Since I asked a baby question yesterday I figured I would continue the trend for today.. Have you and FH discussed how many kids you would like to have? Do you know how long you are going to wait ot have babies? Do you plan on moving once you start having children? Feel free to insert any baby question in your response!

We would like to have no more than 2, and are hoping to start in about 4-5 years! We're not ready to be parents just yet, we are still enjoying each other and our time together!

Re: QOTD 4/9/09
FH and I would like to have 2-3 children.. We wanted to start trying to have a baby a year after the wedding but certain circumstances are preventing that from happening which is getting on my nerves big time now...I would like to move to Westchester once I have kids but I am sure that will never happen at this rate because I am not a millionaire! Maybe one day...a girl can dream!

Re: QOTD 4/9/09
we would like to wait a decent amount of time. probably 4 years (i'm 26 now).
i would like to move from state to federal government before we start a family, and we also would like to have a single-family home before we start.
as for moving, i have NO CLUE what i'm doing with children so i really hope to be close to my parents and the FILs, as they are both really great with kids. so we'd most likely stay on LI.
anyone else kind of petrified about the whole ordeal?? i mean, i just have no clue how to act around kids and babies... it should be very interesting to see how it all works out.

We want two - we already know we're going to buy his dad's house and it's a three bedroom so it's perfect for two kids.

Re: QOTD 4/9/09
we would like to start right away even though we r not really ready financially or have a house but being a young parent means more to me and we have a ton of family so i can still work and not have to pay for daycare ... we would like 2 kids

Re: QOTD 4/9/09
2 because I am an only child and hate it, well most of the time, and he is one of three and thinks that is to many.
I want to start trying after a year of marriage, he wants to wait until I have found a job and am tenured, yeah thats not going to happen, since i am 29 now.
Our new house can fit a family of four no problem, so no we probably won't move first, not unless I can't find a job or he needs to be back in CT.

Re: QOTD 4/9/09
FH wants 6! I would be fine with 2-4 lol. Again we differ on when to have them. I could wait a year or so. FH would adore a honeymoon baby! We're planning on moving after the wedding to a place that will have more room so we're ready when we do have a baby.

Re: QOTD 4/9/09
I want at least 2, fh wants 2. I can't wait to have children!! but we want to wait til we are financially ready - which is def not now lol! prob like a year after we get married. i wanted to go to hawaii for our hm, but money and time was def an issue, and fh was not into the trip, so he promised that we would go for our 1 yr anniv, so thats our joke, we'll make a baby in hawaii!! lol

Re: QOTD 4/9/09
I know I want one, FH wants two. . I would want two but I'm also older and just don't know if I have it in me (so to speak ) we will prob start trying 6 months after the wedding and I don't think we'll move unless we win the lotto!

Re: QOTD 4/9/09
We are not sure yet if we will head down the baby path. Although we've been together for 10 years, we really only feel like we are starting to live our lives now. I'm almost 31 (he's 29) so I guess I need to keep my age in mind, but babies are just not high on our priority list. We've said that we will address the topic again in a few years (or sooner if my clock does ever start ticking). If we do have children we'd need to move (I'd like to move regardless) and a big change for me then would be that I'd change my last name (I will obv not be changing it when married). I am definitely getting tired of the strange look I get when we tell people we don't know if kids are for us

Re: QOTD 4/9/09
Ideally I think we would like to have 2. We both seem OK with that number. I would love to start trying the day after we get married LOL ... but FH would like to wait at least a year. We'll see. We live in a very spacious one bedroom co-op now so we can stay there with one baby for awhile ... but we will move as the baby gets a bit older. We will probably move back to Nassau (we are in Queens right now). But I can't WAIT!

We'd like 2 kids and will wait about 1-2 years after we get married.

Re: QOTD 4/9/09
I said 3 or 4 he said 2 or 3. Haha! So It seems like 3 is the number! Mind you this is BEFORE I experience the labor and birth and all that stuff! I JUST PRAY FOR REALLY GOOD DRUGS! I'm NOT one of those people who run around saying 'I'm doing it natrual blah blah'.. NO F'IN WAY MAN! Actually, my real plan is to lie when they ask if I can feel things.. I'm going to be like nope I can still feel that.. need more drugs please! I don't wnat that to wear off for like days!!! HAHAHAHA!!! Ok that was a little exaggeration but you get the point!
Iwould like to have them right away so I can stop working.. but most likely not going to happen. FH needs to get settled with work and make more money (he jsut started like a year ago and needs 5 years to make a decent salary).. but I can't wait 5 years.. so between now and BEFORE 5 years! We also want to buy a house upstate.. in the Rockland County, Pearl River area! Can't wait for that to happen! We would like to have our house before we start popping out fockers... but I'm ok with having a lil one in my apt now then moving when he or she turns like 2 or 3 depending on when he or she arrives!

Re: QOTD 4/9/09
I wanted to have 3 children but FH kept bugging that he only wants 2 so 2 it will be. We are going to wait probably 3 years. We are going to try to actually move right after the wedding to get our own place.

Re: QOTD 4/9/09
I would like no more than 2 and FH feels the same but if those 2 babies are girls then I was told we are going to try until we have a boy
FH would LOVE to have a baby tomorrow but realistically we will wait until after we come back from the HM. I would say we are going to wait until we are financially ready but that will never happen...IMO you are never finacially ready to have a child. We already have a house, so marriage and babies are the next steps. My only concern is child care after I have to go back to work from Maternity. We can't afford for me to stay home and I don't really like the fact that I will have to place the baby in daycare...but what can you do, ya know.

Re: QOTD 4/9/09
We would like at least two, possibly 3. We like the idea of 3 because we like that at least 2 of the kids would have a compatriot. At least that's how it worked out with his family, I have 2 sisters and not like that lol. We will probably wait 2 years to start having kids, because I'm still pretty young, and we would like to enjoy our privacy and have a home and travel. I don't think we'll move, because we're hoping to get a house right away. If we end up with an appartment, then we'd move.

Re: QOTD 4/9/09
We would like to have 2 or 3, God willing. He wants to wait a year, but I've got news for him, we're gonna try to have a honeymoon baby We have plenty of room where we live now so it wouldn't be a problem to wait to get a house but I'd prefer to have a house before baby comes.

Re: QOTD 4/9/09
We said we'd like to wait a year but should it happen before hand that is fine.
FH is a sports fan and says he wants a 'starting 5' meaning 5 children! My response is, lets start with 1 and see how that goes. Most likely I see us with 2 kids and a dog at most.
We would def move before starting a family, our 2 bedroom apt can barely containour own crap let alone all the paraphernalia that comes with a baby.
