Although I don\'t post very much on here I am on this site everyday checking out what everyone is up to and the Q & A's that go on. I have 2 children from a previous marriage (10 and 8) and my husband has never had any of his own. After we married in April of '07 we decided to have a TR which we had on Jan 4th '08. We have been blessed with our 1st TR pregnancy and I am now 17 weeks preggo (woohoo!). We did talk about having 2 to begin with but because of complications I had in the 1st trimester and my crohns disease not doing well in this pregnancy this may be our only 1 together but we do plan on adopting at least 1 child too. Every ones situation and dreams are different and I respect every one of them. Best wishes to all of you wonderful ladies!

I am not worried about having many more, the way I figure it is I did my part by fixing what I needed to so it is up to God now. If we get one more, I would be thrilled.
We have 4 great kids. Three grown and one 13yo. I came from a large family. So I love lg. families.
My sil and her dh had 7 children. She had her last at 41. Sadly, her DH passed away this time last year. And it is truly amazing how God has taken care of that family, (with no social services help). She didn't plan for his death (as none of us do), but she is being taken care of. She also has a nursing degree if she needs it. Her having the degree and keeping up her license was a wise thing to do.
Keep the faith ladies. Some of you sound sad about not having any, but keep positive. Your time will come. Blessings to those that are pg and those that have had children.

I am pregnant with my 2nd TR baby and my last. There will be no more for us, as we were very surprised by this pregnancy, but very happy to say the least. We had a Tr baby boy Isaiah in 2006. This will make 5 for us.
I have no chip. I'm not sure why responding to a comment reminding people who have large families that they need to take care of their responsibilities, means a person has a chip.
I was simply explaining where we stand with our large family, since you brought up not being able to handle people who just wait and hope and believe for it to work out-as if that is negative. I find that very positive! I'm not sure anyone with any sense doesn't realize that having children means you need to be responsible for them.
I'm sorry you are angry at my reply. I just wanted to explain where I'm at. I was saying that you have no problem stating your thoughts on topics, and I have no problem with that. I'm an adult and I welcome and respect all points of view. I think all ladies should be able to say what they feel and be respected. I do think it is perfectly acceptable to counter someone's opinion on something with another respectful opinion. I don't find this anything to become upset about or that it is "fighting".
Anyway, I hope you have a blessed day full of peace and love in the Christmas season.

We have 6 children and 1 on the way. I had my TR 6-12-02. at that point we had 4 children. after my TR we had Gabriella Starr who is 5 now and Natalie-Jean Cecelia who is now 2. Donald James will be here at anytime now. he is and will be our 3rd tr baby(together) and 7th child. We wont be having anymore. I think my body has just had enough. only we can tell that ourselves. Mary, I understood what you were saying. I agree to a certain extent. Things get tough here but i tell you what, We wouldnt have it any other way. Its when they get tough we all pull together more. it's amazing. as I said, i agree with what you said but all cercamstances are different. good luck er1!!and BTW.... every day through all the termiol that goes on my in house i cant stop myself from standing back and looking and saying.... AMAZING! Jess

Yes we are a big family but we pay our own way for everything. My husband owns his own business and I am lucky enought to be able to stay at home with our children. I would not change one bit of it. Our children want for nothing. I have 2 in the army right now that both miss the family like crazy. You can ask anyone of my children and they love being from a big family. Alot or people assume that because you are a large family you are on public assistance and screwing the system. I know that there are people out there that do it but not everyone. We are taking things as they go and if we are meant to have more than so be it. We will welcome as many as god gives us. Not one of our children feel like they miss out on anything being from a big family. They are all at the top of their class. They play sports do scouts etc. We do it all. I know it is not the normal but we are a big family and love it.

I will take as many as I am blessed with....although it looks like I will be lucky to be blessed with just 1. Had my TR March '06 nad have only had 1 bfp, which sadly ended in mc. If we are finally blessed with 1, I am unsure if we will actively ttc again, as it is sooooo stressful, but I do know we won't be Preventing getting pg either. God Bless and Good Luck. Love and Peace, Julia

I am having my TR on Dec. 31st. We currently have two boys 13 and 11. They are both from my previous marriage. I am hoping to have a little girl after my TR. If not with the first one we will try one more time. So there will only be two TR babies for us.

Just to clarify.. I did not say that people that have large families are irresponsible nor are they a bad thing. I was just simply stating that if you have a want a large family, then be prepared to be able to support them in every way. Im not quiet sure why you felt the need to twist what I said or to imply that my comment has less value or meaning than yours, by saying "(because she is allowed to make them)". Im not quiet sure what that chip on your shoulder is all about but it doesn't look pretty sitting there

At 42 I just hope to have at least one healthy baby before its too late. I think that is all DH wants anyway. Anything more would be a suprise, but well loved. Like Sandra said, I will be just happy to have one, if that is God's will....and i sooo pray it is!
