I have one boy, he's 3 now... I never knew I wanted him until I heard his heartbeat at that first doctor's appt. See, it took me over 4 years to have him, after years of being told it wasn't going to happen. So my defense was eventually, I convinced myself I didn't want any.... Well, when I heard his heartbeat, I just completely broke down and became "mommy." I do want more, maybe one more, but at my age, with my history, I don't think it's gonna happen. So I focus on the blessing that I have been given. Lamenting on what I want/can't or don't have will only take away from that focus.

I am done with having more children. Even though my spouse and I rarely spend time together we have 12 children. Kind of hard to believe for many people but it is true. They were adorable kids. There were highs and lows in bringing them up especially since my spouse and I are not on the same wavelength. So far one is working as an engine technician (aircraft), one in her final year in multimedia (degree), one in her final semester in accountancy (diploma), one doing matriculation at Taylor's University College, three in secondary school (K9, K10, K12 next year), three in primary school (K2, K6, K7). May the sun shines bright on your family.

Hi, sis! I have three sons and I have no plans of having more. Life nowadays is hard and my husband is the only one earning. So, that's it for us.

I have four daughters aged 20yrs, 19yrs, 13yrs and 12yrs. I have finished my family now and I am proud of my girls. Two have blonde hair and two have dark brown hair. I would of liked to have a son, but I would probably of had another ten girls in doing so. My eldest daughter gave birth to our beautiful grandson ten weeks ago. I am over the moon and he is spoilt and loved so much. A little boy in our family at last.

I have one son who is soon to be turning 5. He began Pre K this year. When I first had him I thought that one day I would want another child but along the mother's path I have taken I have since changed my mind and no longer believe I want any more children. I am happy with my son and don't need any more babies at this point in my life.

I have one daughter who just turned 3 in October. At this point I don't plan on having anymore, but who knows what might happen in a few years.

WE are done, we have 7 biological kids and are raising one of our granddaughters, she has lived with us since birth, we got legal guardianship when she was 5 months old. Ages, 24, 23, 20, 17, 17, 13, and the granddaughter who will be 2 Dec. 27th. It is never boring that is for sure!

I have three children. My boy is eleven, my daughter is nine, and my baby boy is three. I cannot have anymore. A part of me wishes I could have another one,especially when I see a little baby, but another part of me is kind of glad that I can't have anymore.

I have three children, two boys 14 and 9 my daughters 13 and I am definitely through having children. they are growing up now and not so dependant on myself like when they were younger so I would hate to have to go back to having a dependant child.

i have 1 son through my previous marriage. he lives with my husband and i. my husband has 6 kids through his previous marriage. they are grown up and living in their own houses now. now, i'm pregnant with twins. so, altogether, my husband and i will soon have 9 children. once the twins come out, i'm going to have my tubes tied so that i won't be able to have any more children after that.
