Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I can't think of anything I can really add to what you have already written.

Just another question for everyone: how close together are all your kidlets? (age wise)

23, 22, ~20, 17.5, 16, 14, 13, 10, 8.5 & 6.5

Average gap: 1 yr, 8 mos, 26 days
Closest: 12 mos., 9 days
Farthest: 2 yrs., 8 mos.

My kids are 25, 23, (one who would have been 19.5 had she lived), 17.5, 15.5, 13, 9, 7, and 5 yrs old.

The closest gap is 17 months between my first two (I formula fed them both). The longest gap was between my 23 yr old and my would-have-been 19 yr old at 4 yrs difference. The gap between my 13 & 9 yr olds is about 3.5 yrs. Everyone else is about 2 yrs apart.

1. Do you take into account financial status before continuing to have children? Not really. Zeke isn't far in his career at this point, and I'm not going to say we're well off. Our babies don't have 200 outfits and a bunch of toys either. We rely on God to supply us with what we need. We have, however, been blessed with a house that we own.

2. What do you do when the doctor says you have to wait 1-2 years between kids (is this even a problem most of the time?).. I myself was told to wait 5 years because of the toll it took on me...

I don't go to a doctor now. So it shouldn't be a problem for me.
3. Do most families that practice the "quiverfull" lifestyle have a stay at home parent? (I would think this would be imperative but what do I know)

From what I've seen, yes. I am a stay at home mom.

4. Is there ever a secure stopping point, or is not having a stopping point the point (too many points )?
We don't plan on a "stopping point" really. We've given that to God. When He doesn't want us to have more, we won't.

My sister is training to be a midwife, and she takes care of all of my pregnancy and birthing care. She knows my beliefs, and agrees with them.
