I have two kiddos - one girl and one boy. And I'm most definitely done - had a tubal after my son was born. I love 'em more than anything, but two is definitely enough for me...lol.
 
dh and i have 3 and we are done. :) i love the idea of adoption later down the road so we shall see what life brings us.
 
3 for us, 2 boys and a girl. We're definitely done now.

I adore my 3 and I know I'll miss the baby stage soon, but I'm starting to look forward to the days when they're a bit older and more independent. You know, when there won't be 2 in diapers and I don't have 2 nappers to work the schedule around and I can leave the house alone for longer than an hour. Jason starts full day K next month and Ben will be in preschool 4 mornings, so I'm starting to feel like there's some freedom (and a chance to actually get things done!) coming soon. I just can't imagine starting over again with a 4th.
 
We have three and I am undecided if we are done. Garret says yes..and I am done for the time being, but I am way too young to decide I am done for good. We both would like to adopt at some point if finances allow. :)

ETA: we have two boys (5 and 3) and a girl (1). I would love for Stella to have a sister....*sigh*

I have 2 girls. 9 and almost 6. I love my girls but I really want another. He really wants a boy and I want another regardless if it is a boy or girl. So we will see what the future brings!
 
We have 2 boys and are done biologically but we're looking into adoption from foster care next year. We'd like one more child, but are open to 2 siblings. The catch is I'd like a child younger than my 2 so we could be waiting awhile.

that is so cool, stacey! best of luck!!! :wub:
 
3 little boys here, ages 5, 3 and 19 months.

Most likely, there will be a fourth child in about two years, hopefully a little girl! :p
 
I have 5!
Amanda is 15 and a blessing.
Bryan is 13 and he is an angry guy.
Sara is 11 and a handfull. I was done after Sara, had my tubes tied.
Then I married Andy and he wanted one of his own. So I did in vitro.
Natalie and Derek are 5 and I am so beyond done. I don't even have the "ooh baby" anymore. And it is sad because all my friends are just starting thier families and I don't find it cute.
 
We have three now. :wub: Not sure how many we'll have altogether, but with them each being about 3 years apart, it makes it really easy to say that I'm happy to welcome more and more! :D I get pregnant, recover from early baby-dom, start to loose weight, enjoy the toddler stage and just when they start to get pretty independent, I get knocked back on to the couch with morning sickness again. Not a bad cycle. LOL!

We have 2 boys, 1 and 2, and I want one more, but DH does not. I'm pretty sure I'll win. And then we'll be done, I just feel like one more would be complete.

Girl, girl, girl! That's what I'm rooting for! :thumbup: I'm sure you'll win. Like he can stay away? Babies happen. ;) Don't tell him I said that. :blink:
 
One! It took over 2 years to get pregnant, then had a traumatic pregnancy and birth, so we were advised not to have more :(, and we decided to listen. I know we were right to follow advice, but sometimes....

Still, the one we have is handful enough!
 
2 for us (9 y/o boy and almost 14 y/o girl). We're definitely done unless some freak miracle comes along. I had really bad pregnancies and deliveries. The first sucked horribly, but the second sucked AND broke my heart because of the impact on my daughter. I just couldn't do it again. I was open to the idea of adoption to expand our family 'cause I really feel we've been blessed, but I never felt it was the right thing to pursue for us after all.
 
Let me just say to those of you who might consider adoption, you should definitely look into it! I have one of each -- one adopted and one bio-baby and while the processes were obviously different, they were both equally rewarding and fantastic ways to build a family. If I were to add another kid, it would definitely be by adoption.
 
We definitely plan to adopt! We started researching a little earlier this year. We want a little Asian girl. But, China you have to be 30, Hong Kong & Korea are both only 25. So, that's puts us at next June starting the process! We've both always wanted to adopt and we absolutely cannot wait! Dawn, everytime I see pictures of your daughter & Melissa's (mlewis) daughter, my heart just absolutely melts! Only 299 days til we can start! :wub:
 
We have one boy and will have at least one more baby. Probaby no more than 3 though. If we have a girl next, we might be done, but if we have another boy I will probably want to try for 3. :)
 
We have three and since they are all teenagers, we are SO done!

ETA: We have one handsome 16 yo son, and our darling daughters are 15 and 13.

...but I'll be 40 in 2 weeks so I'm not sure how likely that is.

i hear you, Tracy! if you were to ask me even a month ago if I wanted another my answer was "H _ _ _ no!"... but there's some sort of baby explosion happening among my friends and family right now... nearly 6 babies due within the next year... and now the baby bug has definitely taken a Big Bite out of me... So Not Good!!

we have a 2.5 yo., but another baby at 38? seriously? and that's even if God is gracious to grant us another miracle - my plumbing is not the greatest, shall we say... i can't even believe i'm writing this down and admitting to this...

I have 4 with 2 on the way so by year end we'll have 6.

We always said we wanted 4 and we were very content with our 4. DH is a huge procrastinator though and didn't get in for his snip snip - so now we have surprise twins on the way! Although the pregnancy and the twins part - were real shockers - we have now hit the part where we are just so excited to be adding to our family again. A lot of our friends have teased us about our oops pregnancy but we are already glad that DH put off his surgery.

(of course he'll be having it now or there will be no nookie again ever LOL)

that's me..except it's 2 years and I forgot the lose the baby weight part lol
 
3-6 (to life) hahahaha!

Srsly, it can be a madhouse around here sometimes. There are never less than 3 kids in the house. When they are all home it can get interesting to say the least. Every day during the witching hours (aka late afternoon transition to making dinner/baths/bedtime) you would think this place is a zoo!
 
I have 1, a nearly 3 year old boy. We haven't decided yet if we are done. I waver so much. Some days I am convinced I am done and other days I know I want another. lol If we do decide to have another it won't be for another 2years most likely. Much bigger gap then most, but I don't see myself being ready for a bit. If we have another, we would like to adopt.

And I figure, what if we have another one, and that one is a girl as well? Where will it end? I know someone who wanted a girl so bad, they ended up with six boys. And then they gave up..

My sister has 4 girls for the same thing. :blink:
 
i have two girls - one almost 3 years old and one that is almost 6 months :) i'm 95% sure we're going to try for another next year .... and maybe one after that if things go well with the 3rd pregnancy. i'm getting older (38 now) and lost one baby in between my two - so i'm not sure how many we'll be able to have ... i'd LOVE twins next so that i can have 4 in total :) (although i know that it would be HARD!! LOL :) )
 
i have 2, DS is 2.5 and DD is 6.5months (they are 22 months apart)

we struggled with infertility for 4 years. i have APAS, so i have to inject heparin 3x a day the duration of each pregnancy (not fun)

we have not decided if we want more. i want 1 more, while i'm still young enough hehe
 
We have 1 - a boy and he just turned 4 this month. We definitely want more, at least one maybe two, but am currently battling PCOS and we are not having any luck. It can be real discouraging from time to time. We haven't really talked too much about adoption, but if I don't get prego in the next year, we may consider it.
 
We have 1 boy, just 3 in June. I definitely want one more but the DH isn't on board. "We don't have room, money, etc. . ." I tell him if that most of the times that is the case for everyone, but we could manage. I would like to have another boy soon. My brother and I are 9 years apart and I don't want that much of a gap at all. :thumbdown:

I've got two, and we're done - at least until they figure out a way for boys to have babies.. SO wants another one, he wants a boy (both ours are girls), but I am so done. My youngest has just finished using nappies, and I love the thought that I never have to change a nappy again unless I want to:)

And I figure, what if we have another one, and that one is a girl as well? Where will it end? I know someone who wanted a girl so bad, they ended up with six boys. And then they gave up..

LOL no doubt! I had 3 boys in a row (sis had 3 girls in a row)...my middle niece offered to trade her baby sister for the baby boy in our house! LOL I looked at dh's aunt...she had 5 boys in a row...no thanks! We're done! lol
