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 part of the reason i love my mom's mini van compared to my older SUV i had, her van is a 09' toyota uhh whatever the van they make is LOL and at around 2.90 a gallon 40 fills it! and if were just running around town itll last us about a week with me and DH using it and her using it with my brothers.

Yeah and the snow thing, i'm definitely not looking forward to bring a newborn home in the dead of winter here, Especially because we live about 50 miles from Chicago and its called the Windy city for a reason! The wind comes off lake michigan and the wind chill is  almost 10 degrees colder then the actual temp! it can be 40 but if the wind is blowing it feel slike 30! BRRR. I miss living in southern california lol

I said 4 cause thats all i can imagine at the age of 20 and were already going on number 2. So we have time, who knows if thats what we'll still want at 30. When DS and DD will be older.

Hmmm I'm not sure I'm still coking #1 in here but my vagina is not a clown car so I'll for sure be keeping the kid count out of the double digits ;)

I'm working on selling it, but I'm really trying to avoid a car payment. I just paid off my car in February, and I hate to go back to having a car payment, especially since we'll have to pay for daycare next year (my parents are only watching Braeden for the first year)  Anyone want a car? lol

LOL I used to tease the crap out of my mom dubbing her "Mad Mama in a Minivan" it was soo nice when she retired it for the Suburban she now drives. I swore I would never drive a minivan like their old one, the Tot Bus. YUCK :0)

Since I have no intention of carrying on her "broodmare" instints, an SUV will suit me just fine. I'm particularly fond of the Pathfinder, Tuscon, Tahoe, Yukon, and the eco friendly Escape Hybrid. Hubby has a crew cab pick up so I'm sure space won't be an issue.

I'm currently driving an 08 Aveo, which will be fine with the one I'm currently expecting (due Jan) and will probably upgrade to the SUV of my choice next summer or later.

I say drive what makes ya comfy, and if that wood paneling makes you feel fancy, go for it mamas! :0) LOL
