Benjamin: "Mom, why don't we have any more babies?"
Me: "Well, remember that it's just too dangerous for Mommy to have any more babies? (I have to remind Savannah and Benjamin about this a lot) Remember when you were born that Mommy almost died and you were born without a heartbeat and you needed help to start breathing again?"
Benjamin: "Ya, and I had to be in the hostable (hospital)."
Me: "Yes."
Benjamin: "It's not too dangerous for Holly to have more babies?"
Me: "No."
Benjamin: "Well I really like babies become they make our families bigger. Knox's mom has had lots of babies and they have a really big family. I like big families."
It's conversations like this that make my heart hurt. Even though I am feeling better every day with having three children, how do I help my children to be okay with it? Because I honestly feel like I am letting them down. And it makes me sad.

This is really tough. My kiddos have asked me the same questions. I just tell them that "we get what we get and we don't throw a fit."
The Lord has a plan for all of us and for our family. His plan for us consisted of us having four kids. We need to feel blessed with what we have and not push our luck. :) Love you and your fun blog posts!
