I have an almost 13 year old son.
An almost 9 year old daughter.
And a 2 year old son.

One more would be nice, there's such a big gap for my youngest. But I'm too old.

We have our girls and they're almost 10(!!). My husband has two older from his first marriage. We are done having kids. I like that we won't be very old when they're out of the house, and they are plenty for me!!! I don't think I could handle any more.

I think Shawna and I we're pregnant at the same time with all but her little guy who I cant freakin' believe is SEVEN! Good lord... how did that happen?

I have 3. Katie who is almost 15, Emily 12 and Andy who turns 10 in 6 days! We are done too. I LOOOOVE that my kids are older and I have a little more freedom because they are more independent and less needy. I wouldn't trade any of them, but traveling with 5 is SOOOOO much harder than with 4 - I wish I had thought of that before we were outnumbered haha :D

I have 3 little monsters, 2 girls, and a boy. 8G, 6G, 5B.

I cannot have more of my own, I wouldn't be opposed to more, if a potential future 'mate' had them. Or I re-marry and we choose to adopt or whatever. :)

MommaTrish 05-14-2015 11:12 PM

5 kids. 4 boys, 1 girl. and I am done, done, DONE.
Done.

Zach is almost 11. Ryan is 9. Bella is 6. Mason is 3. Art is almost 6 months old.

I have two girls Carrie (7.5) and Molly (6). My DH also has a daughter from his first marriage who is 25 and has two kids of her own (5) and (4 months). We are DONE. He sometimes joke about trying for a boy but I have no desire to be pregnant again, and diapers, waking up in the middle of the night stage again. I do still get asked if I am going to have more or if I want to try for a boy.

We have 2, Avery who will be TEN tomorrow (which also means I've been scrapping 10 years!) and Ella who is 6. I always wanted at least 3 but we had fertility issues and it took forever to get pregnant with Avery. Ella was a huge surprise :)

We are most likely done however, partly due to my fear of another ... full on child (dont get me wrong, I love Oliver more than anything LOL but I couldn't handle 2 of him!) and because I had PET with both kids so don't cope with pregnancy well.

Haha! You sound like me 2 years ago, except I have a crazy Oliver and a super sweet Camilla. :) We did have a baby and Oliver is the BEST big brother to the baby! It's been amazing to watch. :) And she's a really fun and flexible baby. He's still my hardest, but in the best way ever. I think you'll understand what I mean. :)

So my three are Oliver (5, 6 in August), Camilla (4 this month!), and Lillian (16 months). We've started not cringing at the thought of another, but aren't sure yet. Pregnancy is really hard for me since I get high blood pressure. I'm like a shadow of myself when pregnant, so it's really hard to think about being that way again. It's not really fair to my husband and kids. More kids would be much easier to handle than more pregnancies.

We are both from big families, 7 in his, and 5 in mine. On his side there are 27 grandkids (I believe) and 8 on my side. I keep thinking our baby would love a partner in crime, so who knows.

I have a 23 year old step-son and we have together we have had 3 kiddos. Our first would be turning 14 this summer. He was stillborn, prematurely. Our daughter will be 13 this summer and our youngest son is 9 1/2.

We wanted a large family. I had issues that made staying pregnant complicated. Then, after my youngest, I suffered from secondary infertility. Last October I had a hysterectomy, dashing my dreams of having another baby biologically. We are still very much considering fostering or adoption (or both!) but we are waiting a bit, praying about it, and making sure we are ready.

JMC1988 05-16-2015 01:51 AM

Wow, I love hearing about all of your sweet kiddos!

I at 27 have no children but would like to have at least 3 but have always wanted 5 from the time I can remember even thinking about children! That maybe an only child thing wanting lots of babies, but I would love at least 3 but I guess I will see what the future holds and what God has planned for me and any potential future husband. I know one thing, I will try my best to have 2 because even though being an only child can be great, it's depressing and I wouldn't want any child of mine to be the only one. It's hard being an only child but rewarding at the same time. I have always wished I had at least one sibling.

Hubby and I have 3 kiddos. Tyler who is 21, Nicole who is 12 and Skyler who is 12. The youngest 2 are not twins, we did foster/adopt and they are just shy of 3 months apart. My oldest is also adopted so we never had biological babies and for years that was really hard for me. We are done for adding to our family, however I am getting very antsy about becoming a grandma now. :) Can't wait for that, but my oldest doesn't want any kids right now. :p

lliella 05-16-2015 05:54 AM

We have 2 kids, Austin is 8 and Ashleia is 6 (they will be in 3rd and 1st grade when school opens next month). 2-3 years ago, I would have wanted another one. But now we're done. I'm pushing 40 and don't want to start all over again. I like being pregnant (no morning sickness) although I had to take heparin shots 3x a day during my entire pregnancies.

We live with my mother-in-law, hubby's eldest brother and elder sister. My sister-in-law is kinda off, and always giving us problems.

I love learning about all your beautiful families!

littlekiwi 05-16-2015 10:31 PM

I'm an only child and still live at home with my mum - I'll be 28 in July! Apart from that my immediate family only has 5 people in it so we are very small

navaja77 05-18-2015 01:55 PM

I have 2 kids - 10 yr old boy and 5 yr old girl. We are done. My DH was raised as an only child (although he has siblings who did not live with him). He wanted 2 kids from the start. He did agree to a 3rd if we had two girls or two boys. But we were blessed with one of each :) It turned out that being pregnant and having babies is hard on me so I don't want to have any more. I'm happy with my two :)

lovely1m 05-18-2015 08:00 PM

I have one 8 year old boy. I am done. I like having an only child. My boyfriend and I have talked about having foster kids someday, but it would be way down the line, if at all.

Nixenkind 05-19-2015 06:03 PM

We have two girls (11 and 13) and two boys (8 and 6). I always liked the thought of adding one more, but to be honest, it would be insane. It's hardly possible to find enough space for us to rent now since we've always been on a tight budget, with five kids? Forget it. So in fact, I'm happy with how things are now.

Neverland Scraps 05-20-2015 12:12 AM

We have three children: 13 yr old daughter, 11 year old daughter and a 2 year old son who is our 9-year miracle child. We would like one more child, but that is in God's hands if it happens or not.
