S/O Babies... How many?
How many children would you want to have if money, space, fertility, etc was no issue?
How many do you realistically see yourself having?

Re: S/O Babies... How many?
3 or 4
Realistically though, we're done. We want to be able to provide generously for our children, and we can do that with two.. not so much with any more. Plus, DH doesn't want more. I am not quite ready to make any permanent decisions yet.
With the caveat that I've obviously never experienced motherhood and that could totally change my opinion, I think it'd be really great to have 4.
Realistically, we will probably stop at 2-3. DH just wants 2, but would be wiling to consider 3 when the time comes.
But even more realistically, I try not to get stuck on a number because there are so many factors we can't control. My mother had a very hard time having children and I could end up in that same boat one day.
My Ovulation Chart
How is it that my BABY is going to be 3?
BFP-2/25/11; 8 Wk U/S-3/25/11-No HB, measured 6.5 wks; D&C
I think 2 would be the max. We have no family here (and very few friends) to help, which makes having 2 even a scary thought
If money, age, fertitlity, etc. were no issue I would love to have 4-5. I come from a big family and adore all my siblings, it's so nice to know I will always have those people in my life that are connected to me even after my parents are gone.
Realistically, we will probably have 2, maybe 3.
We are subscribing to the "one and done" idea. We don't plan to take any permanent action toward that until after the baby is born and we're settled. We figure it's possible we'll change our minds once she's here. And we're open to that. But....I'm pretty sure we're both set on just one.
