Let's get to know each other! Babies edition - since it's most probably all we think about!

[beefinch]

Will this be your first baby?
STM here

How many kids do you want?
Ideally, 3. But the third will happen at least 3 and a half years + after this one is born, as it'll be my last baby, I want to be able to spend more 1 on 1 time with them while the older kids are at school/pre school.

Would you like multiples?
Please no. If this one is twins, we are done as that'll be our 3 kids. I'd feel cheated of a pregnancy, as I loved DS's pregnancy, hoping this one will be just as nice. Plus I do like sleep!

Do you have a preference on what sex you would like this baby to be?
I would really like a girl. Not that I'd be disappointed if it's a boy, as we would save money and I know boys, but my household is all blue right now! I'd just love a little girl to dress up and be able to do her hair for school in the years to come.

[blabbermouth]

Will this be your first baby? Yes!

How many kids do you want? 1 or 2, we'll see how this goes.

Would you like multiples? Preferably no, but I did use clomiphene, so there is a greater chance!

Do you have a preference on what sex you would like this baby to be? I think I'd prefer a girl, DH would prefer a boy, but only because he says that if we have a girl he'll just let her have whatever she wants and be a huge pushover (like he is with his nieces).

[flazz]

Will this be your first baby? Yes!

How many kids do you want? Well, I have always said that I wanted 4. I've gotten my husband to agree to 3, so I am making progress! In all seriousness though, it took us so long to get pregnant that I am just taking it one step at a time.

Would you like multiples? Yes!

Do you have a preference on what sex you would like this baby to be? Nope! Healthy and happy!

[peggels24]

Will this be your first baby? Second

How many kids do you want? Two.

Would you like multiples? Part of me immediately says no but I would be happy no matter what. Of course having multiples would totally change our lives and our plans but we would make it work one way or the other.

Do you have a preference on what sex you would like this baby to be? I would love a little boy but if we had another girl, that would be great too (and as beefinch, mentioned, it would be a money saver)

[Deleted]

Will this be your first baby? #3!

How many kids do you want? Three has always seemed right to me. If we had smaller age gaps, I could maybe do 4.

Would you like multiples? The idea of more than one newborn makes my palms sweaty, but I think we could handle it.

Do you have a preference on what sex you would like this baby to be? Honestly, I would love another girl.

[bethkate]

Will this be your first baby? It's my 5th pregnancy, but I'm hoping for our first take-home baby.

How many kids do you want? We kind of always figured we'd be one-and-done, but almost 5 years of TTC has solidified that.

Would you like multiples? Nope. Any pregnancy of mine is high-risk enough as it is.

Do you have a preference on what sex you would like this baby to be? Not in the slightest.

[pootsen]

Will this be your first baby? Nope, it's our second.

How many kids do you want? We are 2 and through, so this will be the last.

Would you like multiples? No thanks.

Do you have a preference on what sex you would like this baby to be? I have a slight preference for a girl, but another boy would be wonderful too.

[jax1182014]

Will this be your first baby? 3rd pregnancy, hopefully 2 take home baby
How many kids do you want? At least 2
Would you like multiples? I'd be nervous as anything but I'd be open to it
Do you have a preference on what sex you would like this baby to be? I'd love another girl! A boy would be fun too.

[cnf2013]

Will this be your first baby? Third pregnancy, hopefully take home baby number two.

How many kids do you want? 3-4. H wants a big family having been an only child and is pushing for four. I think three will likely max me out.

Would you like multiples? Oh sure. Pre-DD we were very into the idea of multiples. H called it "instant family" but after having one I can't imagine how hard it'd be to suddenly have two or more at once. Given the fact that I pulled a positive at 8dpo and that today at 11dpo my test line is as dark as my control line, I'm starting to wonder how many I have harboring in my ute.

Do you have a preference on what sex you would like this baby to be? We'd both like a boy so we could have one of each, but it honestly does not matter. With DD I was high risk, multiple scares, and lots of extra monitoring, followed by an emergency c-section three weeks early. So healthy is our bottom line and the sex really isn't a priority.

[izz67]

Will this be your first baby? Nope, second!

How many kids do you want? 2 maybe 3

Would you like multiples? I think multiples would be overwhelming st first but we would love after we were used to the idea.

Do you have a preference on what sex you would like this baby to be? If I could choose I would say boy because I already have a DD. I don't have a sister and would love for DD to have that relationship so I'd be happy either way.

[whoopsadaisy]

Will this be your first baby? No, #2. DS is 21 months.

How many kids do you want? I'd love to have a big family, but DH is set on two only so we can travel more easily with them, don't have to get a mini van (and so we aren't outnumbered if they revolt).

Would you like multiples? i would love it because I not-so-secretly want more than 2 kids. Although, having taken care of a newborn before, I honestly don't know how moms of multiples do it. One is a ton of work already.

Do you have a preference on what sex you would like this baby to be? I think either way will be awesome. I have a son, but another boy would be a great playmate, but if it was a girl it would be so fun to do mommy- daughter things...I couldn't choose! Glad that's not up to me ;-)

[amadine23]

Will this be your first baby?  Second

How many kids do you want? We're taking it one at a time, because my pregnancy with DS was really hard, but we've both always wanted 3.

Would you like multiples? Theoretically it would be awesome to have an extra baby without having an extra pregnancy, but sometimes I barely survive taking care of DS. Twin mamas are rockstars!

Do you have a preference on what sex you would like this baby to be? Nope! But I would love for him/her to sleep more, be less of a picky eater, and be calmer than my DS.

[lilrubberduckie]

Let's get to know each other! Babies edition - since it's most probably all we think about!

Will this be your first baby? Nope DD is 13months old

How many kids do you want? Lots 😁😁

Would you like multiples? Lots of twins in our family, we are happy with either but won't be surprised

Do you have a preference on what sex you would like this baby to be?
Nope

[RoLoMa]

Will this be your first baby? Second, DS is 16m

How many kids do you want? We will be done after this one. Although I am not sure I will feel done, given my age and high-risk status, this will definitely be it.

Would you like multiples? If I didn't die from shock I could be convinced it wasn't the end of the world. I would prefer a singleton though.

Do you have a preference on what sex you would like this baby to be? Personally, I would prefer another boy. I am definitely better suited to be a boy mom. But when I see all of the adorable little girl clothes, it is hard to not have a little desire for that. But as long as we have a baby to take home at the end of the day, I will be thrilled.

[Deleted]

Will this be your first baby? Third baby. We have a 4 year old and 2 1/2 year old.

How many kids do you want? 4-5. Finally talked DH into a third, so we'll see how it goes from here.

Would you like multiples? I'm sure I would love it if it happened, but the thought of it right now is horrifying. Luckily multiples don't run on either side of our families.

Do you have a preference on what sex you would like this baby to be? No preference. They're both so great in their own ways.

[Deleted]

Will this be your first baby? 2nd, DD is 2.5.

How many kids do you want? 2

Would you like multiples? They are adorable, but I prefer my ute to be single occupancy. Although the lines on these pregnancy tests are popping up dark and fast...oy.

Do you have a preference on what sex you would like this baby to be? i might have a slight preference for a girl since I feel like I "know" how to do that, plus we have boxes of girl clothes.

[zonagirl]

Will this be your first baby? 2nd. DD is 19 months.

How many kids do you want? I'd like at least two, possibly three. I guess I'll wait to make that call until after I have two.

Would you like multiples? No thank you please.

Do you have a preference on what sex you would like this baby to be? I know you aren't supposed to have a preference, but I'd like a girl. I want DD to have a sister and we have all the clothes and stuff for a girl and I just have always wanted to be a girl mama. That being said, if we find out we are having a boy I'm sure it would take me about five seconds to get super excited about it.

[alisa]

Will this be your first baby? Our 2nd

How many kids do you want? Probably 2 is enough for us.

Would you like multiples? All I ever wanted was identical girls, until my sister had twins and I quickly changed my mind. My cousin had twins a few months ago and now I'm really hoping I am not the next.

Do you have a preference on what sex you would like this baby to be? I don't think so. I already have the girl I hoped for, so this time it makes no difference.

[dottiehinson]

Will this be your first baby? This is my 3rd pregnancy and hopefully my 2nd baby.

How many kids do you want? We've always wanted two!

Would you like multiples? We'd take anything we can get at this point, but I'd rather have a singleton. I'm a pretty small person (5 lbs at birth, full-term) and our daughter was 5 lbs, 6 oz at birth (full-term!), so I'd be worried about multiples being extremely small!

Do you have a preference on what sex you would like this baby to be? Again, we'd be over the moon with ANY take home baby! A boy would be fun so we could have one of each, but we're kind of pulling for another girl, as we think it would amazing for our daughter to have a little sister. I had a sister growing up, and we had an amazing relationship, so I'd be thrilled if my daughter could have some of the same experiences growing up with a sister (although I'm very aware that all sibling relationships are different- you never know how things will go!).

[lgraceh]

Will this be your first baby? Yep!

How many kids do you want? 2 is ideal, but since we had to do IVF this time, we will be happy with one.

Would you like multiples? I would gladly welcome twins, but I think it's pretty unlikely.

Do you have a preference on what sex you would like this baby to be? No preference.

[grumpycat88]

Will this be your first baby? This is number 2

How many kids do you want? 2 or 3

Would you like multiples? No thank you!

Do you have a preference on what sex you would like this baby to be? If I'm honest, I'd love this one to be a girl, but healthy is most important.

[pandora89]

Will this be your first baby? Yes

How many kids do you want? 2-3

Would you like multiples? I would be fine either way, we just transferred 1.

Do you have a preference on what sex you would like this baby to be? Not at all

[Deleted]

Will this be your first baby? Nope this will be kid the third.

How many kids do you want? We knew we wanted more than 2. We had planned to wait until DD was 3 or 4 before we had another.....she's currently 5 months, so oops.

Would you like multiples? If we have multiples, this will be my last pregnancy. We have a 3 bedroom house currently, so space would be at a premium. Though we do have the option of putting a bedroom in the basement.

Do you have a preference on what sex you would like this baby to be? Doesn't matter, I already have one of each. If it's a girl, she could wear all of DD's clothes. If it's a boy, he's going to be wearing a lot of green and yellow as I sold all of our boyish stuff and kept all the gn.

[esgrunner]

Will this be your first baby? It is my fourth pregnancy; we have one child: 19 month old DS. 

How many kids do you want? I think we will stop at 2. I will be 38 this year and DH just turned 41.

Would you like multiples? Please, no. I do have it on my mom's side though, both in her mother's and her father's families. I think identical, at least in my grandfather's family. He had 2 sets of twin brothers. My grandmother's mother had at least one set of twins that didn't live, maybe more. The idea of 2 newborns is scary!

Do you have a preference on what sex you would like this baby to be? I hate to say it, but I would love to have another little boy. Of course we will be super happy with a girl too but I think it would be great for DS to have a sibling that is the same sex b/c my sister and I have a great relationship. Coming up with boys' names is so hard though.

[diamondsndaisies]

Will this be your first baby? No, I have a 7yr old DD from a previous marriage and I've 2 angel girls with DH. This would my 3rd pregnancy and 4th kid.

How many kids do you want? 2 more. If we had been able to keep the girls I would have probably only wanted 1 more.

Would you like multiples? No. My body was a large part of why I lost my girls. It just couldn't handle it. So, short answer, no.

Specific gender? Kinda, but not really. My family is chalk-full of girls. There is only 1 boy right now so it would be nice to have a boy but honestly boys scare me a little and it would be easier on me to have another girl.

[fknhostile]

Will this be your first baby? No. 5th pregnancy. 3 living children.

How many kids do you want? This is my last.

Would you like multiples? I just want a healthy baby. Whether that be 1, 2, or 4. But I would prefer just 1. 2 teenagers, a toddler, and twin newborns would be tough.

Do you have a preference on what sex you would like this baby to be? I have all boys and most people assume that means I must want a girl. But honestly, I LOVE being a boy mom. Plus I have tons of boy clothes. But it would be nice to have a mother/daughter relationship. So, either way I'd be happy.
It is a bonus that MH takes the boys fishing all the time and I get the house to myself all summer lol
