We fluctuate a lot...but at least a year before we start trying maybe two...even though i am 28 I am not ready right now.....
I would love three...but I am pretty sure we will have just two.
ETS- Give your age in your response.

I am sure whatever you decide it will be right for you...
the right decision for me- is to go to bed... I'm pooped.
Have a good night..

Re: NWR-How Long are you and DH going to wait....
I am 24-FH is 26. We plan on waiting, I would like to be 90% finished with my Master's.(1-2years)
I would like to be 'finished' having children by the time I am 30. I don't know if this will happen. I would like to have my no longer than 2-3 years apart. I want them to be very close to eachother

Re: NWR-How Long are you and DH going to wait....
We are definately going to wait a few years. We are so young and we want to enjoy some of our time together before we start having children. When we do have children, I want to have them close together. FH and his siblings are all very close in age and they are very close together. They went through similar experiences and were always there for eachother. Though I'm close to my siblings, we're not all that close and I feel that it is because of the gaps in our ages. JMO though.

Re: NWR-How Long are you and DH going to wait....
I'll be 32 when we get married...so tick tock...but honestly I'm not ready - not sure if I ever will be. I always envisioned the 2 kids a boy and girl...older boy and about 2-3 years apart...but I never quite envisioned them being mine
Not against it, but not ready...

Re: NWR-How Long are you and DH going to wait....
I'm 24 and not at all maternal (except to my animals, which doesn't count too much). So, we're going to wait at least 6 years after the wedding when I will--cross your fingers--be a partner at my firm and a little more in control of my own schedule. We think we're only going to have 1 if we have a boy first, but I think being an only child might be lonely.

I know this is really selfish, but part of me just wants FH to have our own life as husband and wife for a few years and I love having him all to myself

Re: NWR-How Long are you and DH going to wait....
I am so petrified of having children that I really have no clue. FH and I have of course discussed it and we are pretty much in the same boat. We would consider not having children at all, or having at least one and then take it from there. We will wait at LEAST 2-3 years if not more... I am still in my mid-twenties so I'm hoping that as I get older I will develop a maternal instinct since I don't really seem to have one now!

Re: NWR-How Long are you and DH going to wait....
I will be 30 when we get married, so although I'd like to wait 2 years, I doubt that will happen. FH is 33 and doesn't want to be 40 when we are still having kids.
We want 2 or 3. Depends on the sexes. We'd like a boy and a girl.
On the subject of spacing... I am 17 months older than my brother and it is GREAT! It was like being twins. He is my best friend (now - wasn't always) and always knows what I'm thinking.
I'd like to have my kids rapid fire if I can.

Re: NWR-How Long are you and DH going to wait....
i plan on waiting about 2-3 years. i am only 23 and though i love my nieces and nephews so much and everyone tells me i will make a great mom, i dont feel i'm ready for my own kids yet.
i want 2 children, and i want them no more than 2-3 years apart from each other.

Anyway- haven't you heard- 30 is the new 20!!!
That's awsome..never heard it put quite that way. We will both be 25.I am hoping to wait until 28 to 30. I don't feel either of us are ready and I really want to enjoy being married..maybe get a dog then start thinking about a family.

Re: NWR-How Long are you and DH going to wait....
I'm turning 33 a month after our wedding, and FH will be 31 3 months after our wedding. He'd be tickled pink if I got pregnant on our honeymoon, but I'd like a year of marraige before I get pregnant.

Re: NWR-How Long are you and DH going to wait....
We would like to start trying about a year after we are married. We want 2-3 kids. I would like one before I am 30 and at least trying for the second 2-3 years later. We are both 25 so it would be perfect.

Re: NWR-How Long are you and DH going to wait....
We plan on waiting 2 years also. I would like 4 children. 2 girls and 2 boys hopefully. I would also like to have twins. I always wanted too. I believe my family on both sides had them. They say it skips a generation, so who knows I might just have them

Re: NWR-How Long are you and DH going to wait....
We want to wait about 4 or 5 years after we're married, I'd like to have the first one when I'm 27 or 28, the second one at about 30 :)
The most important thing is that I have a house though. I want my kids to have a yard to run around in.
I can't wait to have kids though - I've been working summers with infants in a day care and i absolutly love it - when i left the first summer i was bawling - I had spent 8 hours a day for 3 months with these babies, it was almost like I was leaving my own kids!

Re: NWR-How Long are you and DH going to wait....
We'll probably wait 2 years and then have 2.
If for any reason we can't, I'd like to adopt 1.
ETA: We're 33 now, so we won't start trying until we're 35.
