talking with my stepmom (still getting to know her) she referred to Anna (4 months) as being attached at the tit and there fore obligated to going everywhere with me, lol.

Mama to a great bunch of girls and one little prince!
I have no limit but I think dh is done, based on our ages! We are almost 40 and he doesn't want to not enjoy the grandchildren or have children in high school that have to visit the nursing home (to see their parents) for Christmas . I understand what he is saying but I would LOVE about 2 more!
Statistics don't always tell the whole story, though. There are individual cases that don't fit the statistics. I think it's entirely possible that for some reason this woman always released a lot of eggs per cycle.
I think so too

No way! OK, so I am going to be 60 by then and I vouch right now right here to contribute AGAINST this statistic Anybody with me? We gotta shift this one

75% overweight and 41% obese by 2015 (essentially SIX years from now).
100% overweight by 2030

"Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law?
Jesus said until him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And, the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
On these two commandments have all the law and the prophets."
I never had a magic number of how many kids I wanted, or a limit. Dh and I decided early on that we would take it as it comes, and consider each child already in our family, our needs & situation before trying for a baby. That said, sometimes you don't have control and we haven't been able to welcome as many living children into our family as we would like. I know DH would love to have more children. I would love to have more children. The kids would love to have more siblings. Right now that doesn't seem possible and our needs and situation seem to be telling us that we are good with the blessings we already have.
I haven't read the original blog but is this physically possible without having her uterus rupture (or some other major medical incident) from sooooooo many pregnancies?? I do have a freind that just (10 months ago) had her 13th (healthy and happy) and she has no twins or triplets, got married young and just was lucky enough to have lots of kids.
i am feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment with 3, but I know it will pass. I feel like one child is missing but I feel like i could have 3 more. DH is one of 5 and he felt that was too many - I think his reasoning though are purely financial.

My dh and I started dating in high school and we were teased that we'd have five kids. Ok, no biggie (dh is the oldest of five). My limit was age - I wanted to be done having kids at 35 yrs. I had dd5 at 34.5 yrs old. That sealed it for me! (Well it was more that I felt content that our family was complete.)
I love my kids to pieces, but I am selfish and ready for some me-time. And some DH-time.
