We just have one, a 6 year old boy. I actually hadn't intended to have any kids. As bad as it sounds, I'm not one of those people that goes nuts for kids, they kind of get on my nerves for the most part. LOL But then I got pregnant (we weren't trying to have kids, but we weren't trying NOT to either) and we have a funny, cute, talented little guy. If all goes as planned he'll be the only one. I feel like I'll do a better job of raising him if I can concentrate on just one. Any more kids and I think my husband would come home one day to find me with my head in the oven!

We have 2 children 
A daughter 8 and a son 3.....
I use to think i would have a big family maybe 4 or 5 kids....but life changes things for you..my dh is recently disabled and even if we could physically have more children we could not finacially..plus i almost died having my son naturally (10 lbs 6 oz) almost bled out froma vag birth ..and my dh is worried that this could happen again...So obviously if it ever happened again we would celebrate and embrace any children.....But we would not plan another one unless my dh recovered,...we planed both children took 8 months to conceiive dd and 6 months for ds
btw husband parents had 5 kids together and my mom had 2 and my dad had 5 kids

Older post but I will add my two cents.I have four sons.I didnt choose to have sons but I love it.
I actually wanted just two and did want boys. Both were planned, third was a surprise baby and since I always wanted a big family we decided whats one more.Anyway I love all my boys and wouldnt have it any other way..Now I cant wait for Grandkids.

We have 3 girls that are evenly spaced at just under 2 1/2 years apart. Didn't plan it that way (the 3rd was a complete surprise 
), that's just how it worked out.

I have two kids, Ellie (Eleanore) my oldest is 7 and my youngest Izzie (Isabella) is 5. I had a difficult pregnancy with my 2nd so we are not having more kids.
