I try to be. Children would be exhausting to parent in the current era. Humanity's future is gloom too.

I don't have any but want 2 I think. A few years ago I didn't want any but I guess I got older

I'd recommend considering adopting, if you don't mind me saying so. More paperwork sure, but way less pain for you or your partner, and they're really usually perfectly good kids. My neice, nephew, and cousin are all adopted, and they're no less a part of the family than anyone else.

It makes a world of difference to a child that already exists, and you spare the unborn the existential crises our world is facing- huge win-win.

Two's a good number. Not sure I'd say it out loud, it's like daring fate to give you triplets.
