Nellie, you and your family are an inspiration to those of us who are or feel " inadequate" at times. Having a child, regardless of the number is a blessing and a privilege. Children are a privilege. I think that is something many of us forget at times when life is chaos and challenging. I think many times the words that come out of mouths are those of jealousy. We may not realize it at the time but deep down when we examine the words...I think what many people want to say is..."I am very jealous of you for doing something I wish I was brave enough to do." I am envious and so very proud of you....ignore the negative nellies....they are only jealous!Ashley McCarthynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644747660223494389.post-4616965845391900952011-10-24T20:44:06.414-07:002011-10-24T20:44:06.414-07:00Yay!!

We were at our grocery store and some lady I didnt even know stopped my husbade and myself asking if they are all ours I am fed up with the comments so I looked at her and said No we stole a few from the mall... should have seen the look on her face. But favorite is when people look at me and say "wow you must have your ands full" I always answer back Id rather have them full than empty. And we only stopped at 4 because I had to have all 4 C-Sections and was advised any more would be too risky to deliver that way again:( CONGRATS TO U AND URS<3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644747660223494389.post-60639937846948027902011-10-16T07:33:29.817-07:002011-10-16T07:33:29.817-07:00I am the 5th "child," and youngest, and ...I am the 5th "child," and youngest, and my father thought that that made a medium sized family!

Ppl SHOULD be ashamed of themselves.<br />If it makes you feel any better, I would have said "OOOHHHH!!!

I...Isn't it awful, the things people will say?<br /><br />I have three, but mine are all really close together. So, I heard comments even with my second b/c people couldn't believe that we would purposefully try for a second baby when our first was 8 months old. But, we did. <br /><br />and with our third, that was giving us 3 kids 3 and under... and yes, we know how that happens. <br /><br />And all of mine are boys. Which I love. :)Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811697675090627618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644747660223494389.post-31736054903706393692011-10-07T05:37:39.894-07:002011-10-07T05:37:39.894-07:00Been there.. done that.. got the over stretched ma...Been there.. done that.. got the over stretched maternity shirt to prove it!..
