[…] This post is an older one — 2008. We had been trying to have a baby for almost 3 years with no success. I had been really open on my blog that we were trying to have a baby with no luck. […]

Well being a mother of only two I support the two boys option. Can you imagine three boys? I can’t and that kind of put the breaks on for me. I tease Matt that we will adopt later when we are older. Seriously though I know your faith empasizes large families but I don’t think it is cut out for everyone. God knows your individual quirks and what you can and can’t handle. I have seen Mom’s of large families when they are young and when they are old and you know what – the chaos never stops – never. And then when they have families of their own you’ll be that more pulled in different directions. So that is my two cents. Don’t feel pressure!!

Oh yeah…Heavenly Father knows what’s best. And I think that if those other things would help, you’d feel like you should do it. Took me a year to get Sophia here, but I also am thankful it takes so long because no way in heck could I parent kids that close together. Also, no way in heck could I be pregnant that close together.

Have a nice break, and the Lord will let you know what’s best when it’s all over.

I like the comments so far….that the Lord knows us so well and all the details of our lives and what will be best for you. We get LOADS of pressure about having a girl and in the end, I’m like you. I feel happy with our life the way it is right now. I feel stretched caring for and giving individual attention to the three I have. Number 3, by the way, rocks your world!!! In any case, just keep doing what feels right and keep asking the Lord to confirm that it’s His will. In some ways it would be easier on me to just turn up pregnant because then I’d feel like it was the “will of God” and then I’d assume that He would make me equal to the task. As for deciding on my own, I just don’t think I can handle another….and I think that’s o.k.

I understand! It was a hard (ok hard is really not the right word) for us…roller coaster of emotions and thoughts. The best thing to know is that the Lord is fully aware of you. He knows us and is in the details of our lives. He will directs us if we put our trust in Him. I know you know this, but I think it is always nice to hear:)

Children always keep us guessing. Whether they are actually conceived, in the womb, or driving us crazy here on Earth. We’re trying to figure out number 2 right now and it all just seems confusing. You can never plan our lives and that’s so hard when it’s all out of our control. I hear ya!

(((HUGS))) to you, Hilary. I think about having a third child sometime myself, but I think #2 (born 18 months after #1) is the one that is forcing me to the brink right now (through no fault of hers–just where I am right now). (((HUGS))))

Drat! I just lost a very long comment I had tried leaving so I’ll just keep it shorter this time. We had a similar experience with #2 and our kids ended up 5 years apart (not by choice). Then along came #3 18 months after #2! Talk about crazy surprises. But looking back – Troy and I were in different parts of our lives in both those situations and I know for me having the second two that close versus the first two worked for us. I honestly think if it would have been reversed I might have had a very hard time. So for me, I do have faith that Heavenly Father is aware of us too. And even when it’s hard for us to understand why things are happening the way they are, he knows the master plan. We’ll be rooting for you guys!
