March 12, 2009 7:38pm CST
families now are conscious on the number of children they want to have and plan to have due to economic reason. but given a chance, how many children do you want to have? how about now? how many kids do you have? do you want to have babies again? i love babies but if ever i will be having my own, i just want to have two (boy and girl if God permits, because in our family, mostly are girls and maybe mine will be girl too.lol) how about you?

me too ;) both on hubby and my side have twins in the family but i think we'll be having those twins on the next generation (pass it on my kids :D) FIL (father-in-law) has a twin bro and i have cousins that are twins :) but based on a chart it will skip our generation and it will happen again after us so it will be on my babies/nephews/nieces..we are looking forward for that (on my grandchildren? LOL hehe) thanks!:) happy myLotting! Godabless!0=)

I have two and that is all I am ever going to have. I'm done. That's it! I am so excited that my son is almost finished potty training. That is the last "baby" thing I have to do.

They are all I can handle and afford. Plus, when I had my son I had gestational diabetes which involved many visits to the hospital for consultation appointments and injecting insulin 2x per day.

i do want to add that i am financially conscious about the amount of children i have. i want to be able to provide for their college and get them cars if they succeed in high school just as my parents did for me. having too many kids makes all this less likely unless ur jon and kate or the octuplets mom who get paid because of all the kids they had.

Hi donnakristel! Oh I love babies. Unfortunately my husband and I were not blessed with any. I would still love to have at least one but whatever is His Will, I wholeheartedly have accepted. I am however blessed with beautiful nieces and nephews who are all sweet and loving to me and my husband. We get to be with them every weekend. I hope and pray that you will be blessed with beautiful and loving children my dear! Take care and blessings to you! lovelots..faith

hi donnakristel, i had two pregnancy but mind you i got 3 kids out of this two pregnancy..my eldest son is almost 4 years old and then for my second pregnancy i've got twins, both boys too and they are 11 mos. old now..so i have instant 3 boys in my family ..raising my kids is really hard(specially for the twins,everything is times 2 specially the budget of course) but its very rewarding specially if i'll see them smiling, hugging and kissing me..although i love to have a baby girl too but we are all facing a hardlife now.. so i will just be contented and happy with my 3 sons.no more babies coming for me.

Things have gotten a lot harder now days. We had 7 kids and in the house is now our 13 year old son and 16 year old daughter, along with our 2 year old granddaughter that we are raising. We have never been rich but all bills paid, etc. With the cost of things today there isn't much play money left to go do things. Anyways I had wanted 4 children 2 boys and 2 girls but I guess that wasn't meant to happen. We had 2 girls and a boy when I thought it would be a good time to go for number 4. We had twin daughters instead. Then we thought we cant have just one boy .. hence the next one was a girl too. The last one was a surprise but it was a boy! lol Things work out in mysterious ways. Reading this I see that we are a very large family compared to most but it has worked for us.

I think one or two children is enough in this modern society.Our income is enough to grow up two children.NOwadays everything is so costly and i like a small family.futher I love babies very much.I want to have them soon and lots of fun.

I have 8 children The oldest is 34 and the youngest will be 18 this year. Three of them are girls, and all the rest are boys. I also have 11 grandchildren the oldest is going to be 14 this year and the youngest will be 1 next month. I would have 8 more if i could. Even though we went through hard times every now and then, I would not give up one day of it. Now that they are all grown and mostly on their own it is too quiet around here, and since they are spread all over the place and i only get to see them 3 or 4 times a year.

My family is complete. I have a 6 1/2 year old little boy, and an 18 month old little girl. When we started planning our family we wanted a big family. I come from a big family, youngest of 6, and my husband has small family, so he thought he'd want a bunch of little ones running around. But due to health condtions on my part while pregnant my body can't tolerate it, so we was stopping after the our first. But almost 5 years to the day, our little girl come along. We have completed things and are happy with what we have. Even if we would have gotten another little boy, we'd been happy.

I have 4 right now that are mine. 3 from my ex husband and they are 2 boys ages 7 & 8 and a girl who is 5. I also have a baby boy from my current husband and he is 10 months (not my husband, the baby...lol). My current husband has 2 children, a boy that is 5 and a girl 2. My ex husband has a daughter from a relationship before me, she is 9, and I consider her mine, she comes over and we all hang out and everything and she was/is my stepdaughter. My ex husband also has 2 new(er) children that are a boy 1 year and a girl 3 years and the daughter calls me mom and we babysit them every once in a while. I guess if I really ever feel I need more kids Ill just have all them come over...lol I dont really want anymore. I wanted to have my last at 30 and I did. My husband wants another one but its ALOT of work and then I dont really want one now, if I were to want one, and later after the other ones are grown makes it feel like alot more work because youre not used to the diapers, bottles, feedings, toys, etc again. UGH! Too much thinking!!!

We have two lovable young boys right now. We don't really plan to have a huge family but we are hoping to have at 1 more just to take a shot for a baby girl. If God blesses us with a girl then that would be the end but if another boy comes then me and my wife could probably negotiate a fourth one (hehe)and i mean last shot.

Since I was a child,I always wanted to have a brother or a sister,then it came.I love to play with babies specially those babies who are cute and like a teady bear in the structure of its body.I love to see them smile then seeing them chuckle.Soon if i will have my own baby,i only want 2 siblings.My purpose is that we can give them what ever they want in the future specially their education.I want to have a baby if i have a stable job and a good man in my life.

I already have two sons, one aged 13 years and the other is aged 21 months old. He has spina bifida and so needs much care. I would love to have a daughter. I am currently pregnant and at the scan they confirmed she is a girl. She will be born in June 2009. After that I will have three children and that will be enough for me. I don't think I have the finances for a another one after my little girl. I love traveling and my older son doesn't like it at all. Therefore I will be traveling with two children. My sister has four children and she lives in a much larger house than me.

I have one child, and I'm still debating if I really want another one. I won't be having another any time soon as I'm a single parent, but of coarse there's always time when I do find the man of my dreams. But if anything I would want no more than 2.

I do not have kids yet but me and my husband agreed on having two kids only. It is quite expensive to raise a family and give the children good education. I think we could only afford two kids to give a financially stable life.

If im blesses to have a kids in the future, I want 3 kids, because the fact that 2 kids are few and maybe they build a rivalry in house, four ? too much for the house too many obligations, so 3 is enough.
