Have you decided already how many kids you and your husband would like to have? Before having our first child, my husband and I wanted to have at least 3 kids. But after our first child was born, it would be lucky if we could have another child because it's so difficult to take care of even just one! And it's financially draining, too. Having kids is really a big responsibility.

I would only want to have 1 or 2 kids. 2 girls or 1 boy 1 girl never 2 boys. I think that at the early ages boys are too naughty and always get into trouble. But if you get a girl it's only at teenage years they will be trouble... and when guys get older they get much mroe mature :P

Having kids is definitely a huge responsibility but it's also worth everything you put into it. I had originally intended on only having two, but sometimes, the best laid plans, etc...anyway I ended up with three. I'd never in a million years change it now though. My two youngest are only eleven months apart but they are each others best friend. And as for the financial aspect, you learn to budget really well really quick, lol
