    Our first baby is due in November, and for the time being we're happy just to be blessed with this little one....

    I'd love another if we can though!

    I am very concerned about the OP though...... I am not sure MFP or motherhood is what she needs?????

    We have one of each; boy of 3 and girl of 2. They are both October babies.

    I had fertility treatment to conceive our son, our daughter was a huge shock as they are so close in age. 1year and 2 weeks to be exact.

    Our son is the image/temperment of my husband, our daughter is the image/temperment of me (feisty, angry, slams doors, great fun though!). One of each in every sense. They are a joy to be around (most of the time!)

    And we are done!!!!!!

    I would like to have three, but my husband only wants two. I told him that if he gives me one of each, I will leave him be! :smooched:

    Most people think im crazy, but for me I want twins.

    a boy and a girl and then i would probably want another boy :smile:

    They aren't an accessory or novelty item :grumble:

    Twins have a much higher risk to mom AND babies. Whatever negative things that can happen during pregnancy are risk x 2 with twins. The chances that they will be premature or developmentally delayed are higher.



    First off I am very aware that babies are not an accessory and am very disappointed that someone would assume that I would only want twins for that purpose. I love children and have always wanted lots of them. Second, I am very aware of all the risk that comes along with it and have done plenty of research on having twins.

    And why you would get on a simple playful thread and criticize my choice to say that I would like to have twins one day once I am married is simplely the craziest thing I have ever heard.

    You really should not judge someones intentions if you dont even know them:smile:

    2 or 3 but definitely want at least one girl - I'm very girly! I've told future hubby I won't stop until I get a girl but I really hope I don't end up with 8 boys and still trying for a girl!

    My family has three girls then a boy, his family has three boys then three girls. So maybe after three of the same sex, the fourth would be the opposite.

    How do you think it would affect your sons knowing you kept trying to have a girl?

    I want 2. I have one boy, so now I want my girl. I used to think I wanted 3 or 4 kids but then after actually becoming a mother, I think 2 will be just fine, LOL.

    I always thought I wanted a girl.. I've always been a bit girly, myself.. but I couldn't imagine not having my little boy. I had no idea how much I'd enjoy cars, trucks, snakes, lizards, bugs, etc. There is nothing else in the world like being a mom to a little boy :happy:

    I have 0.

    Still undetermined how many I want. Depends on many factors beyond my control at this time.

    I have two kids that are seven years apart which I find fantastic. I'd like more as I grew up with three other siblings and I loved it then as much as I love having all three of my siblings today. So, I guess I'd say I'd like two more if it works out that way but for now I'm enjoying the two I have as much as possible.

    Parenting is not for the faint of heart, nor is it for everyone and I have days where I think "What if?" But, at the end of the day when I kiss them both good night I'm reminded why I gave birth to them both.
