This is so FUNNY!!! I can imagine I would do the same!! I was blessed with boys just as I wanted (although would have loved girls just as much - honest). I love my life of constant turmoil with 2 crazy boys, mountains of grass-stained laundry, huge grocery bill, and more kid clutter than I can deal with!!!

Yes. I always wanted two kids, and that's what I have.

DH wanted 2 and I wanted 3. We didn't realize that three would come so quickly. When I was 25 and he was 28 dh had a vasectomy. A few years later, I started to feel the desire to adopt so we adopted our daughter and she was such a blessing we adopted 2 more Our children are now 18,16,13,5,3 & 2. We never ever imagined that we would have 6 kids, but we feel truly blessed.

We wanted two. Didn't really care about the sex - though I really wanted a girl and my husband really wanted a boy. Worked out well for me because we got the girl first! And then we decided to go one more time around (though we were told that we probably wouldn't be able to have number two) and my husband agreed that he didn't care if we had a second girl. Got a little boy that time around!

When my daughter was born I always said that "She was the little girl I always wanted." And she is! But with my son, I've come to realize that He is the little boy that I didn't know how much I needed!

We don't expect anymore, and have taken the steps to ensure that doesn't happen, but if we were "blessed" with another we would love that one as well. But we better be done!

Mmm...we didn't actually discuss children at all before we married (a bit of an oversight). He wanted 2, I wanted 0. We eventually settled on one.

After having the one, dh was convinced that one was enough (I think he always hoped to talk me into two). Not that it's too late necessarily (I'm almost 38), but we both agreed we are done.

Yes. We decided that before we got married, and we had our two kids as planned, when planned. We'd decided two was it, no matter the gender. We did end up with a boy and a girl, which was nice.

I wanted 4 kids but that is not how things have worked out. I had two miscarriages and then my 1st dd was born (she is now 14). Her father and I split up when she was 9 months old and I remarried when she was almost 6. My 2nd dh and I had 3 miscarriages and then my 2nd dd was born (she is now 4) and I had another miscarriage after her. I'm 43 now so we will not be having anymore. I feel sorry for both of the girls because they don't have siblings closer in age but I also know that as they grow older the age difference will seem less.

We've had 5 boys and after our twins were born and died, I had to consciously admit that no matter how many more we had, two would always be missing from our family. After two more complicated but successful pregnancies, we decided we were done. There are still times when one or both of us wish we could have more but at 41 with children born in the 80s, the 90s and the 2000's, it's apparent that it's time to quit.

If anymore children join our family, it will be from someone other than me carrying them. With our oldest turning 21 this year, it is likely that we will be grandparents before our other kids are in high school so we'll just enjoy that!

My husband and I decided on one baby, and had two. Both boys now ages 9 and 6. I love it. Sometimes the idea of adopting a girl pops into my mind. I feel there is way to much testosterone and to little estrogen in our house!

When DH & I were dating, he wanted 3 kids and I wanted 2. After we married, he changed his number to 1. Our first two pregnancies ended in miscarriage. We had twin daughters and thought we were finished. DD#3 was born when the twins were 9. Now, we think 3 is a good number for us.
