I had to with our last child. We talked a lot about each others time lines minimum age for our other kids to be when we might have another one. Eventually he saw how much it meant to me and he decided it would be ok. Now he has his little girl along with his three boys so he's a happy guy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wellshoot#post-456249 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 16:19:43 +0000 T.H.O.U. 456249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the best thing to do is to just talk about it in a very open ended way. I wouldnt' scare him and say "I want another" but drop some hints, use the word maybe a lot and talk in the very future tense! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wellshoot#post-456234 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 16:16:22 +0000 lovehoneybee 456234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So in the months leading up to getting pregnant with DH, all through my pregnancy, and for the first month or two after DS was born DH and I mostly decided that we would only have the one child. DH is about 99% sure he doesn't want a second child (unless we could guarantee it would be a girl, then I think he'd go for it), and I was about 95% sure. </p> <p>WAS being the operative word, because now I think I want another! Not right this second, but in the not-distant future. I went from being 95% sure I only wanted one to like 30%. I haven't really said anything to DH, but make noncommittal hmms when he talks about only having Evan (the latest last night when I was cooing over a picture of a friend's brand new baby on FB).</p> <p>So...now we're at a point where DH is just about positive he only wants one and I'm pretty sure I want two. Anyone been in a similar situation? How did it play out? </p>
