HHMMMM   I always wanted to be a mommy as long as I can remember.I wanted a dozen for years lol. Each time I got pg, I wished for  twins, especially when I learned  hubbys family  was in generation for twins .Unfortunately, after my youngest, it just never happened.I  was blessed with two beautiful, full term daughters, 5 yrs apart.I  tried and tried  to have more  till I was 47 , then gave up and started  being neighborhood granny.By then my kids were grown and gone. By 49, I had my own first grandson, by 50 my second. MY DREAMS of dozen kids finally came true, but in mothering  others babies.  And now I can say honestly   I've got kids all over the world  whose little lives  have been touched by our love.  GOD    DOES WORK IN MYSTERIOUS, MIRACULOUS WAYS .

I have always wanted 6. Two boys and two girls then adopt two kids that were older like pre teens or teens. I figure now I have my two boys and I have two step kids (I think of that as my adoptions) now I just need to work on the two girls. But my husband is scared that we will have twins again.......my only thougt is.....well we will know what to do next time if we have twins.

growing up i wanted a big family like my parents both belonged to (both were from 7); i only had 1 brother to play with and we spent a lot of years not liking each other and SUPER bored. So 7 seemed like a dream to me as a kid, always someone to play with. of course then i grew up!!! I have been stuck on wanting 3 kids for some years now... My husband only wants 2 and I say... We'll wait and see after the 2nd of course, these days I have been babysitting a 2.6 year old, a 1.4 year old and my daughter who is 5 months and OMG!!!! I don't know how I'd do it!! But i still want 3. We'll see... time will tell

Well, I never wanted any.  Then we had our first boy.  He was an easy baby but I still did not want any more.  Then my mother in laws mom died.  She was the only child.  I was in tears to see her all alone.  No father no siblings... it was that day I decided to have one more child so that my oldest would not be alone.  DH always wanted a girl... we have two boys... I am done.  They are fantastic boys and I love them!!!

I really didn't want any children.  I grew up the last of 7.  Got very jealous of my first nephew.(He was 10 years younger than me and got all the attention.)

Then I met my husband.  We had one, and I thought what am I going to do with this kid!!!  Well, my heart grew very fond of Michael.  And, as boys go he was a handful.....But, one was enough.  Then after 6 1/2 long years, my delightful son who is now self sufficient (can get in and out of a car seat, and is potty trained.) there's a girl.  I knew it was a God thing and I would not give up this little girl for anything.  

I was born on my mothers 39th birthday.  Rachel was born when I turned 39.  That was all I needed, she's very special to me.

Now I am mom to all the children who come through the Nursery at church. Have held more children in the last 7 years than I can remember.  That is how I get my mommy fix.

When I was young and didn't know better I wanted three boys.  I wanted to start having kids at 20 because I thought that was old!  HA!  I didn't have my first son until I was 34, only three months from 35.  Now, I go back and forth about having another.  I'd like my son to have a sibling, but I don't know if I want to go through pregnancy again at my age.  Adoption is always an option.

At 15 I never thought of being married and being a mother at all. 17 i began to think of being married to the boy I dated. Broke up 2 yr later. Did not have any serious relationship with anyone... yet still thought of being married and having a child. I stayed single until 35... got married and never thought of being able to have a kid due to "old age" then got pregnant. Supposed to have 4 kids... but lost two in two miscarriages. Still think of the unborn kids as girls.

I wanted 2 children growing up(boy and girl) but when I was pregnant with my daughter, I almost lost her a few times and it scared the crap out of us, so we decided then and there that she was gonna be are only child. And Im very happy with that. She's my world.

Lets see how many kids do I want. I am not sure. Thats something I asked my mom. How do you really know how many you want. My mom said you will know when you are done haveing kids. I still not sure. We have a girl now and we are trying for another one. I have kids in my life just about all my life. I have 4 older brothers and my oldest nephew is only  a couple years younger then me. So I have experice with kids and just love haveing them around. So I realldy dont know. I guess in about 20 years I can answer that. lol

Growing up I always wanted 4. I only have 1 brother so I think it would be great to have a sister and other siblings! However, with the cost of college now a days and since I'm the only one who wants so many we have made a compromise...If our next child is a boy we will have another but if our next is a girl than we are done! ...I hope we have another little boy (so I get my 3)

I used to always want three, but it looks like we'll be lucky with our one.  I never wanted more than three, but sometimes I think I will only want two or will be perfectly content with one.  Hopefully though, I can just make up my mind before I am too old to decide any more... Ha ha ha.

My parents both had 4 brothers and sisters each. I was an only child. When we would travel to family holidays I loved the chaos and excitement of all their brothers and sisters and their wives and husbands and kids, etc. Just a big noisy family (which I never had)...

So I always thought I wanted 5-but now pregnant with #3 I think this will be our last. We have two girls already and we have a little boy on the way. 3 is a good number!

I would like to have 3 but we only have the one. She is 2 and by the time i get preg and have another she will be close to three. I really want another but my hubby said out right no. So I guess one is all 

I was told I could not have any.... Now I have 1 and I am so torn about trying to have another... I hate to get my hopes up... but secretly I would really like 1 more !

I always wanted to have 2.  I have a sister, so 2 seemed perfect to me.  My hubby wanted 6...I knew that I wasn't going to have that many!  After I had my first baby I didn't want anymore.  It was much harder than I ever thought being pregnant and between all of my complications I just didn't think I could go through it again.  I, of course, forgot all of that and went on to have number 2.  We were finished then....one girl and one boy.  A couple years later I really wanted another baby, hubby did not.  Secretly, I always felt like a baby was missing, but I never said anything.  We were blessed with not just one, but two more babies after that.  Life has never been so wonderful!  I can't even imagine life without every one of them.  Totally complete!
