Hubby changed his mind...

[ChristianMama84]

Hey y'all!!

Well, hubby and I are going to start using NFP as BC for a little while, but he has now decided he only wants 5 because it's hard to get up in the middle of the night. I'm the only one who gets up, besides the dog. I'm hoping when we reach five he decides to have more, that would be good. I'm really hoping for nine, but I figure if he wants to stop having bio children when we reach 5 maybe we can adopt a ton of kids. I guess I really want a large family cause I was an only child.

God bless, y'all!!

Only wants 5

DH and I decided at least 4, re-evaluate after that. We're now at 4, only just got my cycle back (12 months post partum) so we're currently talking about it every so often.

We've been getting disrupted sleep (not so much getting up) for 8 years straight now, it does get a bit much after a while.....

Just take it one at a time, and see what God has planned.

Just take things as they come....it's easy to be quiverfull with one child. It's easy to want 9 with one child.

Be thankful for each child and live in the moment with purest joy and gratitude for that child. DOn't waste that precious time thinking about the babies that are yet (God willing) to come.

lol.... girl... I'm with the others.... take it one baby at a time.... God will lead the way

Here's what you need to do.

Once you reach five babies (PRECIOUS BABIES) tell your husband that you are satisfied and that you don't need anymore.

"Agree" to go on birth control (EVIL) but after a while, stop taking those pills.

WHAM BOOM!!!!!! BABY #6!!!!!!!!


Worked for me.

So true! After my first I was like, yeah 6 no worries (God willing), now with 2 I'm thinking 2 is actually really nice, please God can we just stay at 2 for a while!!! Kids are hard work!!!

 

[Leanna]

lol I too notice that a lot of people are quiverfull until they have 2 or 3....

 

[-~Truth_N_Trust~-]

lol, being truly quiverful in practice is very brave!!!

It's easy for me because of my fertility issues I'm not worried about accidentally falling pregnant too quickly, I don't know if I'd be so easily quiverful if like my friend I had 3 under 3 and got pg just by looking at my DH!!!

I think we've come to the conclusion that 5 is probably going to be the limit until we start sending kids to college. Then we'll foster or adopt, which makes both of us happy.

I'm not sure where we are at. My DH is thinking that maybe three is a good number. I kind of feel like our family won't be complete yet, but who knows! We have at least six months to pray and figure out what God would have us do before we have to worry about another baby. IAC, if we did wind up with a "surprise" baby it would not upset us. Each time we have a baby we just can't imagine our lives without them!

When we got engaged, DH said he wanted 10. I laughed. Don't ever laugh.

I'm pregnant with (technically) #10 right now, and I'll be 48 next week. G-d is totally in charge.

I had them one at a time and didn't really think about how many all together we'd have... And it's taken 25 yrs to get to this point, so mine are all spread out.

Yeah Jan I know about not laughing there has been so many things in my life that I said to God I would never do and I have had them all happen. I know am very careful of saying the word never.

God is in control.
