete lifestyle change. We have enough space in our home, but would need one more larger vehicle. Also I would probably no longer work because 3 in child care wouldn't make financial sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2619543 Sun, 11 Sep 2016 08:31:10 +0000 NurseDMB 2619543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: Yes!

If we did have a third, I would want a bigger gap next time (3-4 years) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2619165 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 22:27:33 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2619165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I agree.

It means a lot :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2618058 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 14:35:33 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2618058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know. I am only 21 weeks pregnant with #2. I wanted a bigger family, but I only felt really good at about 18 weeks. I don't know if I can handles another pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2617886 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 12:04:17 +0000 snowjewelz 2617886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: our 2nd girl is still baking in here and people already ask if we'd try for a 3rd boy :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2617884 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 12:03:27 +0000 snowjewelz 2617884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugsmama: I got pregnant earlier than we planned to try, so I think accident/surprise is the way to go, haha. But in all seriousness, I think while on paper, we both want 1, and we're ready for 2. DH def has a harder time accepting the reality... And he's the one that's technically benefits from having them closer since he's 7 yrs older than me and he knows it's just gonna get more exhausting the longer we wait. </p> <p>I think it's super important to think long term too... All this infant/toddler stuff won't last forever. I hope he comes around soon :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2617883 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 12:02:41 +0000 CakeLady 2617883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't know. Our DS is 2 and we definitely aren't ready for another and aren't sure if we want a second, but we haven't ruled it out yet either. Given a number of different factors a 4 year age gap would be our preference anyway so we have some time to sort it out I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2617882 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 12:01:20 +0000 mrsrain 2617882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH got a vasectomy in June, and I keep telling people that we will adopt if we decide we want another child. But, honestly, our family feels complete. Two and through! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2617880 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 11:59:51 +0000 snowjewelz 2617880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsB2012: what do you think happened that suddenly made you both want 1 more? I hope we won't feel that way, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2617861 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 11:48:28 +0000 yin 2617861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are happy with our two kids and feel that our family is complete. Now only if other people would stop asking us to try for a girl. It's kind of insulting that they think our family can only be complete if we have a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2617795 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 11:03:58 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2617795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were 99.999% sure that we were done. But just recently we've been having brief flashes of 'what if?'<br /> However, I really don't know if my body can handle another pregnancy- it was really rough on me. Plus, 3 kids means a whole bunch of changes (bigger cars, bigger house, more daycare, etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2617701 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 09:07:24 +0000 RainbowMom 2617701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has always been 100% one and done. I thought I might like 2, but I'm surprised how complete our family feels with our one and only. Everyone said I'd change my mind when he was around 6 months old. Well, he'll be 7 months old in a couple of days. He's completely easy and adorable...and I still don't want another. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2617290 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 13:51:14 +0000 LulaBee 2617290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is 100% done. I guess I am too... but if I thought my body could handle another pregnancy, I might not be done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2617271 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 13:27:38 +0000 bushelandapeck 2617271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 2 and I feel pretty much done. DH, on the other hand, is 100% that he would like a 3rd. He's 1 of 3 and I'm 1 of 2, so that's probably where we are both coming from. I do the majority of the childcare so I'm just not sure I'm up for having another. I told him we could talk more about it once DD turns 2 next month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2617175 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 11:37:27 +0000 erwoo 2617175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have two boys and done. If I was younger by 5 years I wouldn't have minded a third 2 years ago. :) </p> <p>@T.H.O.U.: I've been MIA for a while, but you had a third? Congrats! I read elsewhere and then couldn't find that thread again. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2617165 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 11:16:29 +0000 MrsBrewer 2617165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope definitely not complete! We are TTC#2 right now, and I would love to have 4 total. But we might be done after 2. Not sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2617161 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 11:12:50 +0000 ocean81 2617161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family doesn't feel "done" and both DH and I agree about that. I would like 2 more and he pretty much goes along with what I say :) That being said, my family doesn't feel incomplete with "just" my daughter. After a loss a couple months ago, I know how unpredictable and precious a healthy pregnancy/baby is, so I feel really blessed to have my beautiful, healthy daughter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2617157 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 11:07:29 +0000 dc yoga bee 2617157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre LO, I wanted two, DH wanted to be one and done. Then with the reality of hyperemesis, induced early with pre-eclampsia, and a colicky and acid reflux baby we both were one and done.</p> <p> Then I started picturing our family down the road, and I want three! I told DH this is going to sound totally crazy, but I could see us with three kids! He said he's not totally against the idea, it's just completely different than what he imagined. I don't think we would regret having a larger family, and we both have steady jobs with good income, so I don't think our lifestyle would take a big hit. And we just bought a third row suv to have more space with our one child- true American style lol. He would like our kids two years apart, but I would prefer 2.5-3.5 years apart. </p> <p>We have compromised by loosely TTC #2 starting at 14 months, but it just so happens I'm having ovulation issues, so it's out of our hands regardless. I'm enjoying the break from breastfeeding, and getting a little bit of sleep. I know we missed ovulation this month. But, I just started a pure barre challenge at the new studio that opened up right by our house! We will pick up TTC #2 around the holidays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2617128 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 10:18:04 +0000 PinkElephant 2617128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always said 2-3, and could have been happy with two. DH has always said 3-4, and I'm currently 32 wks with #3. He's already talking about #4, but I feel very much done at this point! 😝 Perhaps my feelings will change once baby is here and things settle down, but we will see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2617069 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 09:08:38 +0000 lamariniere 2617069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are both on the same page and totally done at 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2616975 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 00:16:51 +0000 birdofafeather 2616975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope, we're not done. we'll have one more and we both agree. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2616881 Tue, 06 Sep 2016 19:40:36 +0000 LovelyPlum 2616881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really thought I would want 4 kids, and DH wanted 3. But after how hard this pregnancy has been, we are both pretty sure we are going to be done at 2. I can't imagine doing this to our family again with me being so sick. I guess we will see if time erases these memories, but I'm skeptical. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2616843 Tue, 06 Sep 2016 17:40:39 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2616843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Done after our third. Although if I had a million dollars I would have 4, 5 or 6. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-family-feel-done-yet-do-you-and-your-so-agree/page/2#post-2616840 Tue, 06 Sep 2016 17:35:10 +0000 littleblessings 2616840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family felt we were done the day I had my son.
