When we told him we were going to start trying for more a few months ago he said, "I just think that 3 is enough..." after he laughed and asked me if I was kidding... Don't you just LOVE the Duggars!? I love them. I've had the daycare question before too. Sigh. Oh well.

The other day I made a comment about how I had adjusted and three wasn't bad. My family member replied, "well, don't go getting pregnant again. You don't need another one." Grr.....I don't think three is that many either. It's not like the Duggars 18 :) I was once asked if I ran a day care service. Oh, and I get, "you have your hands full" about 8 times a day. Anyway. I'm done. Thanks for the post. I enjoyed it! Ha! The other day I made a comment about how I had adjusted and three wasn’t bad. My family member replied, “well, don’t go getting pregnant again.

Um. No. I just like to randomly pick up other people's kids and bring them on my errands with me... Seriously? You'd think I already have 10 kids... I never realized that 3 was 'a lot.' Ha ha. I'll be honest, most of our family disagrees with our choices. But who cares? :-) They aren't financially, morally or spiritually responsible for our family! Anyhoo - thanks! :-) Thank you! :-) I think the most irritating comments I get are, “Are they all your’s?” Um.

I completely agree. I am tired of all the comments regarding, "I hope you are done" or "You're not having any more kids, are you?" I am not sure we're done either. I wish you blessings for another baby. They are the greatest gift ever. K Great post! I completely agree.
