How many kids do you have?

[Desdichado]

Hey, I was just thinking after seeing a few new ENWorlders had babies recently... How many kids do you have?

I have four at the moment (with no real plans for more, but we're not necessarily saying we're done either.) That seems like a big family these days, but my wife and I both grew up in families with five kids, and when I was young I don't remember particularly thinking that was a large family. But at work, I have more kids than anyone in my entire department, which somewhat surprised me.

So chime in: anyone have more than that? And feel free to chime in even if you don't...

Strange, the Joy of Sex came out in 72, I thought you didn't quit buying books until 77

BOT: Only one child here, a son, who will hopefully be finishing college this year and my wife and I can start working on our empy nest

none. my wife & i have been married 8 years and have no desire for offspring. the two cats are enough. plus we both work retail jobs and that's not much income, especially if you had to raise a kid.

Two delightful girls, one of them about 3.25yrs, the other 0.75 years old.

For us, it's not quite 8 years--almost exactly 7.5, as I type this--and she's in school and I'm a writer, so the retail part doesn't apply. Everything else, though, including the two cats, is me a nutshell. Neither my wife nor I are kid people, and we've no desire to have them.

Congrats on all those who've announced recent births, though. Sorry I didn't chime in on the relevant threads.

I have 2 kids: a 6 year-old daughter and a 2.5 week-old son. And we're stopping there.

Currnelty my wife and I are at t-minus 4 months and counting. Our lovely child will hopefully be on time and healthy on or around Feb 20th and we are definately looking forward to her/him (preferably her). This would be our first.

I didn't announce our latest in a thread.

I now have two children. One is 5 1/2 years old. The other is 14 days today. We are not planning on having any more.
