UPDATE to Oops . . .
Karen said:
That's great that he took the news well and is looking forward to the new baby. I know my husband would have a similar reaction if I told him #7 was coming. Any plans for lucky number 7? :-) He would feel a lot better if he could tell people. But I'm afraid it will get back to my family somehow if he does that. And I just don't want them knowing before the wedding. He did tell a group of guys from another parish when he was attending an effective fathering seminar there this weekend. That was fun, because in a room full of Catholic men you are going to be affirmed for being the father of a large family Most definitely! It is nice that there is one place where we are not a freak show as a large family. A matter of fact at our parish our family (8) is average size. Wow! We actually have more kids than most people in our parish. There does seem to be a trend back toward larger families, though. The largest family at our parochial school is eight, but there are several with six at this point, and I don't think they are finished yet. :-) Take care of you and the wombie and if need be let the dress out. Thanks, Karen! I haven't been fitted yet and I plan to share the secret with the seamstress and aske her to leave a little room. :-) Leslie |

I have 5 kids and people treat us like we are a freak show. Yeah, I get that even with four. They're all like, "I don't know how you do it," and to me it's like no big deal, you do what you have to and all that. I know lots of people agree with me that the real hard thing is going from one to two and after that the more the merrier. OR the louder, anyway. People round here like to have 2 or 3. We are trying for #6 now. I am not sure how many we will have, but the hospital tried to frighten us saying 5 kids is a lot, and my uterus wont contract as efficiently when in labour so I will be at risk of a PPH. Only time I had a PPH is when they induced me 2 weeks early and they over-stimulated my uterus! The only drawback for me is the aches and pains while carrying. It definitely gets worse with each pregnancy. I'm finding that as well. I am already feeling uncomfortalbe--like things are loosening up. Leslie |
