So real soon we are getting my IUD out and trying for baby #3. Now I am not sure if we will continue with no birth control of what..... I am torn on being quiverfull or not, but I like the idea.....its kinda scary though.


I want another baby so bad but then i think, how will i manage 3 and still have some time to myself.

You'll manage (somehow).

A friend today asked how I was and I said "tired". And she said " and you're having number 5?" with THAT look on her face (she only has 1 btw). My response "well I'm always tired anyway, I don't think it will make much difference"

And at this stage DH is really wondering whether this is 'it' for us (he does not consider himself QF but was happy to have a big family). : (

Just take it one child at a time and see how you go.

How exciting Picture Of Obedience. I hope you are blessed soon!

I don't really understand the scariness part, just from my situation it's likely that I'll have a hard time getting pregnant again (without meds), so it's very easy for us to sit back and say trust God for if/when it happens. You fertile ladies are very brave!

Having children is a little bit of dying to self each time. You do have to sacrifice time and sleep in a variety of ways. I am not saying you won't have any time to yourself, but it may be true that if you are sure you want to maintain a certain amount of time to yourself then being quiverfull will be hard. There's always the time after bedtime and before yours, although with a newborn even that is at risk. Good luck!
