This is #3 for us and we are DONE DONE DONE!! No probablies, or maybies for us! DH is getting a V when this babe comes. I feel very good about this being my last PG - I didn't feel that way after DD2. Just like mytwogals, I have wanted three ever since her birth. But after I started school I just put it out of my mind - I never accepted that we were done, but I couldn't afford to think about it. Now my body has had to take matters into its own hands! This baby was a total surprise. I think I'll get my belly casted this time since this will be the last chance I'll have!

no regrets

This is #3 for us, and we hope to have more. I am the oldest of 9 (spanning 22 years) and I love it!!! Don't know that we're shooting for 9, but ... don't want to look back, either, and feel that we've short changed ourselves.

This is number 2 for us, I originally wanted 3 during my first pregnancy but now, with how bad I feel during pregnancy, I think this will be my last. I make no guarentees, but right now, saying this will be my last.

#2! (And my first is only 9 months!!!) and I can't wait to get pregnant again! I want 5 total, but hubby is another story!!!! He's still trying to adjust to the fact that in a few months we'll have a 1 year old and a new baby!

This is our 2nd and last. I wasn't sure if I even was ready for a 2nd and well this one decided it was ready to be born. So now that I am used to the idea, we've decided that after the baby is born dh is getting "the big snip". It's always been our deal. I took care of bc for years and now it's his turn, lol.

#2...we'd like more, definitely. Once we're settled in our new house we're going to start fostering kids and then try for 2 more biological a few years later.

This is the big numero uno for me but I DEFINATELY want at LEAST one, maybe two more. But seeing as it took almost 3 years and lots of intervention to get this one I don't know if I will get that or if I will just have to be satisfied...But I am from 4 and my husband from 5 and we can't imagine only ONE so fingers crossed!

#1 for me too. We definitely want 2... I always thought I wanted 4 or so, DH thinks he just wants 2... we're going to re-evaluate after #2.

This is a great thread!

Second (hopefully) live birth, third child altogether.

If this is a healthy, living baby, we're done. It is too, too stressful to do the whole waiting-and-worrying bit with a genetic disorder.

And honestly, even if I lose this babe, I may be done anyway-- there is a whole big world out there beyond babies that's waiting for me. Though DH really has his heart set on raising two kids... so we'll cross that bridge if/when we come to it.

I think this may be my last pregnancy, totalling two kiddos. But really I want 3. I have a glimmer of hope that I may be pregnant with twins again and then I would have my 3. The ultrasound it tomorrow. . .

Dh does not think we can afford 3 unless I go back to work. I don't think I could work with 3! can't manage with 1!!!!!

REally though, for those of you with 2 or 3 or more children, is there a great cost difference between 2 and 3? Certainly saving for post sec. school, but anything else that troubles you?

Thanks!

For us the big expense is a new car, and school in the future since they will most likely go to private schools (not sure if we're up for homeschooling yet).

I answered two, because if all goes well this will be *child* number two. But it's pregnancy number 6, baby number 6. I've miscarried four times.

#4 for us and most likely our last. I would love more but dh doesn't want more. I told him to get fixed then!

#2. 1 and 2 will be about 9 years apart so DH had said that he either wanted no more kids (i.e. just #1) or 2 more closer in age, so chances are we'll have a 3rd as well.
