BIG FAMILY
Its been no secret to mine and Ralph’s family that we are trying to conceive again. We have in fact been trying to have a baby ever since Kaitlyn turned 6 months old. So far i still haven’t gotten pregnant. Before we got married we talked about how many children we would like to have and how many years apart do we want out kids to be. We decided it should be like a year apart so that the kids will grow up together.That was the plan but it looks like its not going to happen the way we want it. If i do get pregnant they will be almost 2 years apart.
I’m the youngest of 2 girls and Ralph is the youngest of 3 boys. My sister and I were never lonely, we had our cousins to play with, fight with, laugh with, eat with and hide with. I never really wished for another brother or sister, i was content with just having a big sister. We did have a big family when you include maternal grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins. It was and still is pure magic, harmony, fun, joyous when the whole family gets together. Ralph is also the same way and he is very very family oriented like me. What irks me is when other people say something about us having another kid again. I just hate it when people say : “your crazy to have another baby when the youngest is only a year old or wait at least 2-3 years before having another baby”. I just want to scream in there faces and say shut up!!! Just keep your opinions to yourself, your not going to feed nor take care of my kids anyway so what are you worried about? Of course this people don’t understand and all they think about is what problems are going to arise when having a big family, only the negative side. They forgot to think about the positive side of having a big family where there is lots of love, patience, understanding, laughter and harmony. I see Michelle and Jimbob Duggars (if I’m not mistaken)and they are the picture of happiness and love. Now that is the right parents to author a book about parenting. They may not be professional psychologist, pediatricians, doctors but they are real parents.
I want to have at least 3-4 kids, its going to be hard work but once they turn a certain age they get much easier. All i know is that no matter what, we will be a parent to each one of our children.
