We have a super easy baby and there are still times when I think to myself, do I really want to do this all over again?! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideally-how-many-kids-do-you-want/page/2#post-1334455 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 06:13:28 +0000 LittleFox 1334455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never had a set number in my head. We're just taking it one kid at a time. Right now we have one, and I know I'd still like another baby, so at least two at this point. After we eventually have baby #2 is when I'll decide about a #3 . I'm open to however many ends up working for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideally-how-many-kids-do-you-want/page/2#post-1334453 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 06:07:49 +0000 MrsRcCar 1334453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love 4! Dh was on board with this plan but this pregnancy has been pretty hard on us. However we will try for at least one more after this pregnancy. We may end up with all boys but hey gotta try for that girl right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideally-how-many-kids-do-you-want/page/2#post-1334432 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 05:37:34 +0000 MadamBabyFever 1334432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely want two, but I'm open to the idea of three, hubs though will need convincing to even go to two.<br /> Of course this might all change once I actually get pregnant and give birth, my SIL was very in to the idea of having 2-3 but after her first she was in the 'Never Again!' camp, although now, two years on, she seems to be softening to the idea again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideally-how-many-kids-do-you-want/page/2#post-1334427 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 05:24:10 +0000 Purpledaisy 1334427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3-4 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideally-how-many-kids-do-you-want/page/2#post-1333709 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 21:17:50 +0000 SupernovaJ 1333709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want 3 kids badly! But I'm just now pregnant with the first and it's hard imagining having two more. I come from family of 3 and it was always so fun growing up...2 against 1, the two olders doting on the littlest one, etc. My parents say when you have 3 or more kids, it seems overwhelming in the moment, especially when they are young. But when they're all grown up and they come home to visit, it's fun having a full house and suddenly 3 doesn't seem like a lot and they wish they had more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideally-how-many-kids-do-you-want/page/2#post-1333652 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 21:10:05 +0000 Boopers 1333652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two with the possibility of three. We don't have any kids yet though so even 2 could change! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideally-how-many-kids-do-you-want/page/2#post-1333514 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 20:52:58 +0000 NovBaby1112 1333514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm torn between 2 and 3! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideally-how-many-kids-do-you-want/page/2#post-1333468 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 20:45:31 +0000 tequiero21 1333468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ideally 4, 2 of each. But my hubby wants 3 and honestly, I don't think we could handle 3, let alone 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideally-how-many-kids-do-you-want/page/2#post-1333314 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 20:23:53 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1333314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is only 4 months old &amp; while I want to enjoy her babyhood &amp; just focus on her for a while...we've already started picking names &amp; planning the birth of #2! I want 3, he wants 2. My heart is really set on 3. I love love love being a mom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideally-how-many-kids-do-you-want/page/2#post-1333252 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 20:17:35 +0000 MrsH 1333252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Happy with one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideally-how-many-kids-do-you-want/page/2#post-1333211 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 20:13:05 +0000 Ra 1333211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2.

We'll see though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideally-how-many-kids-do-you-want#post-1332229 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 17:12:19 +0000 DillonLion 1332229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1 :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideally-how-many-kids-do-you-want#post-1332207 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 17:05:33 +0000 Running Elley 1332207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We currently have 2 and would like 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideally-how-many-kids-do-you-want#post-1332172 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:56:06 +0000 stargal 1332172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We would like 4 but we will see how life turns out.

My mum had wanted three too but it never worked out, I wonder sometimes whether that has something to do with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideally-how-many-kids-do-you-want#post-1332096 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:44:37 +0000 Foodnerd81 1332096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2. Dh always wanted 2, I said 2 or 3. Then I had 1 and questioned how anyone ever decides to go through this again! Now that we are out of the "fourth trimester" I'm back to wanting another, someday, but two will be plenty, whether we end up with two girls or one of each. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideally-how-many-kids-do-you-want#post-1331988 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:24:16 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1331988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pregnant with # 1 right now... and I think we want 3-4.

Perhaps several more.. I love the idea of a big family, but we will re-evaluate as each LO comes along, Lord willing.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideally-how-many-kids-do-you-want#post-1331973 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:19:41 +0000 Crystal 1331973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH wants 6, but I like the idea of 4. </p> <p>We don't have any yet, so that may very well change after our first one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideally-how-many-kids-do-you-want#post-1331954 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:15:23 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1331954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ideally 4, but realistically 2. DH and I are both only children so we both say we want "at least" 2 kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideally-how-many-kids-do-you-want#post-1331953 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:14:48 +0000 Aria 1331953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always just wanted two, although my husband wanted three since that's what he grew up with. Now that we're older and still don't have kids yet, I think we both just want two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideally-how-many-kids-do-you-want#post-1331948 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:13:44 +0000 Dandelion 1331948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't mind 3...I'd be happy with more, but I don't want to have to be pregnant with them. Anything more, we'd have to adopt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideally-how-many-kids-do-you-want#post-1331936 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:10:13 +0000 knittylady 1331936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted 3 but I think 3-4. Laughable since having just 1 LO is kicking our butts!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideally-how-many-kids-do-you-want#post-1331920 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:07:13 +0000 Littlebit 1331920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I originally wanted 2 (preferably twins!) and my husband wanted 4. I think we'll probably try for 3 or 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideally-how-many-kids-do-you-want#post-1331892 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:00:27 +0000 Mamasig 1331892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I agreed on 3 before we got married. He wanted 4. After DS I thought just 2 because pregnancy was so hard. Now I'm pregnant with #2. This pregnancy has been so much easier, I'm back to 3. The financial aspect of 3 worries so we'll see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideally-how-many-kids-do-you-want#post-1331889 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 15:59:56 +0000 lilteacherbee 1331889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We want 3! </p>
