When we first got married, I said, 'ok, ten children is not logical, I'll settle for six'. After starting our family, and seeing the financial stress that we were under, and all that other stress, I then settled on four - four was it, four was my magical, perfect number - and it felt so right. So right. But I guess that wasn't God's plan, because my poor uterus gave out on me. Darn kids had to all be almost 10lbs! So then I always said that God had to stop me having my own babies, because I loved it so much, and I had always planned to adopt some, too - and if he didn't 'stop me' - then I would never adopt some, too. I always had the plan to adopt the 'unadoptable', not exactly abused, problem children - as that could put my birth children at risk, but, just not the perfect, blonde-haired, blue-eyed Anglo children, you know? My husband, however, grew way too tired. I think there might be some foster children in my future, though. We'll see. There's definitely something in my heart bursting for more children - I guess I'll have to wait and see what God has in store, as none of my 'plans' have really been it! LOL! Sorry for the comment-book, I just always get so emotional when I hear (read) you tell your story. Thanks, Cass! You bring out good stuff in me! {{{{{Cass}}}}}} I wanted many more, myself, Cass.

I don't have 8 -- I have 2. But the experience of finding myself pregnant in the middle of law school when we thought we were going to have 1 child . . . well, let's just say that my husband, a not overtly religious guy, summed it up perfectly when he got over the shock: "God had a better idea." He sure did and we can't imagine life without our "Mattie-Boo" (although we must never say that in front of his friends . . . he is 15 1/2 and a very cool dude). :-) As the mother of one totally unplanned, but NEVER unwanted, child, I can relate to this post.

Tough to think about that last one. (And I only have six.) Such stance is rare and I'm glad I found someone else who shares it with me. Thanks for posting it.
