 I know women with 4+ kids, who had little ones in their 40s, but they also had teenage kids to help.
Alone, it'd be brutal. Especially if you have really bright kids. 
 I was 35 when we had our daughter and we want 5 kids. We think that's a reasonable goal. Bare minimum is 3.

Ultimately we'll be happy with what God gives us, but we both wanted a big family.  
 We did, too. Barely managed two, but they're so active that they each counted double.

Baby math. 
 We have four and I started when I was 34. Doable 💪😀🤞. 
 Good. I've quit drinking entirely, now i just need to start a work out regimen. 
 Moooooar babies!!!! 
 Agreed!
