Crossing my fingers for being due date twins with you... sometime in late February or early March? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-are-you-going-to-have#post-138996 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 17:20:13 +0000 HabesBabe 138996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'd like 2-- hubs came from a family of 2 and I was an only child. I don't want just one and I don't want a middle kid. LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-are-you-going-to-have#post-138991 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 17:18:07 +0000 Mrs. Blue 138991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: We're right there with you on having both adopted an biological children.</p> <p>I've always wanted to have 4 kids, but my age makes me think 3 is more likely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-are-you-going-to-have#post-138977 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 17:08:54 +0000 Running Elley 138977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'd ideally like to have 3 or 4. It depends on how the rest of this pregnancy goes and how getting pregnant again goes for us. We experienced 2 early MCs before we got pregnant this time and it was really hard on us. It seems like we've figured out how to help my body sustain a pregnancy but if for some reason it doesn't hurt next time and there are more miscarriages in our future that number could change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-are-you-going-to-have#post-138967 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 17:00:45 +0000 tequiero21 138967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Voted 3 but depends since we had to use fertility treatments. Not going that route against if it happens it happens. Otherwise we're happy with our 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-are-you-going-to-have#post-138706 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 13:23:15 +0000 PBandBaseball 138706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used to say 2 or 3 but after TTC for over a year I think I'd be happy with just one. Not sure I'd want to go through TTC with a baby/toddler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-are-you-going-to-have#post-138443 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 11:09:34 +0000 calsmom 138443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rachel: Ha! My husband's parents did want 3 children until they had him! His energy level wore them out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-are-you-going-to-have#post-138433 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 11:03:35 +0000 mrs. wagon 138433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 and through for us!</p> <p>But we're not tying any tubes just yet. We figure since we'll be finished relatively early (I'll be 31), if we find ourselves in our late 30s VERY rich and VERY bored we'll have a third. But the chances of both of those conditions happening (especially the bored one!) are very slim! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-are-you-going-to-have#post-138425 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 10:58:56 +0000 plaidpants 138425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'd be happy with just the one we have now! But I could see myself getting antsy for a second in a few years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-are-you-going-to-have#post-138419 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 10:55:18 +0000 DillonLion 138419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Undecided. Depends on a variety of factors, specifically how this pregnancy goes in relation to my health (my mom was too sick to ever carry a healthy pregnancy again after me). If I don't want to be pregnant again, it depends on how likely we'd be interested in pursuing adoption. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-are-you-going-to-have#post-138417 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 10:53:46 +0000 Adira 138417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We want two - preferably a boy and a girl, but we'll take what we can get. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-are-you-going-to-have#post-138398 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 10:38:51 +0000 Shutterbug 138398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marriedandlovingit: haha a friend of mine told me "we wanted three... until we had two.

That's it though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-are-you-going-to-have#post-137692 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 18:11:06 +0000 ALittleP 137692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure. Number one is on the way - depending on how things work out, we might have one more. If not, I'll be OK with just one :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-are-you-going-to-have#post-137661 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 17:46:48 +0000 heffalump 137661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two or three. Depending on finances. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-are-you-going-to-have#post-137622 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 17:19:05 +0000 autumnlove 137622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 with the option for 3! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-are-you-going-to-have#post-137616 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 17:14:54 +0000 Mrs. Pen 137616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAGS: yeah, before I had my son I thought I wanted 4-5 haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-are-you-going-to-have#post-137598 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:55:37 +0000 hilsy85 137598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now, 3. If we have 3 boys or 3 girls, I think we will go for 4 (finances permitting). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-are-you-going-to-have#post-137594 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:53:35 +0000 sulli301 137594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two :) Unless we win the lottery or have multiples... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-are-you-going-to-have#post-137578 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:38:58 +0000 LAGS 137578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not having experience parenthood yet, we assume 3. DH would love more, but I think 3 is a good number. If I had 3 girls, I'd probably try for a boy/#4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-are-you-going-to-have#post-137552 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:22:30 +0000 skipra 137552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll see how the first one goes before deciding on any others! Ideally, I would like 3-4 but given my age and our finances I don't see that happening. Most likely we'll try for 2 close together so that if the desire for #3 comes around I will still have some time. I would not be open to fertility treatments though, so if it doesn't happen naturally I will just go with whatever I'm given. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-are-you-going-to-have#post-137551 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:22:26 +0000 Andrea 137551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure yet, only 1-2 though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-are-you-going-to-have#post-137547 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:20:33 +0000 LuLu Mom 137547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For sure 2, possibly 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-are-you-going-to-have#post-137528 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:13:53 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 137528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-are-you-going-to-have#post-137520 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:10:22 +0000 lavender 137520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 is realistic for us, but who knows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-are-you-going-to-have#post-137518 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:09:56 +0000 chopsuey 137518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're having 3 for sure, possibly a 4th. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-are-you-going-to-have#post-137517 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:09:52 +0000 Minnie_Girl 137517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say I'd like three or four, though I'm not married to any particular number. I just don't see myself having one or two. </p> <p>I grew up with four siblings and tons of cousins. The big family, noisy house, and wild complexity of a handful of children come more naturally to me than a quieter, intensely focused upbringing of one or two. I like big projects! </p>
