What better way to celebrate my 500th post than to post my last question as BOTW! Thanks again LadyReeRee! I'll be announcing the next BOTW a little later.
First comes love, then comes marriage, then... you remember the rest! We're all planning like crazy for our perfect day next year, but the next step after the wedding is typically starting a family of your own!
How soon after the wedding do you want to start a family and how many kids do you want?
I definitely want to enjoy the newlywed phase for awhile after I get married, but I also don't want to wait too long to start a family. I'll be 28 when I get married, and I'd like to have my first child no later than 30. My mom had a lot of difficulty having children and I'm concerned that I could have the same problem.
As for how many, if I can get one of each on the first two tries, then that'll be perfect for me, otherwise no more than three. I especially want a boy, so I'm kind of hoping the boy comes first!
I'll be 27 on our wedding day and I'd like to wait at least 2 years before we have kids.
We want 2 kids, maybe 3.
I have a twin brother and I'd loooove to have twins, but it skips a generation in my family. My grandfather was a twin. So, my grandchildren will probably be twins. But hey, you never know

We will be 27/26 on our wedding day and want to wait at least a year minimum before we start thinking about kids (I want to be able to celebrate my 1 yr anniversary with drinks!)
We are thinking 2-3, but we will see what life gives us!

I will be 27 and want to wait until we are 29 to have babies! We've been together 9 years but, I want a house before we have babies! 2017 for me :)

We plan to wait until 30-32ish. We will be 27 & 28 when we get married and want to enjoyed married life and purchase a house before we take that step.

FH and I have been talking about this a lot and I think the general consensus is that we will wait 1-2 years before we start trying. And what I would really rather do is just stop taking the pill and see what happens, I don't want to stress too much about it. FH wants two kids and ideally I really want to have twins so we can get it over and done with in one shot! haha I would love to have twins girls but we obviously just want to have healthy children. I will be 25 on our wedding day, FH will be 31, and I want to be done by the time I'm 30.
For now, we have our fur baby! He's a Havanese named Carlos and he is just the cutest thing. I'm a little obsessed with him

I'm graduating in May and we don't live together yet, so I told him I would like to start trying once I turn 30 - about 3 years after the wedding. I want to have some time to enjoy each other and living together and travel before we start a family. I also want to go back and get my ABA certification, and I don't want to be pregnant while I'm in school, not that there's anything wrong with it, but I know I wouldn't give school 100% if I was planning out a nursery! Plus, with ABA I can make my own hours and it will be easier to stay at home. I have 3 nephew's and FH's sister is due in April, so we'll just borrow those kiddies for a little while .
