How many LO's do you want total?

[natalieadw]

I'm just curious about this! I want four altogether, and DH is feeling the same I used to want only two (before Bella), but after realizing I love being a mother, I had to up that number a little!

[natalieadw]

And can anyone tell I have TOTAL MOMMY BRAIN! I voted for two because that's how many I have now (Bella and baby on the way), but I meant to hit 4.


Hi my name is Natalie, and I have two brain cells left, and they seem to be fighting:

[Mrs-Mama]

I voted for 4 even though we haven't completely decided yet. Definitely 3, but very possibly 4.

[hannybanany]

I voted 5.

We would love to have 4-5.

[Bella Catalina]

I voted for 5 and 6... we will see...

It was a stretch for us to decide to have #3. We were both sitting on the fence. As our two get older and more independent it is easy to see why having only two would be nice and easy.

But now #3 is on his/her way!!

Yes! #3 is wanted and tried for, but I have to admit that I'm a little freaked out!

just an observation that some of you who said you voted for 4 or more currently have one child / one and pregnant...

noting because i always thought i wanted 3 and now that i have 2, while i *do* romanticize about 3, the reality of juggling these 2 makes me realize that i'm not sure i have the capacity for a 3rd.

do any of you wonder or consider that you might change your mind once you have more than one?

(this is asked from a place of total curiosity only....)

I often wonder how I'm going to juggle two, nonetheless 4, most days! So who knows what I'll feel. My good friend has four kids under 5, and while it is a bit crazy, it works just perfect for them

[Carolann S]

We're still undecided. I say 2-3 but dh is thinking only 2. We'll see what happens after this one is born. How easy/hard it will be to have 2 will determine if they have any more siblings.

[buckysprplmonkey]

I've always wanted 4, but I'm having a hard time convincing DH that this one (#3) doesn't have to be the last. I guess we'll just take it one baby at a time!

[knittinmama]

3... pretty certain we are finished after this one!

[~Jenna~]

I'm not really sure how many we want. Def. 3, maybe 4. The older my other two get, the easier they are, so we'll have to see after #3 comes.

[Erlaine]

I didn't vote...I think we'll wait till we have the first one and see what kind of parents we are.

How many LO´s you want total?

I vodet 3

[bemommy]

As soon as I found I out was surprisingly pregnant I told DH that it was time for the big snip. I'm happy with the 2 I already have a third is fine but no more please.

[kitkat5505]

I ovted 6, we've always said we want 5-6, but really we just take it one kid at a time and are happy with whatever God gives us.

[knittinmama]

I felt that I wanted three, and DH was iffy...but now we are having our third!

[Elowyn]

I've always wanted four, but given what it takes to get me pregnant, well...maybe three. Or two. I'm really disinclined to stop with one, though.
