That was touching. Having 8 children was definitely one of the best things I ever did.

I now expect you to have 8 children. Kidding:) You will be a great mom to however many kids you guys decide to have! And, for the record, sometimes I look at myself and wonder, “How do you do it??”

I always worry that people are thinking, “wow, she should NOT have another kid.” But I’m just paranoid that way. You’re probably a great mom!

So true! Nathan is one of nine and his parents would always ask themselves, “Can we handle one more?” If they thought they could then they did. Parenting is such an individual thing. I love having kids, but each time we add to our family we go through a period of adjustment and chaos. Eventually things settle down. Enjoy your adjustment period! :)
