Kristy and Lisa-I'm the oldest of four and love having a big family! I always wanted four myself growing up, but I think two will be it for us. Maybe if we had started younger...

DH really wants 3-4. . .I told him he could forget number 3 while I was in labor, but I am reconsidering. We would definately need a new car!!

I really wanted 3 kids initially, but now we've decided on 2 will be perfect for us. I'm ready to start trying again now, but also scared. I had a c-section with Caleb and I'm just afraid for some reason about getting a belly again and stretching out where my incision was. I'd really LOVE to have a fall baby though, so i'm thinking we'll start trying again by this December.

Dh and I definetely want 2 more. But we are waiting until Olivia is about 18 months old. We wanted to get her out of daipers and sleeping in a toddler bed before she second one arrive. And we need to figure out a way for me to stay at home.

Topazstar, the stretching doesn't hurt the scar. I had surgery to have an ovary removed (cancer) and my incision was from pelvic bone to pelvic bone. That was in June and I got preg in Sept...so three months. My scar never hurt thru the preg. It's still a little numb due to nerve damage but doesn't hurt at all.

I want to try for another but don't think DH does. Maybe in a couple of years. We always said we only wanted two, but I never thought it'd be two at once!

Lou - tell him you wanted 2 pregnancies, not just 2 babies !

Lou~ Oh wow. What a blessing to have your girls after going thru that just 3months before. I'm glad to hear that it the inciscion shouldn't hurt.

Lisa, tell me how that works out convincing dh for a fourth. Luckily I have a tahoe so I still have room for another baby but I don't have an empty room left in my house so someone would have to share or we would need a bigger house...but then that would require me to work full-time

I said something to my mil about the clohrine in the pools and how old they have to be, I just wanted to know for knowledge sake (Someone on Monday asked a question about how young is too young) and the MIL said to me something like " DONT you BE THINKING about another baby " OMG So what if I want another baby down the road, its so not up to her, just because she had 1 kid doesnt mean that we will, I come from a very large family & have 2 sisters myself

I just hate when family makes stupids comments like that
I will show her in a few years down the road as long as dh is aboard hehe

Like a few others, I think we will wait till CJ is about 1 and a half, then start trying...I was lucky and got pregnant the first month I tried, so hopefully that will happen again...get pregnant in summer 2008 and have a spring 2009 baby....

Dh originally wanted 3, but with the C-section and stuff he doesn't want to put me through more stress ( physical and mental) than necessary, and he is starting to realize how exoensive kids are

I would be happy with just CJ, but one more wouldn't be a problem either...I hope we do get a boy this time for DH, I know he wants a little mini-he, since I have my mini-me lol!

Im so envious of you all, I wish I could have 2 kids close in age but dont see that happening but our situation needs to get better and I need to find work

__________________

Amber- i had two c-sections and I am here to tell you the stretching doesn't hurt. PROMISE! Yours is still sensitive right now...

Now I will say this time I was freaked out about getting the scar reopened but it was a breeze.

As for more kids...We are through after the scare this time...Well i THINK we are. Dh hasn't gotten his vesectomy yet... I would be so upset if I ended up pregnant right now and I have to say it crosses my mind during sex.

__________________

DH and I would love a big family. We want at least 3 but maybe 4. All depends on finances and getting our house finished, etc.. We want Charlie and the next one 2 years apart so we will prob start trying next spring.

__________________

I think we are done the boys are two years apart, but on the other hand i really would love to have a little girl. I guess I'm not really sure but I do know it will be a few years before i start thinking about it because 2 little ones are hard work
