That you had all the children you were going to? Especially parents of one. I just have this feeling, one child is all we're going to be blessed with.

We knew when I was pregnant with Connor. After what happened with Brandon, we were blessed to have austin, nice and healthy and the same with Connor. So we just knew.
I wont lie and tell you i dont get the urge once in awhile. But I know it is best for us. Plus I have my tubes tied so I can have all the urges I want.

we haven't talked it out a hundred percent yet.... i have a feeling that logan is our one and only child, but i feel guilty cuz shouldn't he have a sibling? but then again it took us so long to have him, can we even concieve again?

lol like i said before we don't know, and we don't know that the decision is up to us

I am pretty sure we are finished. Since we had to do fertility to have Emily and have used no birth control in a couple of years and nothing has happened, well . . . DH and I do not want to do fertility again. It's expensive and time consuming and very emotional. We knew when I had Emily that she would be the only child we would conceive in that way. Our attitude was that if we could have another child without fertility treatments, then that would be great, but it doesn't look too promising.
Most of the time, I am happy with that. I would like for Emily to have a sibling, but I don't know if I could handle more than one child. I like the ease of her being potty trained and pretty independent these days, and I really didn't like the infant stage where you get no sleep and all you do is nurse and change diapers!

hmm did anyone have a number in their head before they started trying. I realize that a lot of you have had fertility treatments to concieve but before all that happened did you have some magic number.
I'm pretty sure 1 is all I want....2 is an outside possibility. The hubby says he'd go to 3 but there's NO WAY I'd want 3 at this point. I'm just curious.

Well I have always wanted a big family. I could never imagine just one child. (then)

Now that I have the girls - there are ALOT of days I am perfectly happy (and blessed) with the 2 I have. There are days I want more and there are days I dont. So I am leaving it up to God at this point. I am not ready to do anything PERMANANT but at this point I dont want another one so badly that I am activly trying.

I always wanted two girls, but nature is being uncooperative, so one it is.

I don't know. I don't think you know until it hits you. I mean I always thought 2 was enough and I find myself wanting another one. But at this point both of my kids get everything they need, we can afford to spoil them so we are just trying to decide what one more child would do. Honestly it doesn't matter to me how many I can have, it matters the quality of life I can give them. If I start feeling stretched thin with the 2 I have, I don't think I should have more....not that I do. Occasionally I have one of those days...LOL But they are far and few between. Honestly I'd be blessed with one more but I think if we had 3 that would definatly be it.

My magic number was 4. I made it to three. ZMy pregnancies are so difficult I knew when I got pregnant with Abby that was it. Went in for my first OB appointment and told them to write it in big letters I wanted a tubal. I am not sure our family is done growing...Court and I have talked about adopting. But for now we are done.
