2010-02-02T02:18:25.078-05:00

I am the same way - I'd like to have 2 more kids and preferably twins (yes, I'm making an order LOL). I have 2 kids already and have a boy and a girl too! If we had the money and my husband would afford me to stay home, we would. And it would be my choice BUT for now. I'm good! I still stare at pregnant bellies wishing that was me or newborn babies because I wish I had a baby to hold

2010-01-29T21:54:31.592-05:00

Not to worry about your husband. He will support you either way and be happy doing it!

Just put it in God's hands. We thought we were done after a boy and a girl too. Then, 7 years later...SURPRISE!

It's changed our lives and neither one of us can imagine life without the baby now!

2010-01-29T14:10:13.665-05:00

I don't have any kids (yet) so I'm not like an "authority" on the subject.

But I do know that I want kids. And I want as many as my infertile womb can hold.

I'm not worried about money right now, because frankly...my husband will be a nurse, and I can be a SAHM (doing blog design of course) and even if we aren't RICH...we'll be fine.

2010-01-29T13:42:12.395-05:00

We are done at two. I wanted more but my husband wanted two. I told him I'd compromise with three. Then I had horrific pregnancies that ended up preemie babies and I decided I was done. I cannot be that sick again. My poor body can't do it. So under doctor recommendation and support, I had a tubal with my last c-section.

I am sad to be done. I wish I could have enjoyed

2010-01-29T11:05:53.982-05:00

If he is a good and loving father to the two you have he will also love and care for the third.

We have one and tried and tried for another but it never happened. Two is what I wanted, but Gods plan for me is different and we are fine with that.

2010-01-29T09:12:17.314-05:00

Well, I'm here from the other spectrum of life...I'm 49 and I'm almost sure we're done (unless God's humor surpises us)! We had six, and at the birth of the last one, I finally felt 'my quiver was full'. I was content and not wanting any more so went in for a tubal. Major complication to anesthesia and almost dying kept that from happening so I am still able to bear

2010-01-29T08:18:14.412-05:00

interesting post. I think it depends on your emotional and physical capacity to care and love on each child that comes along. There is always a way around the money issue. I'm the oldest of six and was so tired of being around babies that when I met my hubby we both agreed to wait to start our own family. we were married 9 years when our first child was born last summer. love her to death,

2010-01-29T01:54:35.905-05:00

My husband wants three. I want AT LEAST four, but I'm thinking I might not even stop there.

I do say that I want to be done having kids by the time I'm 30, but we'll see what happens once I get there.

2010-01-29T00:54:08.697-05:00

We're exactly where you are. DH wanted only 2 - he was a middle child and really suffered for it, and so he felt very strongly about it. But at the same time I could just see us with a big family and loving it. But when it came down to it I could tell he felt more strongly about only wanting 2 kids than I did about wanting more. So I respected that decision. And I still do. And frankly,

2010-01-28T23:29:36.272-05:00

It's a hard one this one. We have three boys. We'd love to have another but there are too many reasons why we can't right now. Maybe in the future.

2010-01-28T23:04:53.099-05:00

oh my Dee.... are you my long lost twin??? I'm right with you.... a girl and a boy. thinking i could be done, but often times wanting more. my kids are 20 months apart and i love it.

BUT, i'm a working mom. it's so much harder working. if i was a SAHM, i probably would have another one soon, but working is tough.

I'm asking myself the same questions right now...

2010-01-28T22:34:31.792-05:00

I'm asking myself the same questions right now. It is so hard I believe as women to picture ever being done having babies. Yet I want to be a young mom. I don't know if we are done biologically or not, it is something we are still talking over.

2010-01-28T22:13:23.814-05:00

I had a boy then a girl and still wanted just one more and we had another boy. I was 19 when our first was born and 30 when our last was born. Age, money, and space, and now because of age, PATIENCE are an issue so we are done. I am perfectly happy with that but mostly because I am tired. It was a rough pregnancy and had problems and a hard painful labor and even at almost 16 months I still can&

2010-01-28T22:11:52.351-05:00

I've been told that when you're done you will know. So if you feel this perhaps you will have another! Your husband will love all of his children, no matter how many he has.

We just had our third daughter. I've teased husby about needing to try for a boy (not now but later) and he says he is fine with three but I know as the youngest gets older he will change his mind. We

2010-01-28T22:06:26.412-05:00

The same situation in our house. I'd like one more, but my husband says he is done. We are on our own independent health insurance, so our cost would go down a lot if we dropped maternity, and he got a vasectomy. I think he lost his want to have more kids because our oldest had a life threatening staph infection in the neck, due to an ear infection at 7 months and our youngest had life

2010-01-28T21:56:49.850-05:00

I have 2 boys, and would love more but not until they are in both in kindergarten at least. But then I think do I want 3 kids or should I have another afterwards so I have an even amount...my husband also would be happy with only our 2 boys but he would take as many as I want too!

2010-01-28T21:51:31.831-05:00

I can guarantee you that your husband will not resent a third child, he will love it just as much as the other two! Normal people love their children, even if they have more than they planned to have.
We have 7 and we would welcome 7 more if the Lord wills it. While money seems like a good reason not to have more, it has never been an issue after the children were born. Every time we opened

2010-01-28T21:46:37.883-05:00

I have twins, almost a year old and I would love 2 more. Ideally another set of twins. But Dh is done. We started late so not longer spring chickens. Makes me sad to know that we won't have any more biological children but we may adopt later on.

2010-01-28T20:51:31.380-05:00

It is a tough decision. I would have loved one more but my husband is happy with three. Despite at one point wanting another one, I do have that "my family is complete" feeling. Different from the "one is missing" feeling I used to have. That's kind of how I knew...

2010-01-28T18:02:43.983-05:00

I'm the oldest of 7 children and am pregnant with my first right now. Even though my little guy hasn't arrived yet I KNOW I want more. 3 more to be exact. Having a big family was/is amazing. Especially being the oldest. I think that if YOU were ready to stop having kids you would know. But at the same time my parents were done with numbers 3, 4, 5, 6, AND 7! We don't have the biggest

2010-01-28T17:34:00.444-05:00

I don't think you'll ever really know for sure...especially if you can see yourself with lots. I am 36 and I still think about it all the time, even though I think we are "done". You are so young, plenty of time....I always thought 3 was a nice number. :)

2010-01-28T15:53:59.351-05:00

I personally feel that your heart knows when you're done. You may have felt like Isabella was your last baby, but now you are second guessing. Maybe it's your conscience. :)
I have two, same age as your two, boy and girl. I told my husband when I was pregnant that I knew it wasn't my last pregnancy, and when it is, I'll need to know so that I can treat it differently. :)

2010-01-28T15:22:13.912-05:00

Maybe just give hubs some time to think about it ;) I can't wait to have #2 and the babe is only 7 months old (though it seems like she's much older...time just goes so fast!)! We're hoping for next year (me more than him, I think), but I guess we'll see. You could always put a plan together and present hubs with a slideshow...then maybe he'll come around :) (totally kidding..

2010-01-28T14:57:47.712-05:00

Oh my, this is something that I have been struggling with for the past few months.

I have a girl who is almost 5 and a son who is 15 months (we had trouble getting pregnant the second time around).

I always joked that I wanted 8 kids, but deep down a little part of me wasn't really joking. Although I know that 8 would be too overwhelming for me, a huge part of me wants

2010-01-28T13:56:10.629-05:00

I soooo understand! I have an 11 year old girl from a previous relationship, and a toddler son with my husband. I want another but hubby will not budge! I hate for my son to have only one sibling that is so much older. At time is almost makes me resent the fact that I married a man 10 years my senior.
