Wlll u keep going until you get your dg even if you know you shouldnt / cant afford to etc.

We were always adament that we would stop at 4 then when our 4th was actually our 4th and 5th it was exciting not scary - then we lost one and its now 4 again BUT Im thinking f we were going to cope with 2 why cant we still have a 5th where as DH is dead against it.
We dont really have the space and would have to wait 3 years until this one was at nursery before we could have another and by then i would be 37-38 so would definately be the very final baby but is it mad to just keep going because you want a certain sex ? IVF is NOT an option due to finances and also the whole thing just isnt for us.

I always told myself that I would only have two kids but then I always assumed I would have my pigeon pair.
Now I have two boys and going to start ttc this summer for hopefully our girl. I have already decided if this ones not a girl we will try one more time but we've also decided if it is a girl will have another one no matter what! I know we can't have more than that because the house we are going to be getting is only going to be four bedroom. I have been trying to figure how will room them if I have 2 boys and 1 girl or 3 boys and 1 girl. Then I started thinking well if I had four boys would I try one more time and how would I set up the rooms? Do I wait till I'm 33 when my oldest will be 18 to try again.
I'm 25 in April right now so I have plenty of time to decide!
So honestly I'm not sure I say four is my limit but honestly I'm not sure that is completely true.

We are stopping with this one, regardless of what it is. We don't really have room for this one and finances will be tight, but there is no way we'd be able to go one more. Plus I will be 40 when this one is born.... We are also going to have to put an addition on at some point as we have 3 bedrooms now, one for DH and one for me. LOL He snores..'nuf said. The two big boys share a room and the baby is in with me. The new baby will be with me too, probably cosleeping til, well, the addition goes up.

Noooo! I wanted this to be our last, DH thought he wanted a third but now agrees he doesn't as well! 2 is enough for us, we feel complete he has decided to get the snip shortly after this one is born. I will just have to be a super girly hockey mom hehe.

We want a big family. Maybe 6 or 7 or 8. We don't have space or money. But we just decided love is more important to us. We want to be surrounded with life and love and laughter...always. We have two boys in one room and two kids in our room. When I'm pregnant, DS3 will move into the boys room and DD and the new baby will be with us. We do have an extra storage room that we will use in the future. It's just what's right for our hearts and for our family.

For us three was always the magic number. We talked about it long before we got married and sort of decided then that we wanted 3 children regardless of gender. We have already started college funds for the boys and accounts to set them up with some extra for when they leave college please God and will do the same for this little lady. I know it is not all about money and love and happiness is way more important but for us we want to be able to make their way a little easier and could not really afford to do that with more than three children.

I had an IVF cycle that was cancelled and then tried swaying for a couple of months and did not get pregnant. This was when we had 3 children already.

Realizing that 4 was it for us, I tried HT again and was successful. I likely would have swayed for number 4 and that would have been it for us. 4 kids is a lot. Very busy if they are involved in after school activities and on the weekends. We limit our activities because we have 4 kids.

Also, 4 kids is a lot to try and pack up and go on vacation. We can no longer fit into a hotel room so we have to book suites or houses when(if) we travel. It is very expensive to take a vacation now.

Our car could hold 5 kids if we needed it to but after that, you need special vehicles and that is just not something we wanted to do!

I admire big families. It is a lot of love but we love the heck out of each other with a family of 6 too!

I could not manage another. We all know our limits I think and we plan on paying for our kids' colleges, cars, etc. It all adds up really quickly! Just for one to play football or cheerlead here costs $400 average for a season!

#6 is it for me regardless of gender! I originally wanted 4 kids, but had 5 in the hopes of getting a boy (3rd failed sway). I just want #6 now as I have this longing in me for one more baby, and a boy would be a bonus!!

If I didn't have to work I would have another 1 or 2 in a heart beat. Me and DH are only children and it sucks now that we are older so I would love to have a big family so the kids have each other. Unfortunately I have to be done now because paying for 3 kids to go to college and weddings and after school activities is gonna cost. I told DH we need to start playing the lotto and win so I could have another lol

This will be my last baby. I am not sure I can handle more than 5. Sean already thinks he is getting too old he is 38. I just turned 36. I will find out tomorrow morning if the baby is a girl or boy.
