It just amazes me how many people feel free to tell you how your life will turn out. I have been told more than once....like a 100 times that we will change our minds about having more kids. How do they know that? They don't. I don't speak up and say "You will regret only having 2 kids" because that would be RUDE.
I miss being around large families. Where we live now, 4 kids is a large family. 4 is NOT a large family.
I love the big extended family I have. There are 55 of us in all. That is aunts, uncles, first cousins, second cousins and spouses.
My concern is that we will only be able to have 2 kids. However, we are trusting God. He knows how many we can handle.

I know what you mean. We only have four kids, and people act as if it is a bunch. I will have to tell you some of things that people have said to us.
I have indeed heard of the Duggars. I knew that they were having a show, but we don't have cable, so I can't see the show. I am hoping that TLC or Discover (I don't remember which station) will make the shows available on DVD. If they come on again, maybe you could record it for me.
Shane and I went to a family conference in May. There were many large families there. In fact, Shane and I were in the minority with our 3 and one on the way. It was very encouraging to be around so many Christ-honoring, large families. I think we will make those type of family conferences something that we will attend often. It was just refreshing to be among like-minded folk. One family that really blessed us was the Serven Clan. Their website is servenclan.com. Visit their website if you get the chance. They are a family with 9 kids. The children were so great, and the older children, who are young adults, minister within the family. They gave us hope.
