    Considering we've had infertility problems (my husband and I), I'd settle on just having one. Ideally though, I'd love 3 - in any mixture I could get them - boys, girls, or boys and girls. Wouldn't matter to me! :) I like this thread!

    I would love to have 2 children. A boy and a girl, but whatever I am blessed to have would make me happy. DH and I are trying to have a child so whatever happens, happens.

    Ideally, I'd love 7. Stopping just short of that though.

    We have 6 daughters. I wouldn't mind having another little one. However, to keep my wife sane, I'm fixed. :happy:

    I have 7, 4 boys and 3 girls........boy, girl, boy girl, boy, girl, boy.....They are all grown now, youngest will be 25 this year, oldest will be 44........I was scorned after my third, but so glad that I accepted the challenge to care for all that were sent....I love each one, and can not imagine how life could have been without them all..... My joy! Each one a special individual adding many gifts and talents to our troubled world!!!


    I wouldn't have traded my experiences for all the money in the world......I am indeed rich, not in the temporal sense, but rich beyond measure.

    This brought tears to my eyes! Beautiful :flowerforyou:

    I have two "kids," ages 22 and 24, both boys. Or should I say men? I am ready for grandchildren that I can spoil rotten and then send home:laugh:

    I always wanted a little girl, but I think God knew what he was doing. If we had a daughter, my husband would have spoiled her rotten. He already does it with our nieces.

    none ;D I'm 37 and people STILL tell me " Oh, you will change your mind some day!!". I've been hearing this since I was 12 years old. Maybe by the time Im 60 people will stop saying it lol.

    I feel your pain! I also knew from a young age I didn't want children, but people are adamant you'll change your mind. It really offends some people to think that a woman never wants kids!

    Awwe... My heart goes out to you. I've seen some couples try for years, and when it finally happens it's the greatest feeling ever. Trying without results can be devastating, and sometimes discouraging. But keep at it and your prayers will be answered. Stay strong! I wish you and your partner all the best. :)

    But trying is just so much fun...... ;)

    We just have our son, it would have been nice to try for another, but my health issues would make it dangerous for both me and the baby if we were to try again... All well, I find delight in other peoples babies and I'm pretty much bulletproof now to those scornful women who preach to me about how wrong it is to raise a single child... Lol, there are more out there than you may think.

    There's always adoption.

    Between 0-2. But I got at least 7+ years maybe before I even think about having at least one.

    I wanted four or five kids initially, but I have three little girls. Four, two, and nine months. I always wanted little girls, and I wanted them to be close in age as my brother and I are five years apart. I would have liked to have a little boy as well, but it's not gonna happen. My husband got snipped!

    Also, we're both in school working on our undergraduate degrees and I don't think we would want to start back over in five or six years. My mom joked that I was young enough to be on a reality show if we kept going, but it sure gets expensive lol

    I wanted two and got two. A 4 yr old boy named Quentin, and a 11 month old girl named Lydia. Very happy with my kiddos. : )

    I have one, any really only want 1 or 2! My husband on the other hand would love 4 or 5, coming from a big family :)

    We wanted 4. Didn't know that just getting to 1 would be a miracle in 2 ways.

    I'm considered infertile but he's here, that's miracle #1.

    #2....he was born with multiple medical issues and is now completely healthy.

    I am pretty sure we won't have anymore natural children but adoption is not out of the question. Once you sit in an adoption agency and see a HUGE 4 inch binder full of waiting kids who are free and clear wards of the state.....yeah, that pretty much never leaves you. :sad:

    I keep going back and forth between the idea of not having any, or having around three. But I'm still young, so really, I don't have to worry about any of that for a while. Which is so nice. XD

    I have 3 little boys, aged 5, 2 and a half and 10 months. They are absolutely gorgeous. I have always wanted 5 kids - lots of boys - but would be nice to add a bit of pink too! I currently want 5 or 6. I'm 26 and I don't want any after I'm 32 (it used to be 30, but I'm extending my limit). I look a lot younger than 26 (not nice young, as in get mistaken for a pupil in the school I teach) so people are usually amazed that I have 3 already! I'm also pretty small so have heard on more than one occasion that those babies must have killed my pelvis (which is true!). My fiance says we can have 4, 5 is still to be negotiated :-)
