Re: How many kids do you realistically think you will have?

We always wanted at least 4.... DH would joke about 6... We will have at least 3. We're praying for 4. It is all dependent upon how my c/s looks when we someday go for #2 Chat Icon

Re: How many kids do you realistically think you will have?

we have 2 and we're done - quitting while we are ahead

if #3 were to happen it would be sheer luck

Re: How many kids do you realistically think you will have?

I voted 2. Right now working on #2 is proving to be extremely challenging (TTC wise), so who knows when we'll finally have #2. If it's sometime in the near future, I'd consider a 3rd, but there's a LOT of variables in that decision.

Re: How many kids do you realistically think you will have?

We have 2 now and would like to have 2 more in a few years...we've decided that 4 would be complete for us, but you never know...6 wouldn't be out of the question if we are financially able.

Re: How many kids do you realistically think you will have?

I'm 90% sure that 2 will be it, but because we're young, I don't want to close off the possibility of a 3rd, even if it's a tiny part of us that thinks it. But realistically speaking, two is probably it.

Most likely two. We have two Chat Icon right now. If I could skip the pregnancy and the first few months I'd have 1 more. My pregnancies were rough and I find the first 6 months so tough. I'm not sure I could do it again with two little ones to take care of.

I use to always say I wanted 3. But after DS, Dh and I have decided that 2 would be perfect!

Re: How many kids do you realistically think you will have?

3, I think.

We'll see in a few weeks how we do with 2.

I'm only 29 (will be 30 in 8 days...yikes!), so we will probably give it a few years once DS is born and then reassess.

I've always wanted 3... DH is fine with stopping at 2 (our second child is due July 3rd).
I'm only 26 and cannot fathom this being my last pregnancy, so I'm pretty sure we'll end up with 3 children. Chat Icon

Re: How many kids do you realistically think you will have?

I am 99.9% sure I am done when DS #2 is here but you never know! DH & I were discussing it the other night bc I have such wonderful pregnancy's that I am truly going to miss it. Since both our sons will be within a year, we might wait until they are 4 & 5 and try for one more but not really sure. It will depend on finances at that point
