How many is your limit?

Just wondering how many kids everyone thinks is enough? I'm not trying to start a "XX many kids is way too many and you're crazy to have them" debate...just wondering what your limit is.  


I told DH 2 or 4, I wouldn't have just 3. I want 4 but I don't know when we'll get to number 3 let alone number 4...

Thats how my malibu is, it fills up for cheap but it runs out fast. i think.. i dont know if its cause DB drives so far away or what, but i have to fill up every couple days.. it *****...  i wish gas would go down.. i swear ill die if it ever reaches 4 dollars. it reached 3 something here once and that was so tragic!!!  ill invest in a bike if I have too, since I wont be working, i wont have anywhere to go, so i can just ride a bike, it might help burn all this fat, from my obsession with Taco bell :) lol

oh and gas here is about 2.65...it takes me 51 dollars to fill up my audi...but man that thing has d a m n good gas mileage. we got from alabama to north carolina and drove around northa carolina for 4 days on ONE tank of gas. we didn't fill up until we were leaving north carolina. i think that has to do with it being a manual.
DH's blazer costs 60 to fill up and i drove it 1 hr and 45 minutes of HALF a tank of gas.

im with ammanda. i only want one.
i never wanted kids to begin with; ariana was a surprise. i love her to death, she is my little blessing from God. but i was never the woman that wanted to be a SAHM or a mom period. no offense to anyone that is; it's just not my thing. i want to be a career woman.
i always envisioned just me and DH together. traveling and going out and not having any responsibilities other than us. just us, the rest of our lives. im still grieving the loss of that to this day, as we never had the honeymoon stage; i was prego when we married.
he wants a son. really bad. and i dont want another child at all. i have no desire for another kid. i told him the other day i cannot conceive a baby just because he wants one. not that im not willing to sacrifice for him, but a sacrifice like that is dangerous. i told him if the new child every gave us trouble, i could end up resenting the child or DH...because i never wanted it to begin with. i KNOW how truly awful that sounds, but i am human, and im just saying i COULD feel that way in my own sinful nature. no doubt i would love the baby, but i dont want another CHILD.
i know ill get baby fever. i know ill miss having a little baby. me and DH discussed fostering a baby when that happens. im not going to try to conceive just because i want a BABY...because i know i wont want a CHILD. if that makes sense. so we could foster a baby; and love on the baby that has no parents. and in turn i'd get my baby "fix."
as far as cars; i have a little audi a4...and i LOVE it. i'd never ever ever ever ever ever trade it in for anything bigger than another little sports sedan. i couldn't drive a minivan (no offense) OR an SUV. i like my little stick shift. :)

Gas here is 2.65.  The highest it's been in awhile is 2.69.  I guess I feel fortunate now looking at ya'lls gas prices.  Takes me about $50-55 to fill up my expedition.  DH can fill up his little Mistubishi truck for $29.
