Honestly i can't remember if we had a number planned. I know i always wanted about eight!!!! Seriously!!!! However it wasn't in the plan for our life. I'd like three but at almost 37 and our fertility issues i doubt it will happen.

We had three kids under six and decided we were done...two weeks later, we found out we were pregnant...two months in and we found out it was twins. With five kids under seven, we got Cable and found other hobbies

Your son is very lucky as well. Adoption is wonderful..I was adopted. I also have a Brittany. She IS another child! We adopted her at 1 1/2 yrs. and then the vet told us she'd be a puppy (hyper) until about 5! She's 9 now and just now starting to act like an adult. Brittany's always look like they are smiling and are the happiest, sweetest dogs and are absolutely wonderful with kids!

We always planned on two since the beginning of our marriage. We ended up conceiving 4 (lost two to miscarriage) and ended up with a girl and a boy six years apart. It's perfect for us; we feel blessed.

I came from a family of 9 children....so I was thinking 4 and he was thinking one..lol. I said that I just can't have one so he said two. Last summer he said if it would make me happy we could have a third but that would have to be it!! I feel so lucky !! Our third will be here on the 23rd of April!

we never had any idea what we wanted! I guess I figured it would be up to God!!
Tho I am def done after this baby!! I cannot handle being pregnant anymore!!
(tho if Dh were to agree with adoption with me I would def be wanting to adopt a child I have always wanted to!! but it would be too much for dh he sees an adopted child as a child to whomever adopted but he would have issues so I dont think it would be fair to the child!!! It is all his idiotic mother telling him this!!! GRRR oh well I got 2 wonderful girls!! and cannot wait to see what god has given us now!!

HECK NO! We thought we were done after two girls. DH got "fixed" and then his sister was killed in an accident, so we got legal custody of her little 1 month old. DH's "fix" didn't work, and we found that out when we found out we were expecting twins...So our family of 4 went to a family of 7!
