before i had jeremy i always thought i would have 3 or 4 kids. now, i think i'd be perfectly happy with 1 or 2. actually, these days all i really want is the 1 but i can't imagine going the rest of my life without ever having another baby. so i think 2 is a safe assumption.

how about you?

I never wanted ANY, to be honest.
When I got pregnant with Holden, if he had been a girl we'd be done. So now I want a girl, badly.

I always wanted at least 3 children.

Now facing reality I think having 1 more will be perfect (especially if it's a girl)I will be done after that. I don't see myself having a lot of children because of today's society... maybe in the next (3 years) when Isaac is in preschool I'll consider another one but for right now I think 1 is my magic number and I'm more than happy with him I grew up being the only child and loved it but I plan on giving Isaac at least 1 sibling but not anytime soon I love my life the way it is.

I thought you were actively TTC before Holden...I am confused.

ETA; I always wanted two boys and a girl and that's what I have.

I never actually put a number on how many kids I wanted. I was not planning on anymore after I had my 3 girls but then I met DH. He didn't have any kids and he wanted at least one. I think though I would like another one so Will has a sibling close in his age. I figured my youngest girls will be moving out when he is only 8 for college so I would like someone for him to play with.

I guess I always wanted a lot of kids, I don't know how many I will have but my current feelings are just for Marilyn. I don't want any more children right now. But who knows?

I dunno. I always said around 2 maybe 3. But i am 100% happy with a boy and girl......so i am pretty sure we are done. Dh only wanted 1, but i convinced him how sad it would be for Jefta to grow up alone, with no siblings. Now we have Jorja, and everyone is happy! Love it!

I thought that I wanted two and luckily we had a boy and then a girl. But, now when we said that we were done, DH and I are thinking we might actually want another one. However, we decided that if we aren't pregnant by DH's 39th bday in August, we will be done and he will get fixed. So, we are actively TTC'ing right now. I thought I was pregnant this month and I took a test this morning, but it was negative. Oh well. If we are meant to have one more, we will. If not, then we weren't.

When I was younger I wanted 4, but now that I'm older I only want one more. If I were 20-25 I would definitely still want more. I'm already worried about how old I'll be when the next one is graduating high school. My mom had me when she was 34 and I hated the age difference between us.

we were. I never wanted any growing up. Changed as I became an adult.. guess the motherly instinct finally kicked in

I always pictured myself with 3 kids....and along with that being pregnant 3 times. I never thought to factor in being a stepmother. Dh and I are conflicted...we definitely want one more and are planning on TTC again in Sept. that will make 3 and a crazy house...I just wonder if I will be satisfied with 3 kids but only getting to experiece being pregnant twice so we'll see...we will definitely have , 3 MAYBE 4
