Cheaper By The Dozen
A crazy thing happened when my baby died.
Hold that.
Ten thousand crazy things happened when my baby died.
There, that’s more like it.
But I have one crazy thing in mind today. I have a few theories about it, but no one has been able to offer me a credible explanation as to why this crazy thing happened. Are you ready?
In the course of 2 years I went from a desire to have zero children, to a desire to have a nice round family with two children
to desiring this.
Ok, well maybe I don’t want eighteen nineteen children, but if I was younger I just might.
I want as many babies as I can have. I want babies upon babies upon babies. I want kids coming out my ears and running wild and crazy and filling a bus and a campground and a compound of our own.
I know, bonkers.
You might think this is some wild fantasy where the more kids I have the more I fill the hole Joel left, I don’t think so. It doesn’t feel like that, it feels like I have so much love to give, like I have such an appreciation for the gift of life that I want to share and share and love and love and love. All of a sudden it just seemed so pointless to me to reject any children we might have. Now that’s crazy! We should welcome every single one of them we could possibly have in our life, and appreciate every single minute with every single baby we could be blessed to know in our family.
I’m not trying to make you think it isn’t completely nutty, I’m just trying to explain how it feels. Because, ummm, can you imagine me running a household of eighteen kids? Hehe, now that’s a vision of crazy.
Leo is just letting me indulge in this madness. I think we both know that life with even one baby will probably stop me in my tracks. I know we aren’t young, but I still think we could have at least ten kids. Ten kids would be AWESOME. We would be a dozen. A family of a dozen, SWEET.
I have to go, I think my uterus just had a panic attack.
LMAO! Don't be the Duggers! But I sure would love to see a few more of the cute babies you guys can make.

Woman, are you insane????? I concur, don't be the Duggers... or Octomom! However, as for your desire to have more children, carry on, a few running around would be fabulous.
As for your "craziness" about going from wanting no children to lots, I don't think it is all that crazy. I think it is probably more a function of that fact that you are finally at a point in your life where you have done all the other "stuff" that you wanted to do first. At least that is how it is in my own life. I never wanted kids until recently, but now that I am done with every possible degree I can imagine, now I am ready for "the next phase", which in my world includes kids. Possibly it is also a function of finally having a good and stable relationship with a man you love. Maybe before even though you thought you had that, maybe somehow you knew that you really didn't.
Anyway, my point is, you are the perfect balance of normal plus total insanity!

I felt the same way. I would love to have a bunch of kids, not to take Maurice's place, but because I have so much love to give, and I want to tell them all about their big brother in heaven with Jesus

Now, should you become Team Duggar Part II, you must dress the part with your denim jumper and 80's hair. Are you ready for that part?

That would be so difficult handling all those kids! Maybe you can just be a foster parent and care for kids who have no homes?
