Anyone have more kids than they originally planned but it turned out to be the best thing & better than you imagined?
My partner and I talked about having kids right from the start of our relationship. We were young and setting our life goals so we agreed on 2.
I thought two would be perfect and I even lucked out and we had a girl and a boy. My partner was happy with our family but I still felt kind of "empty".
I told him I loved our little family but I feel like theres still a piece missing and we discussed having a third.
He wasnt really thrilled with the idea at first but after listening to my side and how I felt about it he agreed.
I'm due next month and he's so excited now.
Three will be interesting but I already feel so full and can't wait to meet our last son 😊
I never thought I'd have more than 3 but here I am with 5 and I'm thankful for all of them. People call me crazy but I couldn't imagine my life without them. ❤️
@xoamac, Me! When I was in highschool I didn’t want to have any! I had so many dreams that I didn’t think I could give myself whole heartedly to being a momma and a profession. But, we ended getting pregnant at 18 and I still was able to complete all of the dreams/achievements I set out for myself. Now I’m a mommy to 6 wonderful kids, and a College Graduate with 3 degrees! I’m so thankful that I was chosen to be their mommy!
@xoamac, Yeah my husband can sometimes work out of state and sometimes out of the country. That was a bit touch and go for a bit.
Does your school have a preschool on campus? That helped when I was going to school too, to be able to take some of the kids with me and drop them off at preschool.
@ourfamilyof8, no it doesn’t but wow!! That is so awesome!
@xoamac, It definitely helped and the kids loved it. I would look into student resources on your campus because that’s how I found out about the adjunct preschool mine had.
This makes me sad. I always thought I would have more than one, but here I am, middle aged with only one sweet boy. I’m so glad I have him, but I always feel wistful when I see women that get to have more than one.
@scruffy.nerf.herder, Awh this made me sad!!! 🥺 You are an awesome mama to an amazing 8yr old!!!
Side note: You never know he may give you lots of grandbabies 😄
I’m actually a bit scared of this myself! I can only imagine if my kids each have as many as we do! I will literally will have 36 grandkids lol 😱😂
@ourfamilyof8, my husband is an only child, and now my son is too. My son talks about wanting to get married and have kids when he’s a grown up, so maybe I will have some grand babies to dote on. I will definitely be old by that point!
@scruffy.nerf.herder, That’s awesome, so young but knows what he wants already!! Age is only a number love 😉😄
I only planned on two, and when my girls were 10 and 8, I got pregnant with my son. I cried for a week because I had finally gotten to the point that I was finding myself again outside of just being “mom”. But this little guy is one of the best things to ever happen to me and I couldn’t imagine my life without him in it.
When I was younger I always imagined 3. After having 1 me and my husband decided no more 1 was enough. Now I have #3 in the works due to birth control failing with my 2nd and 3rd. I couldn't imagine my life without my 2nd hes exactly what I needed and I'm sure I feel the same way about the 3rd
Never wanted any. God changed my heart and I had my first at 33. Now have two and want one more.
the amount of women who are clueless about their own anatomy is so sad and shocking. a lot of the women are older than me and have more children then I do 😳
now I understand that everyone has their own opinion on the topic and grown adults can do whatever they want with their bodies but to deny facts and make up false statements about your own anatomy when it comes to your unborn child is just so disappointing.

My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...
Sandy!!
Who's getting caught up in this crap? I just read they are conservatively estimating more than 10 million people without power. Ugh!

“You look too young to be a mom!”
Or how about …
“You have a BABY? No! You look like a baby yourself!”👶
Oh wait, here’s a good one …
“Are you the nanny, ooor … ?”
“No, yeah I’m his mom,” I’d reply. “Yes, I am young,” I’d agree.
Considering I got pregnant straight out of college, I was certainly on the younger end of the parenting spectrum. (No one was more surprised than me, I assure you.) And yet, I wasn’t exactly a teen mom. I wasn’t juggling school courses and motherhood, like so many s...
Yep wanted zero due to anorexia, had my first due to rape and now I’m on number #6.
