And the sad part to me is that money sometimes dictates what we decide to do.<br /><br />I am sure you guys will figure out what the perfect family is for you :)Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421791174328553121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29413918.post-47723913663347288232006-11-29T05:20:00.000-07:002006-11-29T05:20:00.000-07:00You will do great with another.

The financial aspect is always a concern of ours', more so for my hubby. One thing I know is that we do not sacrifice like we could/should. There is so much we could cut out that would make things easier for us. <br />I would encourage you to keep on praying and God will bless you with His child when His timing is right. I know. Easier said than done! :) <br />Thanks for your great email. I'll respond soon! It was really encouraging!

And I wouldn't have it any other way. And truthfully, wouldn't mind one more. My hubby thinks I'm nuts.Life With All Boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16189240322245837211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29413918.post-69819062563149000172006-11-28T20:21:00.000-07:002006-11-28T20:21:00.000-07:00I encourage you, to just take it one child at a ti...I encourage you, to just take it one child at a time. That is how my husband I look at it. When my oldest was born, I knew we would have more but I knew it wouldn't be for awhile. Then we got pregnant when he was 2 -PTL- b'c had I known what 2 was going to be like with him, I may have opted to wait! Now, my second is 2 and CJ and I are ready for a third. If I had tried to plan it all out in the beginning I would have felt overwhelmed. Each time I am ready to get pregnant, it is because God has prepared our hearts and brings us to a place of being ready for another child in our home!This Journey of Minehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06439816307696068907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29413918.post-85328692414744367592006-11-28T18:47:00.000-07:002006-11-28T18:47:00.000-07:00Your son IS such a smartie!

The great thing is God gives us babies first (that sleep a lot) and not toddlers. I can't imagine how hard that would be to start off w/a busy, curious toddler.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29413918.post-68793914015457832252006-11-28T18:27:00.000-07:002006-11-28T18:27:00.000-07:00Great topic.

We've always wanted to try to have a girl and a boy, but agreed on a limit of 3. But now I'm thinking 2 would be fine even if we have 2 girls. <br /><br />I doubt my skills on a daily basis and wonder if my worrying could handle 3, but like you said, only time and God will reveal the answer to that question. My mom-in-law was blessed with a surprise third child when her youngest (my husband) was 16, so you never know...Lisa @ Heaven Senthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15795670644423933851noreply@blogger.com
