1) How many kids did your mother have?
Two. I have 1 younger sister.

2) How many did your grandmothers have?
Four on both sides. Because they're crazy like that.

3) How many do you plan to have?
Probably just one, but I'm not ruling out the possibility of changing our minds after we get a feel for our little family of 3. I have always pictured just one kid, but time will tell!

1) How many kids did your mother have?
3 girls!

2) How many did your grandmothers have?
Both had 4.

3) How many do you plan to have?
I always wanted 4, back when I thought I would be married by 24. Haha. I'm 33 with baby #1 on the way! DH wants 2...I think we should compromise and have 3. We will see!

2) How many did your grandmothers have? Each grandma had 4 kids.

3) How many do you plan to have? Hubs and I say 1. We have agreed on that for awhile. 1 kid and a million dogs. With that being said, the excitement and love we have for this little man already have me wondering if we are going to stick to that 1....

1) How many kids did your mother have? 9... I Have 2 brothers and 6 sisters. I'm the middle baby!

2) How many did your grandmothers have? Maternal grandma = 4, paternal grandma= 3

3) How many do you plan to have? We've always said 2, but now we're leaning towards 3. We'll see how the first 2 go before we decide on a 3rd. Definitely do not want any more than 3!

[samiamagirl]

1) How many kids did your mother have? My mom just had me but I have a much older half brother (24 years older) from my dad's first marriage.

2) How many did your grandmothers have? Mom's mom had 2 girls, dad's mom had 5 boys.

3) How many do you plan to have? Probably 2 with the open option of a 3rd if we feel like it. We joke that the 3rd will end up being twins though, lol.

1) How many kids did your mother have? I am the oldest of three. She has me, my sister, and brother.

2) How many kids did your grandmothers have? My maternal grandmother had four daughters. My paternal grandmother had two sons and two daughters.

3) How many do you plan to have? It really depends on what the nephrologist and MFM say this week. I don't know yet if my body would be capable of handling a third pregnancy (this one is stressing my kidney pretty badly), so if I get good news and everything is ok today and tomorrow, I would be willing to consider having a third child some day. I've already discussed the option of a tubal with my MW though in the event that I don't get the news that I'm hoping for, so this could be my last one... It all depends on my health, and how the rest of this pregnancy goes.

[beebe918]

1) How many kids did your mother have? 4 girls and 1 adopted

2) How many did your grandmothers have? Father's side - 2 boys; Mother's side - 2 girls (and my grandfather remarried and had another girl)

1. My mom had 2 kids. Not that you asked, but my MIL had a total of 4, but 3 that lived beyond early childhood.

2. One of my grandmothers had 3 and the other had 5.

3. We are on the fence about 2 vs. 3.

[sarahbmcd]

1. My mom next at 2. She wanted 6 but had HG so bad she almost died. Her drs tried to get her to abort both of us.

2. My dad's mom had 7 children total but I had an uncle die when he was 2. My mom's mom had 6. Both my parents are the youngest.

3. We want two, possibly 3. We'll see!

[sarahbmcd]

Fun fact. ..my MIL is one of 13 kids!

[emu0013]

1) How many kids did your mother have? 2

2) How many did your grandmothers have? one had 8 and the other 3

3) How many do you plan to have? 2, this is it! Getting pregnant was rough for us and my pregnancy with DD was really rough, pre term labor, bed rest, and she was born at 35W due to no fluid left. I am doing so far so good with this one, but am done after. It is just way too stressful for us.

1) How many kids did your mother have? It was just my sister and I until I was in college. Then they adopted two boys.

2) How many did your grandmothers have? My mom's mom had my mom and her sister and adopted my uncle. My dad's mom had 2 boys and 2 girls.

3) How many do you plan to have? I don't know anymore. We will kind of wait and see. We've always wanted at least two or three. Now I'm not sure if we will have more than two living. Pg is much harder on my boy than we thought it would be. I'd love to have three kids but that would mean four pg. I'm not sure if I'm up to two more after this.

It seems like adoption runs in your family! is that something you and your DH have considered once you are done having bio children?
