If you would like to see pictures of my sweet (but tiny) boy they can be viewed at www.caringbridge.org/visit/noahdarrohn they aren't the easiest pitures to look at but I am willing to share them with anyone who would like to see them <3

Four or six. I find even numbers better so that everyone has a buddy when they fight. growing up with three it was always two against one.

3 has always been my perfect number, no particular reason. I will be more than happy with 2. Savannah is already 10 (11 in April) so it will be like raising 2 only children, which actually works for me.

I think I would like to have 2. I want to have at least one that is actually ours genetically and then if we just can't have another then we would adopt. My DH and I have actually talked a lot about adopting a couple of kids in the future so that would take us up to 3 or 4 even. Have to wait til I'm well out of school and making some money though. It's one thing for us to live off of ramen, totally different for kids!

Ever since i was little i always wanted 4 kids. the reason being is if i pass away, my kids have more siblings. and if one of my kids pass away they still have 3 siblings. catch my drift? lol

I'll be happy with 2 but DH likes a big family so he'll be happy with 3 or 4.

DH would be happy with just one I think, but if I can, I'd love to have 2 or 3, maybe more!

I'd love to have 4, but would (probably) settle for 3.

We want two children. I wouldn't mind having more but our house won't hold more than two. We're hoping for twins.

I would have loved 4. So far, I have lost one, kept one and mc'd one. Secretly, I am hoping for twins, but a healthy singleton would be blissfully wecome.
