I would be fine with 2 but DH is stuck on three. I think the gender of the next one might help us decide if we try for a 3rd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-did-your-parents-have-and-how-many-do-you-want/page/2#post-1226174 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 09:03:04 +0000 Littlebit 1226174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom had 3, his mom had 4. I would like 3..he would like 4. We'll see how that changes once we actually have children though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-did-your-parents-have-and-how-many-do-you-want/page/2#post-1226154 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 08:54:15 +0000 littlek 1226154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: My mom medically could only have 2. I'm not sure if whe wanted more. I would like 2 or 3, it depends on whether my heart can handle that many pregnancies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-did-your-parents-have-and-how-many-do-you-want/page/2#post-1226148 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 08:52:17 +0000 Alivoo01 1226148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents had 2 - one of each. That's what the hubby and I want also, but if we double up, we'll try for a third, but that's it!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-did-your-parents-have-and-how-many-do-you-want/page/2#post-1226040 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 07:55:03 +0000 Koolbreeze 1226040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both our parents had 3 kids.

I guess I technically have the same.</p> <p>This will be my second living baby, and even though I'm done being pregnant, we're hoping to be able to adopt one more later on.</p> <p>But, I'd be ok if these 2 are it for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-did-your-parents-have-and-how-many-do-you-want/page/2#post-1226026 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 07:44:10 +0000 matador84 1226026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Parents had 3--2 boys and a girl. I think I'd be okay with 4 if we could swing it financially and had a larger house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-did-your-parents-have-and-how-many-do-you-want/page/2#post-1226025 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 07:44:03 +0000 ILoveLettie 1226025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents had 2 girls; my DH's parents had a boy and a girl.

I would love 3 but getting my husband to stay on track for 2 was a fight so I think we will most likely end up with two which is fine by me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-kids-did-your-parents-have-and-how-many-do-you-want#post-1225833 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 01:22:00 +0000 Running Elley 1225833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents had 3.
