I ran across this and it fits:
Yes, they are all mine. Yes, we are crazy, but that happened a long time ago and has nothing to do with the size of our family. No, neither one of us come from particularly large families. Yes, my hands are full…usually of dirty diapers and baby wipes. No, we are not Catholic. Yes, we do know how his happens and we actually do have hobbies. Yes, we’ve seen Jon and Kate Plus 8. And finally (try not to be shocked now) YES, WE DO WANT MORE!

And, are we?
you forgot "no,I am not pregnant!" to that list. Maybe you should just make a shirt with all that on so that you don't have to keep repeating it!
Yes Laura, that's exactly what I was thinking.
I think I will call you first Sue if I do get pregnant, ok?
No, you will call me first because I said so!!!! and because I was apparently the last one to know you were pregnant with Jacob.
steph, this may sound ignorant but if i were able to have babies as "easily" as you i'd have a bunch too! more power to you! =) (i'm being serious)
Laura, I believe you were tied with Mom on that info. If you remember, Leanna outed me to you, Mom, and Aunt Cindy in Mom's kitchen. Aunt Cindy commented that I was losing weight and Leanna blurted out that I was pregnant.
I'm not exactly sure how you mean that, I hate pregnancy it's not easy at all, labor's DEFINITELY no picnic, and I do have my hands full with them afterwards. I don't think I'd use the word easy for any of my kids!!Unless you mean I get pregnant easy, that is apparently true. It's just something we've both always wanted and we make a lot of sacrifices(money, sanity, hearing, etc.)to fulfill that dream.
LOL (about the get pregnant easily comment =) )
No, I mean that you are able to deliver vaginally but please don't think I am under the impression that you are pain free, stress free, etc! (hence the quotes around the word easy HEHE it's very hard sometimes to communicate via written words!)
I guess I kinda knew this but the doctor told me a couple visits ago that I would never be able to have more than 3 kids because of my C Section. And 3 is pushing it. It was just a reality check for me. I never really thought about having a big family but I also never realized it would hurt when someone put a definite cap on how many kids I could have.
Anyways, I'm glad that you are able to have a large family because I know it is something you and Tom want! and I hope that explains my previous comment...
Jamie my mother had 6 c-sections and lived. Of course she was told with her 2nd last one that her stomach was so weak that if the baby gave a good kick if would break through her stomach wall. Just thought I'd share that.
And Steph....HELLO!!! Excuse me but you are supposed to tell your husband first and your mother second. And you didn't do that with any of them.
I don't know the issues involved with the C-section thing, but I do know that often doctors are wrong. (I don't mean that in a rude way at all, you and your doctor know what's best for you! This is just conversational) For example, Tom had not one but two ex-girlfriends that were told they would never have kids and both later did. (If you are reading this Sue that would be Korinna and Rhonda). Whatever is meant to be will happen regardless. I find that kinda comforting.
My grandmother too was told she couldn't have kids, so they adopted my mom. Then 3 yrs. later she became pregnant with my Aunt JoAnne, but was devastated when she died right after birth, through negligence of the doctor. Yes, it is true only our Lord knows the truth whether or not we can, or how many kids we will have in life. He doesn't give us more than we can handle in life, we just have to adjust to what he throws our way.
