They are sweet girls though so that helps.Bethany B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17686309155782635830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086370502417959569.post-89634704048765740492012-02-06T10:43:01.022-05:002012-02-06T10:43:01.022-05:00I have always told people that my step-daughter is...I have always told people that my step-daughter is good birth control. We weren't against having our own but didn't really go for it either--if it happened, it happened. Glad it didn't. But if it had, I would've wanted twin boys...I have no idea why.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086370502417959569.post-2015763952191185922012-02-06T07:58:15.970-05:002012-02-06T07:58:15.970-05:00I always wanted two!

Not a happy camper, I was busy and involved with my girls, I was down to my lowest weight in years, and hubby was on the road and gone 4-6 days a week. This was not in the plans. Thank God the plans changed, because I was blessed from the day he took his first breath! Sure he broke my heart from time to time as he grew into a man, but I wouldn't change a thing! Son's are special to Mom's no matter how many you have!Dilly ~ Sandra Dillingham-Schaferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09483391415705024159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086370502417959569.post-66781112697526630312012-02-05T11:16:06.292-05:002012-02-05T11:16:06.292-05:00I always thought 4 would be nice.

great to see that you have a blogsite ...Hi Ellen, <br /><br />great to see that you have a blogsite I can visit:))<br />I am going have to sit and read through it all with a cup of coffee in hand :)<br /><br />I have a daughter and a son with an age difference of 7.8 years and from the same marriage ;) I also was quite happy to have one child, and she kept me busy!!! Well after 7 years went by I had a girlfriend who wanted another child she also had 1 boy and the age difference was the same as with my daughter. Initially I said no to the thought of another child, but by the time she almost gave birth to her daughter I was so broody that we decided to try and have another child, I was pregnant within the month, but not because I felt a pressure to do so, although I too had family members who found it very sad for my daughter to grow up without siblings!( they have 6 kids now, not quit the norm these days either!) Of course I am very happy that we did so! I think it is interesting how people react to anything outside the norm, I think the same applies to girls that don't get married etc... as if one could not be happy or full filled as a person without it!<br /><br />Have a lovely Sunday <br />AstridAstrid Riedelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05050990747079764727noreply@blogger.com
