i don't know, but sometimes you feel in the minority in the homeschool world if you don't have 3 or more kids.

Hmmm. Not sure where you're from but I've run into many HS families with only one or two kids. I have 4 and I sometimes feel like the crazy one. Families with 1 or 2 seem to be able to lavish much more attention and energy into the ones they have. Be encouraged that if nothing else, you have homeschooling in common with other families. :)

hey 4given, after having my 2 kids, i was certain i did not want anymore b/c things were tough for awhile w/ my daughter (colic). after that rough period was over, i definitely wanted one more, but we didn't (hubby fixed) and we won't. so, kudos to those that were blessed w/ many. i'm right where God wants me to be w/ my wonderful 2. i could not have prayed for anything better. my kids are WONDERFUL. my 5 year old son makes homeschooling easy. i was just telling my hubby yesterday that my son makes me look good. he is such an eager beaver.

We have three children; a 6 year old boy, a 5 year old girl, and a 6 month old boy.

Our most recent child was a bit of a "surprise" but we had always said we wanted 4. We would have liked to have another child close in age to the baby, but, given our ages (35 and 42) we have decided we are done.

I also figure that I was blessed with three easy pregnancies and deliveries and should stop while I'm ahead.

I do so love having a baby in the house though. And our 6 month old is such an angel he's enough to make anyone want to have a baby.

We have 9 children. My oldest is 15 and my youngest is 6 weeks old.
We heard a sermon from Charity Ministries that convinced us that children were a blessing, a gift from God and it was a bad idea to turn down blessings!
I had a miscarriage after my first baby. I was worried about having that baby because they would be 18 months old and I didn't know if I could handle it. When I lost that baby, we decided that we would just take what God gives us and let Him handle the timing and the other details. He hasn't failed us yet!
