Bee and I both feel done! We both wanted 2 kids, and our youngest is almost 5 - so we'd be starting over just when things are getting a lot easier!!
-
Yes, we are DONE. I am 100% sure, DH is probably 99%.
-
Yes we both wanted 2 and feel perfectly done now.
-
We are both 98% sure we are done at two. The youngest is not even 9 months so neither of us are ready to say for 100% certainty, but we don't feel like we could handle another one.
-
I think we're both about 80% done. Both of us still have a little doubt but most of the time we are done!
-
Neither off us feels done, despite having a reflux-y, poorly sleeping 4 week old. I was talking about number three a few hours after delivery. It's like a disease
Goes against all rational though
-
We'd both like one more. DH wants a couple deals to solidify and then we'll TTC again.
-
We both are not done and it was decided this weekend. DH wants to start trying now, I said I want to start trying next summer (I want to try for a spring/early summer baby.) I think DH is crazy for wanting to start now, we are moving in a month into a rental while we find a permanent residence or build, the last thing we need is to add the stress of a pregnant me
-
We're both done at 2. Every now and then I get a twinge of wanting another baby. But then I think about paying for college for 3, and vacations with 3, and splitting my attention to between all of them, and the twinge goes away.
-
I am still pregnant with #2 but DH and I both feel comfortably done. Hoping to still feel as confident about it once he is here (I think I will though).
-
Yes and we have been on the same page.
-
We're totally and completely done at two kids. I give major props to those who are parents to 3+ kids. Two kids is plenty of crazy for us.
-
We want one more but neither of us have that "our family is incomplete" feeling.
-
We have a one year old and a four year old. The oldest started full time preK today and she will be starting kindergarten next year. Now that she's in school I'm more open to considering #3.
-
I'm only 22 weeks pregnant with #2 but I'm pretty sure we're done also. Although we will not take any permanent measure to guarantee that, so there's always an off chance... lol.
-
We both want one or two more after this one that I'm currently cooking. Three or four at home (and one in heaven) seems right for us, but I guess we will see.
-
For us it doesn't matter if we feel done or not. We've got one embryo left frozen. We both want it to become a baby. If it doesn't I'll be content with having one child. It will be harder for my husband to accept. I just don't think I have it in me to do whatever it takes to have another. I'm ready to put the TTC stage of life behind me.
-
Some days yes, some days no. Some days I wish so hard that my daughter had a sibling. Other days I'm so glad it's just the 3 of us.
-
When I was pregnant with #2, we were both done, me like 99.9% done, and dh like 80% done. About 3 days after #2 was born, we both knew we wanted one more. Now I'm 13 weeks pregnant and we're both done done haha.
-
I'm newly pregnant with #3 and I think/hope I'll feel done after this one (because it's definitely the last!). I've always wanted three kids, so after both of mine were born, I did still have the "incomplete" feeling.
-
We feel complete and are on the same page. We've already taken permanent measures so DH would flip if I changed my mind!
-
DH isn't done, but I could stop with our one.
-
We thought we'd be once we had our second since we had one of each, but talks of #3 seems to be more frequent lately. So maybe we'll go for one more!
-
I'm definitely not done and totally sure I want another. DH is totally done and sure he doesn't want another. I'm hoping it becomes clearer with the passage of time who is "right." I'm open to the possibility of being done (mostly out of respect for DH), but I definitely don't feel done.
-
I definitely don't feel done at one. DH could go either way but would prefer two as well
-
We are both pretty sure that two is it for us. I could go for a third way down the road, but he is 1000% done. If we decide we want a third, we can adopt.
-
@mrbee: Done at one. DW is 1000000% certain and I am about 90% certain.
-
We don't feel done, which is why I am pregnant. But we are done, done, done after she comes.
-
I have been meaning to make a thread about this lately. I want a second baby very much but my husband is not ready. Sometimes I think maybe he doesnt want another one at all. My son is 20 months and it seems like everyday I see more people (friends, acquaintances, strangers) with similar aged kids who are pregnant or with newborns. Here on HB, like 75% or more of the birth month my son is from are expecting their second. Jealousy isn't the right word, but I definitely feel sad and want to be in their shoes.
It doesnt help that my toddler is the biggest sweetie about babies and just loves them. I hope my DH comes around. It is just a tough thing because there is no real compromise, aside from setting a timeline. I would love it if he set a timeline but he's not even receptive when I suggest something like that. I don't want to hound him about any of this because I think it will have the opposite affect.
-
DH and I are about 95% sure that we are done. We always planned on being one and done, and despite how awesome LO is, nothing has changed our minds. We've discussed having another and haven't taken any permanent measures, but we're pretty happy with our life now and can't imagine adding another person to our mix.
-
@junebugsmama: When my daughter turned two, we had a serious discussion because I wasn't ready to be done and he wasn't ready to have another child. We decided that we would try once she was 2.5 to hopefully give us a spring/early summer baby (and be under the August 1 kindergarten cutoff) and a 3.5-4 year age gap. However, we had an oops and now I'm set to deliver right as our daughter turns three.
-
We are totally undecided, but if we do have another one it won't be for another two to three years (closer to when our oldest is ready for kindergarten). For the first few months of Panda's life, I was more certain that I was done...in the last two or three months, though, I've been having major baby fever!
-
We're not sure. The kids drive us nuts sometimes, day care costs a fortune, and DD had gone from being a regular bad sleeper to a night partier, but as DH pointed out, 20 years from now, this will be behind us and we'll be glad to have a full house.
-
@junebugsmama: what you said about no compromise is so true!
I always thought that I only wanted one and DH wanted at least two maybe three. Well after DD everything changed, I desperately want another and DH is certain we are done with our one. I don't know how it will play out. It feels like one of us will be unhappy either way. I obviously will not have another child if DH never changes his mind but right now that feels like a devastating thing. I hope eventually one of us willingly feels differently.
-
No, I don't feel like our family is complete. My husband has a 10 year old, and we have a 1 year old together. The plan has always been to have 2 kids together, maybe, possibly 3. But with a miscarriage before my daughter, and another one this month, it's hard not to get discouraged. My husband says he could be content with our one awesome kid, but I definitely don't feel done.
-
We're done at 2. My husband plans on having a vasectomy this year.
-
I am done! Before DS we agreed on 2, then I had a terrible colicky, MSPI,and reflux newborn. He screamed all day everyday for 4 months and I literally could not put him down. I ended up with PPA and PPD. I literally cried more in 4 months than my entire adult life. All of that just to say DH still wants another, but I am absolutely done. We just had a serious talk about it yesterday, I flat out told him he is not emotionally supportive enough for me to ever go through that again, so he needed to get used to the idea of DS being it for us. Those 4 months almost wrecked our relationship,and n top of all that I had a really hard pregnancy, that ended 4 weeks early with an induction due to pre-e. Sorry for the novel lol, it's still a tough subject for me and DH, he's holding out hope but I am sssssoooooooo done.
-
Before our second we were apprehensive about adjusting to two. Now that lo2 is almost 1, we'd have 1-2 more if we could afford them. But right now we can't, and the thought of being pregnant again honestly does NOT sound appealing. So we're done!
-
Yes Yes Yes we are both 100% absolutely done at 2!
-
We just had our third last month. I anticipate we will TTC for one more on 2018 but we will see if that happens.
