Didn't change. In fact, it solidified my plans. The plan was always to wait until our first LO was 3 or 4, and that plan still works for us.

Didn't change our plans but I am extremely nervous about having a second because DS was a very colicky baby.

It was just a reality check. We will still go for a second bu not a third! We thought about ttc around lo's first birthday but we weren't ready. We are about to start ttc #2 and getting excited about it. Even six months ago I felt a lot differently. I've liked having a bit of a break from the little baby stage. (Dd is 18m.)

We were pretty sure we wanted to have a large family, even after having DS. But now that I'm less than 3 months away from having baby #2, we're both contemplating stopping with the two. We'll see if that changes but right now we both feel very content with two. Either way, we'll be taking a significant break between #2 and a possible third.

Went from wanting to be a SAHM to 2+ but now i want to be a WOHM to 1 only.

we went from wanting 3-4 to stopping at 2.

We wanted a house full before ds... Now we'll be okay with 2 or 3.

Definitely changed! I always thought I wanted 2, but we were going to wait until we were both out of grad school. Well, our daughter was born during my second semester of grad school, and throughout pregnancy we became more and more sure we're going to be one and done. She's 3 months old now and we're 99.9% sure she's going to be our only now

Didn't change. Although if the second is as bad of a sleeper and napper as the first I think I'm pretty much done!!!

I've always wanted 3, and most days still do. DH was always more of a 2, possibly 3 before our 2. Now he is definitely wanting to stop at 2

Nope! We did move our timeline up a bit. I thought we'd have three years between the first two, DH wanted two years. Ours will be 22 months apart. We have decided to take it one baby at a time.

I voted that it didn't change because we still plan to have another. We've definitely thought about being one and done, though, honestly because LO is so good! She's an awesome sleeper and has a great temperament so we're actually worried that we'd get a more difficult child next time!

I thought I wanted 3+ (I come from a large family and LOVE kids) but after seeing how much work and $$$ they are, I think I will be happy with 2!

#1 was far from planned, I always said I would never have kids. After having her and things settled I knew I had to have more

I still want two or three kids but the first few months definitely pushed our timeline out. The current plan is to start TTC in May (Miss A will be 18-19 months) and possibly try for a third once she is five.

DH is now in the one-and-done camp. I'd still like a second child, but financially that will be difficult. Also, it will be difficult energy-wise. DS is 15 months and I am always exhausted. A coworker of mine just gave birth to a boy and also has a 20 month old daughter. I can't imagine ...

We wanted 3 originally but since I was on bed rest for my first if it happens again we will stop at 2.

We were pretty set on being one and done when I had E. When he was several months old I changed my mind, though...I want him to have a sibling. I go back and forth, though, so we're still on the fence (and D hasn't come around yet, although he's made a list of things he needs to have happen before he'll start really considering it).

They didn't change, but the timing did. I always wanted two, but my original plan was to start trying after she turned one. Now I want to wait until 18 months or so before we try for a second.

@MrsTiz: I'm with you! Originally, I wanted 2 and now I'm thinking 1 sounds good. Luckily she's only 7 months old, so the decision doesn't have to be made today.
