Your family is so "normal" that I don't feel that your way out of my league. I am very blessed that my husband and I are a one income household. I am able to homeschool our seven children and I don't have to miss anything. I can continue to nurse ny babies alot long then the mom that has to go back to work. I pray all the time for god to see fit to give me another child. If people could only feel the warmth that comes from knowing that they are all hand pick by god just for each family, maybe other would open thier heart to more children.

We have nine so far, and are open to receiving more blessings. :) I enjoy hearing the thoughts on this topic of those who have bigger families than we do; it's encouraging and validating.

Oh, how I can relate to Steph's comment! We have easily conceived 2 children, when we wanted and without any complications. We feel truly blessed. We were again blessed with another baby, another pregnancy desired on OUR timing. When I became pregnant with our 3rd child I was certainly happy, but I have the feeling of "oh, third time around, old hat". I even joked with my midwifes office that this was our 3rd pregnancy, no need to come in right away to hear the heartbeat. A few short days after getting the positive pregnancy test, we lost that baby. We are devastated. I took for granted the miracle, the GIFT that God so graciously had given us. So, I too had "lost sight of the precious gift of life". I pray that God will once again bless our family with another baby, many babies. I no longer think that I am in control of my fertility. God is. Would you please pray for our family during this difficult time? We lost our baby just days before we celebrated the birth of our Savior. Would you also pray that my husbands heart would be softened and open to allow God to determine the size of our family. Blessing to you on your new venture!! I can’t wait to read your next book!!

It's not clever...it doesn't have alliteration...but it's so <i>compelling</i>. I was hospitalized for 6 days recently. I had a picture of my family in my room and to be honest I got tired of answering questions of every person who came in the room (are you going to have more???). Perhaps I was even embarrassed by my fertility. :( Then when I was going home a new PCA (who didn't hear my story I was so sick of telling) wheeled me out to the door where my hubby awaited. He quietly told me of his dreams to have a large family with 6 or 7 kids. His dreams were dashed when his wife began having miscarriage after miscarriage. They have only 3 children and have had 4 miscarriages. He said his wife (who originally didn't know if she wanted children) had recently been wanting to have another. I wanted to jump for joy and encourage him to--yes--try again and trust God. I was also crushed by my own selfishness and lack of joy in what God has blessed me with. Illness or not, I had lost sight of the precious gift of life. I can't wait to read your next book, I'm sure it will be FULL of encouragement and reminders we all need to hear. :) I love that for a title.

Excellent post. I always tell people...You will never regret having another child, but you might regret NOT having another child. I have had several people tell me "I wish I would have had another child...," all for different reasons, but the regret is the same. Blessings on your endeavor! Yes! Excellent post.
