I feel I'm ready to stop at my 2. I would LOVE the experience of pregnancy and birth again but can't imagine the process of starting over with a baby again! Maybe it will happen but my small family size choices are also due to my ecological passions too. Wish I'd have known about the blog carnival before I would have signed up!

But, I'm feeling my age is edging to high for my comfort in raising children as well as I'd like.<br /><br />I think we'll be done at five. It "feels" right.<br /><br />And I hope your travels might bring you all by Northern California for a visit!Zoie @ TouchstoneZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08688056216105729821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1168618921375018234.post-67640352500686024192012-02-11T23:56:45.372-05:002012-02-11T23:56:45.372-05:00When you use the term Carnival, you think that eve...When you use the term Carnival, you think that everyone is having fun, and since I'm one of the bloggers in this Carnival, I should be walking around with cotton candy and not putting the damper on things....But...with marital satisfaction (on average) tending to decline with the birth of each child....i worry about marriages in general....and finances in particular for couples who plan on growing and growing their FamSize. I've counseled couples by saying...as many or as few, as long as you think it through. So take it slow people....one child at a time and make sure that your indiviual health, your marriage, and your parenting skills are all in Tip-Top shape!

Sometimes when I'm playing with / caring for Peter, I can't imagine how I'll do it (without slighting him) when the next one comes along. I'm encouraged!<br />Thanks for organizing this carnival!CatholicMommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891482933710549819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1168618921375018234.post-52540101629145891082012-02-09T13:53:08.924-05:002012-02-09T13:53:08.924-05:00Im looking forward to seeing how motherhood gets e...Im looking forward to seeing how motherhood gets easier the more you have :) I feel the same as you, I have so much love to give, why not give it to lots of children :)Christine @ African Babies Don't Cryhttp://www.africanbabiesdontcry.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1168618921375018234.post-9269529363631047412012-02-09T11:58:03.696-05:002012-02-09T11:58:03.696-05:00I'm with you!

I feel exactly as you do: that motherhood actually gets EASIER with more kids. 2015 does seem like a long time to wait-- but we'll be excited to hear your baby announcement when the time is right! <br /><br />-KerryKerry McDonald, M.Ed.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05970816682727759140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1168618921375018234.post-24265316012030138242012-02-09T04:46:19.726-05:002012-02-09T04:46:19.726-05:00I'd like to mentally and physically feel as if...I'd like to mentally and physically feel as if I could have as many children, you have such a delightful family and I love your outlook on life - one of the reasons that I really enjoy reading your blog. <br />Travelling for 14 months would be amazing, it's something I'd really love to do too, but don't know whether we could risk my other half not getting another job when we returned! Plus I'm a sucker for keeping things safe, not much of a risk taker at all...maybe one day!Phoebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09412329628462581477noreply@blogger.com
