How many children do you want?

Original post by The Original 2nd-time-around

When I was a little girl, I always wanted LOTS of kids . Before Cassidy was born, I was pretty certain that she'd be my last. DH desperately wants another, and since she's been born, I'm seriously considering 1 more. If it weren't for $$$, I'd say yes 100%.
I just don't know if I can see myself with 3 kids. It sounds like so many

2. I always said that I wanted 2 boys - but now that I feel like I'm having a girl I'm so excited by that. If we have 2 and they're both girls I'd try for a boy with #3. But that's the limit!!!

I want at least 2. Probably 3. Right now, DH only wants 2. Finances would be the problem like they are now. We have our son now who's almost 14 months old, then I would like another son, and then a little girl. Of course I'd be happy with either, but this way lil' sis has big brother's to look after her! I can't wait until we can TTC #2!

I would like 2, ideally a boy than a girl. But if they are both the same sex I don't think I would try for # 3.

I don't want to sound rude, but, do you and/or your dh make very good money? I just ask because we have 2 children and money gets tight at times. No, we are not making tons of money, probably low to some people but we are definately not poor.
It is also not just finances but how much time and energy you can give to each child. I have a problem with 2 children and could not imagine having more and someone being left out.
Just asking. Don't want to upset anyone.

My dh and I want two children. We have a girl now, and when baby two comes I don't really have a preference. I just pray the second pregnancy goes as smooth as the first. I'd like them to be about two and half years apart.

2... As FH says... 'Never let the kids outnumber you' And I think I agree.

I would like 3, dh wants 2. We will definitely have 2 and then see how we feel, but 3 would be ideal for me.
