I’m done having babies. 3 was our number…are you done? Tell me in the comments if you are done Done DONE or are you just getting started, or are you undecided? (which means an oops baby, of course!)
What’s your number?
I always thought i would have 8 – I grew up got married had 7 in 9 years, 3 years later had a precious baby who lived only 4 months, 2 years later we had a precious little girl – so 8 living, 1 who we know and love in heaven and 4 precious babies that I have lost because of miscarriage. So if you are counting I have 13! I am 43, doubtful I will have more – my baby is 4, but God is totally in charge – thankfully! (sorry so long)
When I was pregnant with my last we had three foster children and four bio's so we were expecting #8. Then we said goodbye to the foster children, and gave birth to #5. Now I'm pregnant with # 6 and I have NO IDEA where I stand. I want MORE!!! but I feel like this is the last pregnancy due to age. I wish we had been able to adopt, but we weren't and I don't think we can pursue that road again for a long time, if ever.
I look forward to someday being done, and knowing just what my family is going to look like. I wish I knew how to figure it out! Thanks for asking; sorry for the novel!
I have 3 and I'm done, although in a perfect world I would like another. Unfortunately life's far from perfect and my current circumstances have decided for me.
I want 4, but my husband only wants 2. He has middle child syndrome and he absolutely does NOT want a middle child. We will see!
Cute! I wanted 3 or 4, had some miscarriages, I have two blessings. Love them bunches. Now that they are almost all grown up, I long for my future grandchildren to spoil rotten!
We have one. We used to say we wanted four but I don't think that will happen (on purpose at least) so maybe three is our number.
We have four boys and are trying to adopt a little girl. Actually we would love twins!
What I wouldn't give to have ONE. There are some readers out there (seriously, I can't be the only one), whose heart breaks with today's post. Looking forward to your next DIY or craft project! : )
Whenever people ask me how many children we're going to have, I always say the same thing. "We'll know when we get there." As of now, we have a 3 year old boy and one coming in February. This could be it or there could be more in our future. I've always thought I'd be given what God knows I can handle. There were times when I thought I could only handle one and now I am so excited that we are about to have our second!
I'd like to ask for your prayers as we are entering a challenging time. I'm a SAHM and my husband's job will be ending next week. We aren't sure what lies ahead, but we are sure that God will be with us.
We have 2 and I am done. With this husband, anyway, because measures have been taken. =)
Hopefully we are done. But if by some miracle God sees fit to send us one more, I would HOPE HOPE HOPE for a girl. I'm perfectly content right now, though.
We have one, he is 9 almost 10. We were married for 10 yrs before he came and I am fixing to turn 40. I wanted to have more than one but dh didn't. So to compensate I have been babysitting for others ever since son was a year old. I have helped many a mom and quite like giving them back.
So unless God intervenes we are done.
I had three boys and then a girl. My baby girl is going to be 9 this month. I'm done, I'll wait another ten years for grandchildren!
I am DONE!!! I was planning just to have 2 and I wound up having an oops…so I have 3. Then I got divorced and remarried and wound up having a total of 5. We now have 3 grandchildren (courtesy of my husbands grown kids) sooooo, I am definitely DONE!! Am loving the grandchildren, though!
Done…hmm that is not really MY decision. I have birthed one and adopted one thru foster care so far. Now I'm feeling the pull to adopt again and have started working part time to save for a homestudy. But all that being said, it is not MY decision and whatever is in store babywise is ok with me!
I have a 16 month old and a 2 month old. We want lots of kids…maybe 12????
I have three, ages 6, 3 and 3. I'm not done, I feel I'm supposed to have more. Hubby disagrees. Sigh.
I feel blessed to have my two. Horrible endometrosis has meant a hysterectomety at 36.
And yes, having fertility issues means that I am very much aware that there are those who ache to have just one…I have prayed for you…
I'm single with no children. At 37 it's getting a little late in the game for me to have kids, but I'm ok with that. God knows my heart and He will give me what is best. I'm a foster parent doing respite care now (meaning weekends or a very short stay). I know that I can take a full time foster child if I ever desire to be a full time parent. For now, the part time gig works great for me.
For those who are looking to have more children, I strongly recommend the foster care system. Many kids are available to adopt through foster care. Foster kids are the orphans of America.
Well I truly believe you know in your heart when you are done. I knew with my fifth that she was the baby. And after 11 years that hasn't changed.
the Lord blessed us with 2 amazing boys ( I was not supposed to have any )
A year ago I had to have a full hysterectomy, I would love more and even tried to persuade a gal from church that she needed a MUCH DESERVED BREAK FROM HER BABY. ( she didn't fall for it. )
SO I admire and love babies from a far.
Love the video! So stinkin' cute! We have 2, would like 2 more, but the ovaries are not cooperating. If we don't succeed in our quest for pregnancy within 3 more months, we're starting down the adoption road.
Done/undecided. We have two (age 1 and 3,) but we are "advanced in years" so not sure if we will keep going for a few more.
Prego with my 3rd and I agreed to stop here but man have I always wanted 4. Hubby is getting a vasectomy which I have heard is not 100%. I have told him this. I have agreed that if one slips through I too will be fixed if we have 4. Seems fair!
wow – how neat to read everyone's responses!
We have 2, and dh and I still waver about more. Used to say 4, now really enjoy 2… praying for God's direction, and if there's an "oops" it's a gift of direction from Him!!
We have 1 who is almost 2, but would love to have another. I think 2 is our number, but we will see.
I have three boys so far, the youngest being 6. Every day I go back and forth about having one more. At this point, I'm letting God decide that, not doing anything to prevent a pregnancy. Luckily, God knows what is best and if I don't have another, I'm so happy with my three amazing boys!
I'm not done! I've always wanted a big family (not quite as big as the Duggers though LOL).
Adorable! Right now I have 3: 1 in heaven (lost at 13 weeks), 1 girl (3) and 1 boy (3 mos). So right now I am saying I am DONE! My husband says I get a little crazy while pregnant. heeee! But we are OPEN to what God does. We may have an ooops baby. lol!
My number WAS 3. We HAVE 5 this includes "ok one more" and then the "bonus baby". We are DONE DONE DONE. Had my tubes tied immediately after #5 was born. Apparently I get pregnant very easily. I love them and can't live without them but at this point, some days I'm just clinging to the edge of reality.
I don't think my last comment made it… right now our number is *9*.
I would like to say we are DONE… but I would also like to adopt from Uganda! So…
We knew we were done when our son was born 17 years ago. When he turned two years old I had my tubes tied and never regretted it.
I truly love our family of three.
We are SO not done. We have one 5 month old baby girl. Hubby wants only 2, I want 4. We'll see.
Hahah… I like how you put it: an oops baby. I'm sure we're going to have one of those.
We are done! We have 3 – a daughter who's almost 7, a 3 year old son, and a 9 month old son.
I am forced to be done due to my health issues. Sometimes it makes me sad and other times it doesnt. I just always wanted a girl. I am very grateful for what I do have though.

Our first is due Easter Sunday (4/4/10). We both think 3 is a good number, we shall see!
