how old are you?

justamom11 · #1 November 8th, 2007, 07:45 PM

speaking of ages, i was wondering how old everyone is in here, if you dont mind my asking...or approximately if you feel more comfy (i.e. mid-20s, early 30s, etc)

when did you have your first child (if this isnt your first)?

how many more do you plan to have? and why?

-me and dh are in our very early 30s
-this is our first child/ren (twins)
-we plan to have 4 total
-we always wanted a big family and someone to take care of us when we're old!! not to mention help with chores around the house! hehh yeah..little worker bees...jk!

Hi!

I'm 29, this is our first. No idea how many we'll end up with... at least a couple I hope.

I'm glad you asked - I wanted to ask too!

DH is early 30s, I'm 35.
I was 33 when I had my first.
No more planned. 2 was my limit, 3 was his.

I am almost 38 (Nov 18th), DH is 30

I have 3 kids - had my first at 23, then 27, and 30

This is DH's first and we hope to have one more..we'll see how this one goes

Im 31....I swear I always feel old or Im soooooo late at doing this. ALL my friends had there babies YEARS ago....DH 34. This will be our 1st...

*Im 30 and DH is 40
*Our first child together, he has a 13 year old daughter.
*I want to have 2 kids, doesnt matter if its boy/boy, girl/girl, boy/girl but we really want 2 boys. heh.
I think 2 is perfect cuz they have eachother to play with, I had my brother growing up. 3 would be a bit too many one will always feel left out and it gets costy!

I just turned 27, DH is 32
This will be our first child.
We hope to have two children relatively close in age as they will have to share a room for a while. I always wanted between 2 and 4, DH only wants 2...it works out perfect. No desire to have an only child.

I am in my early 20's ad SO is in his mid 30's.
This is our first child together. Neither of us have previous children (besides an angel).
He wants 2, I want 3. We'll see how that goes. It will really depend on where we are financially in the next few years and where life takes us.

MommaOnCloud9 · #9 November 8th, 2007, 10:23 PM

Dh is 28. I'm 27.
I was 26 when we had our first daughter.
We want 1-2 more (3-4 total). We like big families, but we also want to be able to afford private school, vacations, etc....

I'm 29, I had DS when I was 23 and bean will be born just before I turn 30. If all goes well, this will most likely be our last as we'd both be more than happy with two.

shez26 · #11 November 9th, 2007, 12:41 AM

I am 27 and DH is 28. I had my daughter when i was 20 and this will be DH and ,ines first together! Hoping to have 1 more but this one was a miracle so we're more than happy with that!

#12 November 9th, 2007, 03:26 AM

DH and I are both 26.
This is our first.
We plan on two, but maybe three depending.

valandemmy · #13 November 9th, 2007, 04:04 AM

i am 27 and DH is 31. we had our first when i was 21 and he was 25! i'm so glad we waited for another, i feel ready for it this time : )

3isnotacrowd · #14 November 9th, 2007, 04:08 AM

I am 34, dh is 35.
I was 26 when we had our first.
This will be our 3rd and last.
Dh has a son that will soon be 16 from a previous marriage.

homemakermommy · #15 November 9th, 2007, 04:27 AM

I'm 32yo dh will be 31 on Dec 1st. I had my first dd a wk before I turned 18yo then I had a 9 year gap before I had another. This will be #4 and our last because we origionally agreed on 3 but dh wanted one more and I said yes but I am definately done after this.

Butter · #16 November 9th, 2007, 04:29 AM

I am 29 and Jamie will be 32 a week from Monday (19th).
This is our fourth baby. I was 21 and Jamie was 24 when Ani was born.
We want at least four, probably 6. I'd have more if my pregnancies weren't so crappy. We just love kids and having them around.

lisa74 · #17 November 9th, 2007, 04:41 AM

Glad to see I'm not the only older first timer. I'm 33 and DH is 37. The baby is due on my birthday so I will either be still 33 or just 34!

All of my friends have already had kids too but MOST of them are older and I am maybe 1-2 years older than they were when they had kids, it's just that it's been what seems like forever. Oh well, last but not least, right?

ttc1012 · #18 November 9th, 2007, 04:45 AM

I am 26 and DH is 33-this is our first-although 3 angels.....we dont really know how many we want to have-depends how everything goes....we feel very fortunate how well this pregnancy is going so far, so we'll see.......

greeneyedchaos · #19 November 9th, 2007, 05:00 AM

Geesh I guess I am the youngest one so far! I am 22 and will be 23 in December so 23 when the baby is born, and DH is also 22 and will be 23 in February. This is our first and hopefully I would like at least one more maybe two... we'll see how the first one goes! I would like them within 2-3 years apart from each other!
