I never ever ever want another person to live in my belly. In a couple years, if I find a baby abandoned in a river (a la Moses), I might be convinced to keep it and love it, but I don't want to intentionally collect any more children.
although I always say if an angel were to come to me and tell me my next child A) will be an amazing sleeper B) not destroy my body any more and C) will be a girl I would bear that child gladly.
I theoretically would like to have a few more teenage/adult children and have a crazy family that we could make a hilarious Christmas movie about, but I don't want to deal with what it would take to achieve that.
One more is a serious possibility for us. I can see one more ( maybe another little boy for me?!!!). I don't have that done feeling that many have. I thought I would feel done. I only ever imagined having two and that they would be a boy and a girl.
My H isn't done and would like another if we can manage it.

I'm pretty certain we are done after #2 arrives. I'm not at all sad about this, although I'm sure I could be in the future. I think I'm just tired right now
H could go for a third, though...but then again, he does not have to gestate or bf, so he's not too pushy!
Well, you all know I was originally no kids then maybe one and done.
I answered No.
BUT if we decide to move to the burbs and do public school I can see myself fulfilling my original plan of adopting. ONE kid. Older than an infant. When the boys are like 8. A girl so I can actually buy some of the adorable stuff I see everywhere.
More than likely that will never happen though and I'll have to pretend to love my future daughters in law

I said, no and mostly sad about it, but I'm doing better than I was a week or so ago. We aren't scheduling the big V until next spring, so I have time to g ey used to the idea.

I will say that complete hatred of pregnancy makes the decision to be done much easier. I don't think I can handle another 5 months of vomiting 10-20 times a day. While watching 2 kids.
I'm done! I feel SO done now, much more than I thought I would. I would've loved to have given Anna a sister also, but my body cannot handle another pregnancy and I feel like the personalities of the ones I have will mesh well. I'm actually excited for this baby stage to be done with soon so that we can start selling and clearing out baby things and just get on with life. I'm cooking and cleaning (and drinking) again, my tastebuds are normal, my body is healing, and I just CAN'T do it again. My husband feels done now too and will be getting a vasectomy either by the end of this year or early next.
I did want 3 but I think I am feeling okay with 2. I still don't want Ian to get a V right away though (he wants to but I would prefer to wait about 3 years just to see where we are then)
I am struggling with this so much. I really want one more. H does not for financial and my-wife-sucks-at-pregnancy reasons. I think he would agree to another if I went back to work full time but that really didn't work for our family when I went back after A. I am really sad this may be my last one.
This sounds like what I could have written exactly
I am done having babies and I am mostly happy about it. I do get a little sad about never having another baby and not having a boy, but not enough to have another one.
We both would like 1 more. I have fertility issues though, not getting any younger, and wouldn't be able to ttc for at least a year though. I have to come to terms with a maybe not.
