There are 7yrs between Tommy and Elaine and 3 between Elaine and Trina and 6 between Trina and the one I lost; never got pregnant again.... Someone once told me that I should be grateful to have the one. She had 3 and had lost several, so she was not being sarcastic, just realistic. I tried to be happy, and was VERY happy, to have him, but there was always a longing, a hunger to have a little one to nurture and to love who is a part of myself. Many times, accepting the Lord's will is not easy. Besides several of the General Authorities only have 2 children!!ZiggyandFamilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14459653759254552596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1424785827808222087.post-17113160652437144002010-01-24T21:05:40.849-08:002010-01-24T21:05:40.849-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.ZiggyandFamilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14459653759254552596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1424785827808222087.post-33283963838542959582008-11-14T13:20:00.000-08:002008-11-14T13:20:00.000-08:00Since I'm friends with you and I know what you've ...Since I'm friends with you and I know what you've gone through, that is a question I don't genrally ask people because you never know what their circumstances are. See, you've made me a bit more sensitive the people around me! The concept of the number of kids someone has is kind of funny to me. Whenever I talk to anyone I grew up with and tell them that I have three kids they are shocked. Like, wow that's a lot of kids! When I talk to anyone from around here, they're like, when are you going to have more? I think it's rather amusing. I'm with Sherrie, though. I think one more just might push me over the edge! (that's just because I'm not a very patient person!)Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04883900840465659996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1424785827808222087.post-67492112582187383882008-11-12T16:31:00.000-08:002008-11-12T16:31:00.000-08:00I (sortof) understand where you're coming from bec...I (sortof) understand where you're coming from because of watching Kathryn go through infertility. I also have a neighbor who has never been able to have children, but has adopted 4 beautiful kids, but says she still feels like she doesn't feel like a "woman" because she's never experienced childbirth.<BR/>After 3 kids, I still get asked all the time, and it's still hard even when my reasons are that I don't want to end up in the looney bin by having more kids.Sherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03380959865544480160noreply@blogger.com
