If 1 &amp; 2 had been closer in age- we would have stopped at 2.

We're unexpectedly having another, and I'm sad about losing some of the fun only child things, but I'm excited to see that sibling relationship. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-family-sizes-could-you-do/page/2#post-2069929 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 15:03:58 +0000 MrsMccarthy 2069929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: I hope that happens for me too. I kind of think it will once my baby is here. Can't wait to see your little boy and hear his name. Little Z kills me on IG with her cuteness. Her leotard OMG! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-family-sizes-could-you-do/page/2#post-2069928 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 15:00:47 +0000 Anya 2069928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1 or 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-family-sizes-could-you-do/page/2#post-2069927 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 15:00:08 +0000 anonysquire 2069927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: it did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-family-sizes-could-you-do/page/2#post-2069926 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 14:57:06 +0000 MrsMccarthy 2069926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: oh I thought you wanted a big family? Did that change? </p> <p>I would love 4 and think I could swing it but no way is that happening. My husband wouldn't be cool with making the sacrifices for more than 2 at this point. Looks like we will have two and I'm okay with that. Lot certainly will make things easier in terms of our future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-family-sizes-could-you-do/page/2#post-2069896 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 14:17:27 +0000 Mamasig 2069896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 is my max which is what I'd like. I think 3 would definitely be a bigger stretch financially and logistically which totally scares me. But luckily, my mom and sister live very close and can help with school drop offs, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-family-sizes-could-you-do/page/2#post-2069890 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 14:03:47 +0000 mrsjyw 2069890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 maybe 3. That's a big maybe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-family-sizes-could-you-do/page/2#post-2069785 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 12:03:55 +0000 coopsmama 2069785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two and will probably have 2 more. I SAH full time so I don't feel spread too thin yet -- if I did WOH I know I could never do more than 2. At least while they're young!! We were talking and probably won't try to get pregnant again until mid to late 2017 so at least our kids would be 4 and 5 when a new one came - that seems doable to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-family-sizes-could-you-do/page/2#post-2069746 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 11:02:32 +0000 youboots 2069746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1 is due in 3 weeks. We will likely have a second and possibly a third- that would be our max. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-family-sizes-could-you-do/page/2#post-2069739 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 10:54:30 +0000 luckypenny 2069739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we want three. We already have two. I know for the third though, we for sure want to adopt. I can't do pregnancy again - PPD scares me too much and I hate loosing weight. But for some reason, I just don't feel "done". My husband and I also strongly considered adopting and/or fostering long before we got pregnant with our first child.</p> <p>I wouldn't want the kid to be older than than our youngest so this is still quite a few years away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-family-sizes-could-you-do/page/2#post-2069734 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 10:48:07 +0000 chopsuey 2069734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could "do" up to 4, but 2 is perfect for us.<br /> I can give just the right amount of time and attention to my kids, hubbie, house and myself!<br /> I'd be spread way too thin if we had more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-family-sizes-could-you-do/page/2#post-2069731 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 10:42:56 +0000 Espion 2069731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wanted 2, have 2. Three would have to be a surprise and sneak in there, but you'd have to get through two forms of birth control, my friend. Plus I'd never retire. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-family-sizes-could-you-do/page/2#post-2069722 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 10:28:46 +0000 yoursilverlining 2069722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're happy with 1. Neither of us have any desire for a boatload of kids, emotionally or logistically. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-family-sizes-could-you-do/page/2#post-2069712 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 10:18:15 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2069712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with being happy with 1, 2 is probably ideal and if we didn't both work, I might like more. I think finding balance with 2 will be a challenge but I would like to take it on. My husband isn't so sure so we'll see. I truly am happy with 1! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-family-sizes-could-you-do/page/2#post-2069704 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 10:09:04 +0000 krispi 2069704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No more than 2. It's still up in the air whether we'll stick with 1 or have another.</p> <p>If I was younger and able to stay home, I could maybe see having 3, but that isn't the case for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-family-sizes-could-you-do/page/2#post-2069661 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 09:08:09 +0000 lamariniere 2069661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 is definitely the limit for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-family-sizes-could-you-do/page/2#post-2069652 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 08:54:38 +0000 loveisstrange 2069652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 is probably my hard limit. Right now, 1 looks pretty sweet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-family-sizes-could-you-do#post-2069638 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 08:39:19 +0000 autumnlove 2069638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3-4! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-family-sizes-could-you-do#post-2069634 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 08:15:43 +0000 yin 2069634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're happy with two.

We could handle two, but are happy with what we have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-family-sizes-could-you-do#post-2069580 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 04:27:52 +0000 tequiero21 2069580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the ideal world, I would love another girl to make it four, but man, I feel old and don't think I could do it again. Barely getting thru number three. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-family-sizes-could-you-do#post-2069577 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 04:01:19 +0000 Skadi 2069577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We want six. We could probably do eight, but I'm wary of having kids past the age of 40. I'd be really sad if we only have four or less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-family-sizes-could-you-do#post-2069566 Sat, 14 Feb 2015 02:26:54 +0000 Kimberlybee 2069566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always imagined a family with 3-4 kids but that's not going to happen. We have 1, working on #2 and we'll be done at 2 kids. </p>
