I was wondering how many of you were pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or planning on having more kids. I'm due with #2 in April, and congrats to Arie who just found out she was pregnant. Do any of you feel like you want to have more kids or are you done?


I was watching Oprah (everyday!) yesterday and they had the SAHM of eight! It makes me kind of want to have bunches of kids, but then again I think that maybe two would be just perfect. I just love being a mom so much that I think it would be great to have a lot of kids, and then other times (especially when this pregnancy has me wiped out and about to collapse from exhaustion) that I think this should be my last. :) KWIM?


Just curious . . .

We would love to have one more, well I want 2 more, but we made the mistake of dh getting a vasectomy while I was still preggo with #3. We made a rushed decision b/c our insurance was changing, our deductable was going up a LOT, and we THOUGHT 3 was our magic number. :( I figure if I'm meant to have 4, God will make a way. We have heard of the tubes finding their way back together, lol. I'm so happy for you and all the other pregnant ladies I know.

We want at least one more -- looking to add another addition in 2008, so we will probably start trying in April/May. I am still nursing Judd quite freqently, so AF isnt back yet -- so kinda gotta wait on that too, lol!


We watched the story on TLC about the Duggars (they have 16 kids!!!) and its given my hubby baby fever too. (not 16 kids worth though!!)

We want one more, I think I've lost it everytime I say that. When someone asks me how many Children I have I say 5, they about fall off their chair, but I have 2 heavenly angels and I ALWAYS include them, and 3 at home, 9 (DS) 5 (DD) and 4 months (DS). I have to wait until my lil one is over 1.5 years due to radiation treatments I had in November. Tony says we better have a girl, or he's trading me in. HAHA!!! Good Luck with that one buddy.

I would love to have more, but my age and health aren't going to allow me to do it. Congrats to everyone here that is preggers again.

Oh and just because you haven't gotten your AF doesn't mean you can't get pregnant, I'm sure you already know that. My family is full of mom's that got pregnant when they were nursing and no AF. THe earlest was when my sisters daughter was 5.5 weeks old, and then my cousin got preggers when her lil man was 6 months. NOT ME THANKS!!!! Ha!

We want 1 more. My dh would really like a boy. But, that said, I just started birth control pill today! So, no time soon.


My body doesn't react well to hormone birth control, so we'll see. My dr. said that migraines react a lot of time to Progesterone, so even though I'm nursing he put me on a combo pill, Loesterne 24 because its a low dose of both hormones. He isn't worried about it affecting my milk supply. Now we'll see if I get horrible migraines. Last time I tried the pill I got such bad migraines when I went on the placebo pill that I couldn't lift my head off the pillow. But, I can't not do birth control, since I'm also latex sensitive. UGH!

I'm pregnant with #3, due in July and as tired and sick as I've been this time I've considered being done. I'm not sure. It's hard to say that. I'm only 26. I kinda feel like probably 4 but it will be a little while before the 4th I think. DH would be fine with 3 but if things go well he'll be open to a 4th.
