QOTD 6/4
Since so many of us have baby fever, how many kids do you want?

Re: QOTD 6/4
We would be happy with or without children honestly. I get "baby hot flashes" from time to time, but I'm still not sold on the idea of having any. I never wanted kids when I was younger, and now I only want them sometimes. But, the moments when I think I want them, I really want them.
If we decide to have them we only want 2. I don't want an only child, but anything more than two does not sound appealing to me. Gender means nothing to me, but DH would want boys.
No baby fever here...yet.
DH and I would like 2 kids. I'm an only child, it was fun when I was a kid and didn't have share, but now it's no fun to not have siblings to play "remember when..." with. I'd like a girl and a boy...but whatever happens is the way it was meant to be
: )
I LOVE the term "baby hot flashes", ha! I think that's where I am.
I want 3, H only wants 2 because he already has 2. For some reason 4 is better than 5...
Compromise was 2 + a dog. But then I brought up twins run in my family and I won with 2 pregnancies haha.
Haha, yup, I get em too sometimes
I used to want to have as many as i could naturally before 40 (i also wanted to get married at 23 and get KU right away) now i'm 27 and realize how much i enjoy sleep and money...so more like 2...maybe 2-4 (we'll see how the first one goes). DH is 35, wanted to be done having kids by 40...and wants a bazillion kids (his words) so he's going for 4 HA...we'll see! we're going to stop TTA in July (went off the pill this month and have been TTA...but not as careful as we once were back in the day) we're not going to really TRY like, obsessively monitoring things, right away. we're just going to stop trying to NOT get KU and see how it goes
I couldn't be more excited for July!!!
EDIT:
I also want at least one of each gender...so two boys we'll try for a third def. and vice versa...BUT! if we have three boys I would not want to risk a 4th boy...esp knowing how DH was as a kid...
Haha i know too many people with three boys and i couldn't it! That's why if we have two boys, I'm adopting a little girl! I have to have a little girl. I could probably handle two girls and be okay without a son...i want a daughter for sure!
We want as many as we can afford, ha!. We used to say 4 or 5, but now the reality of how expensive they are it hitting us. Ideally I would like at least two (boy and girl in a perfect world, lol) but H has said that he would be happy with 1 if that's the way it's meant to be (but I'd still rather not have an only child).
I have 'baby hot flashes' too. A LOT of my friends have kids and every time I hear someone else is pregnant I get a pang of jealousy. But I'm 24, still in grad school, and we are still living in a one bedroom apartment. No where near ready for kids!
We always said we wanted two. Both of us are thinking maybe 3 now. Who knows?
Right now, we just want to be pregnant! Start with one and go from there.
We have my son who will be 13 on June 11th... We are pregnant with my second (Dh's first) due in goodness a MONTH, a little girl
DH says he wants 7 more HAHAHAHAHAAH I say a couple at least.
He loves DS like his own, but would like to have his own son as well which I understand. So I am sure this baby will not be our last. But goodness I think 7 is TOO much lol.
