Motherhood is serious business and once in it, can cause a mom to second guess her original wanting to create further life outside of her own. Every mom has her number. For me it was my third. I already had 2 little ones, and now a newbie that would not let me put him down. Toss in the raging horror-monez of afterbirth and I was taxed.
I received encouragement from several girlfriends. Some of their wise words, I will remember for a long time to come.
"...Some women are just built to have lots of kids and are better off for it...we should!"
C. Hincy
"...I stopped trying to decide on the number of kids I will have, and now look at it like I am building something. I am building a little community."
L. Patricelli
"...I am not going to lie. Life is hard now, (having a son with autism) and I understand what people mean when they say that. I know that I am not in a position to have more kids at this time in my life; but know I will not be completed until I have two more."
S. Foote
"...I have to say I am having so much fun with my kids. Everyday is so amazing watching them grow. It is an honor to be their mom."
L. Reed

The world needs more of the stuff you are made of.
