I know there are people who believe differently, but I don't think you have to have unlimited numbers of children if that is not something you have prayerfully agreed upon. I had a lot of health problems, worse with each baby, and I am grateful that I was able to carry 4 babies.

With constant health issues now I argue with myself constantly. I really don't want more kids until I can take care of more. Still, it's tough, I never imagined having only two kids.

Girls can such weepy drama queens! I just didn't want to deal with that anymore. I was so happy to have my last little boy.

I got sicker and sicker with each one to the point where I spent 4 months at the beginning and another 2 months at the end stuck in bed unable to deal with anything at all, meaning poor hubby not only had to do IV's for me for the first part AND work AND deal with the kids Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13735948672915158770noreply@blogger.com
