As far as the little baby widgets that I have floating around my blog, it mentions (twice, I believe) about having my 20 kids. I have done the numbers, and have figured that if I continue on my '2 year track' of having children as I have hitherto done, I will be 62 when I have number 20. Well, obviously, that might not be quite possible. And, as we have no history of twins in our families (right????) we won't have that option available to supplement. I did know of a woman who was 56 when she had her last child, but she only had 13 kids, and if I were to have my last at 56 that would leave me with only 17, which would, of course, be short of my goal of 20. I have thought of adoption, but I don't know that they would really consider that with the number of kids we'd have. So, alas, I suppose that 20 kids may be beyond my reach...but who knows? Miracles do happen! :P
It is true that this baby will catch us up with my own parents. It also means we are halfway to Devin's! :) Devin has 6 sisters and 1 brother, I have 2 brothers and one sister. Usually, when people find out how many siblings Devin has, they always ask us if we're planning to have that many, so I always tell them we're not...we're going to have 20 instead and out-do everyone! Ha! Of course, it's not the truth. It's more of the We-have-absolutely-no-idea-how-many---Do-you? answer. I do love babies...and I love my kids more than anything. I plan to have at least 3. Probably 4. More than likely we'll have more. They're a fantastic tax break, and they definitely keep me from being idle and lazy! :) And beyond that, they teach me how to be extra loving and patient, how to be humble and teachable, and they show me each day a little vision of heaven! They are a blessing, and I will take as many as Heavenly Father is willing to send me! :))
