We are in the "one and done" camp. I am open to two, but DH is a strong opposer (he didn't even want one to begin with, so having one is a huge stretch for him), so that's it for us.
How about you?
-
I might sound crazy, but I would love 4!! I don't know if will be financially feasible, but that's my dream!
-
Yep. Just not a kid person. Id have considered 2 if my pregnancy, birth, and recovery had been different but yeah definitely not.
-
I have two and we want one more.
-
We have one and I'm totally satisfied. DH wants to try once more for a boy.
-
i'd like 3, but might be done at 2 (we'll see after the 2nd.)
-
#2 is soon arriving and then we're done.
-
We are done at one, for a lot of reasons, mainly my age.
-
I'm working on #1 but I definitely leaning closer to one and done. I think DH would like more than one eventually but we both agreed that we have no idea what to expect with even one so we're not planning on more until we know for sure we can handle it! Financially mostly!
-
I want 3, DH wants 4+. We shall see.
-
I want 3
-
Want or are going to have? In our current state of affairs, we can really only have our one (who we are perfectly happy with if things go that way). If things were different, we would totally have 2.
-
I'm totally open to 4+. But DH needed some convincing for this first one...lol! He will probably only want 2. But we will see!
-
I'm pregnant with our first right now, and we've always talked about just having 2. I WILL admit, though, that I'm curious to see if my/our mindset changes once baby gets here. I have a friend who has always wanted 3, and she said now that they have the first one, the thought of having more is scary!
-
I want 2, maaaaybe 3. DH wants 3-4!
-
In an ideal world I would have 3. But, we may be only having one.Time will tell! If we do have another, we will likely stop at 2 and it won't be until P is AT LEAST 3 years old when we start trying again.
-
We're going to see how #1 goes before deciding on #2. We are definitely open to 2 (not more though!) and I can see the benefits in kids having siblings and whatnot. But then again, both my husband and I have siblings we grew up without (so we were essentially only children) and we were fine! I'm hoping after we have our first for a bit it will become very clear to us if we feel our family is complete or if we want to try for a second.
-
I would like 4. It will be interesting to see if we can make that work though... daycare is $$!
-
@ms.janedoe: Yup! I'm sure my thoughts will change once I give birth. My sister actually didn't want any more for a few years, but after her DD was born, she was ready for another!
We will see!
-
We're thinking 2 with options open for 3 depending on our lives etc. We often think if we have 3, we will adopt the third.
-
Right now, we have no plans for another. But I'm open to changing my mind when she's a little bit older. As of now, there's no way we'd have another.
-
DH is still open to 3, but I'm pretty sure I'm done at 2. We already have one of each and they get along great so I'm happy with how things are as they stand!
-
I want 2! Hubs would have been happy with 0 and now would be happy with just the 1 we have, but is willing to go for #2 since that's what I want, haha.
-
Not sure! I thought I only wanted one, but lately I've been leaning towards 2. I think I'd be perfectly happy with just DD though!
-
We have 2 and we're done!
-
Dh wants 2, I'd like 4 - hoping ill be able to get him to 3!
-
We want 2!
-
We plan on 2- DH always wanted 1 or 2, I wanted 2 or 3. But now that we have C, I know I could be totally fine with just her, though I do still want another (and DH would like to try for a boy). My pregnancy and delivery were pretty easy (relatively speaking) but just knowing how difficult the newborn stage is, I've been stretching out our timeline a bit and want her to be more independent before considering another!
I love big families-- I'm one of 5 and love having so many siblings, but it's not really in the cards for us-- financially it would be a stretch, emotionally, and age wise it probably wouldn't happen unless I wanted to get them out one after another-- no thanks
-
Pregnant with # 1 right now.. we are going to take it one at a time, but probably will have 3 or 4 depending on how things go!
-
We're on the fence. I voted 2 but that is still undecided. J could be our one and only, however I know myself and if we are financially more stable, I'm down with two! 3 sounds like a LOT to handle with being a ft WOHM.
-
we are definitely 2 and done!
-
We both want 2 (though sometimes DH thinks 1 is enough). My sister has always said she only wants 1 if/when she ever has kids. I think you just know.
-
we're one and done. I love meeting other one and done parents and giving them high fives
-
We originally wanted 2 but are so traumatized by our experience with LO we may be one and done after all.
-
DH originally wanted 3 and I wanted 2. Now that we have one, I'm pretty sure we will north be fine with two. Infants are a lot of work!
-
We've always planned on two (although I used to say I wanted five or six!). However, going through IF for 2+ years, then IVF, we had accepted that we might be one and done. I'm pregnant with twins now, so we're getting our two right off the bat and don't plan on any more.
-
We for sure want two, with the possibility of a third. Maybe.
-
We have one and are in debate over a potential second. I want another (eventually), DH doesn't, but is keeping the door open.
-
I'd like to have two, and up until last week my husband was in the one and done camp, but he broached the subject of siblings all on his own. We're going to focus on getting this one birthed first and then revisit the topic.
-
I voted two even though I really want three because DH wants two and he usually wins in these kind of matters!
@Foodnerd81: Really? It's had the opposite effect for me - I want to get my childbearing years over and done more quickly - get through the newborn stages of all my children in as short a time as possible then get on with our happy lives!
