I have ONE daughter. And that's it. That's all I wanted. Not kidS.

(She has the flu right now and I feel so helpless. She was planned, and I'd never change things for the world -- but I'm not the maternal type... I feel lost when she's sick. There are not enough words describe how awful it makes me feel. It makes me so sick to my stomach [this little person that's a part of me - so green and ill] and I cry when she isn't looking.)

My daughter is in terrible two phase. Need I say more?

Aww yaya.. my daughter is TWO but I don't think it is so terrible. I figured it would be a nightmare, but it is so much easier than it was at first.

I'm in the planning stage... planning on kids in about 5 years.

I have a 4 year old and I'm pregnant. Happiest time of my life!! I was so depressed until I was 20 and little by little my life is getting happier! This pregnancy is WAY different from my last so, it's an adventure!!!

Have an almost 4 year old boy who seemed to get an extra helping of BOY. *sigh* I'm also pregnant with #2. There was not option for already a parent and expecting another.

G1amourpuss - I thought the 2's would be MUCH worse too, they weren't too terrible (other than I felt gypped at the time because the "terrible two's" started at 18 months, but they ended around 2.5). Now, the frightful/monstrous/shocking THREE's are something else all together. Wholly Moses! I feel like a majority of parents are conspiring out there to be like *mums the word* when it comes to the 3's because somehow no one would decide to engage in the endeavor if they had full disclosure of what a 3 year old is capable of.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't change it for the world, and even on his worse day he's still my little sweetheart. But, wow, I was not expecting this little person capable of articulating and rationalizing (and out arguing me, and I'm an attorney) things on a very high level. I thought I had another two years before we hit the rational/analysis/observation and full explanation phase. Never mind the sheer destruction a 3 year old boy is capable of.

They are wonderful little people and it is so amazing to watch their little minds and personalities grow.

have 3 kids...wouldn't want more, wouldn't want less...its all good!

I'm no way near being pregnant but I have a niece who I love as my own daughter! so I guess I'm in the infant phase! lol

I have three kids and we're very open to at least one more. But if not, we're happy where we are, too.

I've always thought it should be called the Terrible Threes because three was much more difficult than two. But I personally wouldn't change it for the world or stop having children. Not a reflection on anyone else's choice, just my own.

Kikidawn really meant ONE year.

I've got a 9 year old stepdaughter, and then a girl who is 3 and a boy who is 1.5, they are sixteen months apart. I actually think 3 is really fabulous so far, but age 2 was scary for me! It is so much fun to see how different they are, and I can't imagine not rolling the genetic dice again.... We know we want a few more, but I will never intentionally plan two that close together again. It was and is a huge challenge!

Right now, however, it is 7:30 and I'm in the "Red wine + couch" phase of parenthood.

We currently have no kids, but are in the process of adopting internationally. Which means I have about another 2 years before I officially become a parent. It's not an easy wait.

tyau30 that is fantastic! I'm so for adopting children and giving them beautiful homes. I've always wanted to adopt children. (Maybe when I'm in my 30s or 40s one day if I have more money.)

I'm in the "juggling one 2yo and 2 teens" phase.

Mom to a 19-month old son and a Wheatus the Fetus.

I have 5 kids (in my mind of course, I even have names picked out). I want to be expecting in around 9 or 10 years (ya ya I'ma youngster). But I'll see how it goes.

In the trying and hoping phase.

I'm about eight weeks pregnant with my first child, and couldn't be more excited!!

We have a 14 month old. I love virtually every second of it. I really feel as though I was born to do this. Mommyhood is without a doubt the best job I have ever had. Ideally, I'd love to have 3, but I'm guessing my husband will be set with 2. We will just have to see what happens.

I'm a 19 year old unemployed college student who still has her V-card. Needless to say, I'm not having a baby anytime soon. I would like to have one baby by the time I'm 25, but we'll see how it goes. Eventually, I want to have 4 kids, but I might stop after the first one. It depends on the experience.

I don't have kids, but cousin's kids are like my own and I hurt when they hurt, I get mad or sad when they're sad or mad and I don't let anyone give them crap, but I also rule with a firm hand so they know they can't take advantage of me. I can't wait to have kids!

I'm in the trying to conceive stage. I have been for a while now I hope soon I can move on to the next stage

Good for you Californiagirl, keep that V-card for as long as possible.

a 9 and 1/2 year old and a 7 month old. The first was easy peasy all the way. No terrible anything... new bebe is a handful (adorable, but work) I imagine I will have terrible twos, threes, fours through the 30s That's what I get for having the easy one and not understanding why everyone else couldn't control their kid

I have two kids - 3yr old boy and 16-mo old daughter - and I would love to have two more! My husband is cutting me off at 3 so one more baby and that will be it for this family. I am from a family of 4 kids and thrive (good or bad) in the chaos of a large family. I've always wanted 4 kids and even after the hustle and bustle of two, I haven't changed my mind!

I have a 21 month old son and we have just recently started our process for international adoption. I have to admit, I am pretty glad it will take a year or more. I can't imagine having two children right now!

wadewifey3 - Thanks! I intend to, I'm not in a rush to give it up to a loser. I'm picky

I have a 9 year old and a soon to be 4 year old and would like another baby but I think my eggs are past their sell by date.

We're in the planning part. We got married about four months ago and will probably start trying in about a year. We just moved to another country and want our situation to be a bit more stable before starting a family.

I probably should have chosen other but I chose I have kids. I have one baby girl at the moment but am also expecting baby number 2 in Mar

I have an 8 year old, 7 year old and an almost 2 month old. We are DONE! One boy, two girls. I feel very fortunate.

I have one son and I think I'm done! He's a lot of fun but it's a lot of hard work as I am a single mom. Wouldn't have it any other way though!

I've actually never been into kids, and I surprise myself every day when I click on lilsugar several times a day. I think I'm beginning to come around and want a bay of my own maybe in the next year. I want to make sure my husband and I are both financially stabe before taking such a huge step in our lives.

I'm afraid of pregnancy and all the changes it causes to your body - so, so far we've talked about only having one... I'd love to adopt, but at the same time I'd rather have just one child. So we'll take our time deciding whether adoption is right after we've had the first one.

No kids, but eventually... I think I still have some growing up to do first

haha LiLRuck! Oh how I wish
... unless God decides we need a little blessing before then it'll be about 4-5 years.

Two little tykes running around- 6 yr old and 3 year old. I 'thought' I wanted another one, but don't know yet. I think the hubby is fine and really happy with just two, but he understands I am not quite ready to say we are done. Some other things need to be sorted out (houses, schools) first.

I am 25 weeks pregnant! I'm scared and happy at the same time! I am 36 and this is my 1st! I have already been thru the amnio and the waiting 10 days to find out that my baby does NOT have downs! Thank goodness. That was the longest 10 days of my life!

I'm 39 weeks, 5 days pregnant !
(due Sun).. first baby.
