Just the two that I already have. Nobody's genes are so special that they should reproduce more than that. Sadly, that's not usually the case.

No genes are not special - babies and children are!

I would have one, like I have now. 1 Girl
I am not a gambler so if I wasn't sure I would get a boy then there was no way I was having another. Plus, this world no days. No money in this world could change my mind. It will be hard enough for my daughter.

I'd probably have several more (we have 5). Dh and I enjoy having 'so many' kids LOL. We are very happy with what we have, but I do work full time, and we have talked about how if I was still home we'd of had a 'few' more. But I'm not, so we're pretty happy-we make it all work somehow. We also plan to be involved grandparents someday!

Zero because I want all my time and money to stay with me.

I will keep my four but I will use all of that money to: live 20 min closer to the things we want to do in the city, and be able to do more of them, and hire someone to clean my house while I am off doing those things with my kids!

Just one more! I would take one more without any additional money or time! That makes lucky #7 for me!

I wouldn't have any more children. I have 2 wonderful dds and I'm expecting a third child in January. If I had all the time, money and energy in the world I would use it to bless my existing children. I've very happy and grateful for what I have. They've been the greatest gifts. I couldn't ask for more.
