However, if our two kids are of the same sex, we'd try for a third, but that's it after that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-do-you-plan-to-have#post-197059 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 08:46:38 +0000 MrsBrewer 197059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I think we originally wanted 4.....But now we are thinking about 2 and going from there :-) We definitely want more than 1 though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-do-you-plan-to-have#post-197048 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 08:41:23 +0000 purrpletulips 197048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted two and through because that is my thoughts. DH keeps complaining about the costs of childcare for two yet every once in awhile brings up a third. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-do-you-plan-to-have#post-197038 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 08:37:54 +0000 Mrs. Blue 197038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wanted four. I was from a family of three and it seemed like one was always left out, so in my perfect world two boys and two girls woul be great. But, considering I'm not starting until my 30s, and we'd love to still travel and not spend all our money on college educations...2-3 is more likely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-do-you-plan-to-have#post-197019 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 08:26:12 +0000 ladyfingers 197019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always wanted 2, but lately, I'm just not sure. I don't think I'll ever be able to become a SAHM or even go part time, and the idea of two kids in daycare is scary (financially). Unless we waited 4 or 5 years until LO was in preschool or regular school, but that seems like a big gap. </p> <p>So... I just don't know. A lot can change so we shall see! DH is fine with 1 or 2, he doesn't really care as much :)</p> <p>ETA: I'll be 32 when I deliver our first, so waiting 4-5 years for our 2nd may not even be an option for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-do-you-plan-to-have#post-197016 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 08:24:12 +0000 skipra 197016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure! I'm pregnant with our first but think I would love to have 2 or 3 if I can get pregnant again. Who knows, maybe after the birth I will be happy with one. If it takes a while to get pregnant again, I think we'll just try for two. Or if we wind up with two of the same gender, we'll stick with that. Otherwise the third could be an option! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-do-you-plan-to-have#post-197003 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 08:12:52 +0000 LuLu Mom 197003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted two and through, but we both said with an option of a 3rd. DH really wants a son, so if we end up having 2 girls (we have one on the way) he wants to be able to discuss having a third to try for a boy. We will see if that happens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-do-you-plan-to-have#post-196957 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 07:50:03 +0000 mrsjyw 196957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hopefully three, but I asked DH to give me the option of changing my mind after 1 of each (if we are so lucky). </p> <p>DH fully admits that if it were financially viable and if I were physically healthy enough, he'd want 4-5+ children. :O LOL.</p> <p>We may adopt in our later years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-do-you-plan-to-have#post-196919 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 07:02:54 +0000 hilsy85 196919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hopefully 3! But at least 2,...I think it will depend on finances and my ability to handle everything as a SAHM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-do-you-plan-to-have#post-196917 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 07:01:42 +0000 Sammyfab 196917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved being pregnant and would totally go through it again in a heartbeat. LO, however, is a spirited baby. He's not super easy but he's not super hard either. I would love to have a 2nd but it terrifies me that our next baby could be even more difficult! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-do-you-plan-to-have#post-196908 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 06:55:53 +0000 Rubies 196908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a daughter and if #2 is also a girl, then we're through. But if #2 is a boy, I will be open to having a third. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-do-you-plan-to-have#post-196874 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 00:59:41 +0000 Rosie Girl 196874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are thinking we would like to try for 3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-do-you-plan-to-have#post-196868 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 23:58:42 +0000 Mrs. Train 196868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have four and I am DONE! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-do-you-plan-to-have#post-196866 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 23:32:41 +0000 Mrs. Pen 196866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: haha yeah! I'm so glad when people asked how many I wanted I always said, "we'll see how the first one goes." Even though DS is the most perfect baby EVER, I hated birth enough for it sway my decision :) but we'll see, I could have a change of heart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-do-you-plan-to-have#post-196865 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 23:20:10 +0000 sandy 196865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: haha! After my first trimester I told everyone we were adopting the rest of our kids. Then when I was in labor I told my husband "we are only having one kid and I mean it!". Sometimes I feel like I would be happy with just one but I would love for LO to have siblings when we are gone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-do-you-plan-to-have#post-196843 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 22:19:31 +0000 Mrs. Pen 196843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: hahaha do you ever "plan" an "oops"? lol</p> <p>ahh I don't know what to vote. We have one and I love him to death, but pregnancy and birth were AWFUL and I hated both. So at first I was like NO MORE KIDS EVERRR. lol but I knew I could never have just one. I would say two, but I know my husband wants four, so we may settle on three. I'm not sure. They will be evenly spaced though - like 3 years then 2-3 years or something like that. Not too close. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-do-you-plan-to-have#post-196840 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 22:08:47 +0000 skibobrown 196840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two!

We think we're probably done, but I've learned to never say never since I don't know what the future holds. If the adoption fairy came to our door, we wouldn't say no and if there was a whoops then we'd happily have a 3rd. No, we're not planning on an oops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-many-do-you-plan-to-have#post-196723 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 19:40:58 +0000 lovehoneybee 196723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Ha, same here! We're not 100% sure yet...we (read: I) decided to give it a year and reassess.

We'll see how the spirit moves us. :) </p>
