@carlee A little solidarity- I’m unexpectedly pregnant with number four because of an imperfect cycle of NFP. (We were thinking of having another, but trying to a void at the time.) I’ve been doing NFP for years, and never had an issue until that one time my body decided to ovulate a week late...

@heavensdaughter I insisted on TDAP and flu shots for grandparents, aunts, and uncles with my first, born in 2017. My second was born in late 2019, so I had everyone get flu shots that year, too. Even so, he’s ended up with bronchiolitis twice, and had a hospital stay out of one of those times...

@johnsdani I need to embrace the “Yes I love it” response! We’re expecting number four, and I’m bracing myself for the snark.

@quirkycanuck My grandpa scoffed when we were talking about maybe having another kid (we had three at the time.) He asked incredulously, “what are you going to do, have six kids?” Funny enough, we’re loosely planning to have six. We turned it around on him, and now double down and laugh about...

@katrina2017 Goals! We’re expecting #4 out in Plainfield, and I already know we’re going to get funny looks. (We’re loosely planning about six kids!) I love the opportunity to say “full hands, full hearts.” The kids don’t want for anything here, either. We’ve got the time, money and patience...

@knightofchrist85 My husband likes to say, “we figured it out, and we’re good at it!” We’re expecting number 4, and he landed on that answer when jokingly asked that question by a coworker who also has 4 kids. Edit to add- I always say “we sure did, and it’s FUN!” Makes people slightly...

@seinfeld Wait- do they count all pregnancies, or just the ones that result in full term deliveries? I’ve been pregnant 11 times, but had 7 early losses. My problem is low progesterone, and that’s really only a problem in the first trimester. My three pregnancies that led to me bringing home...

@warriorofyahweh YES. I say “your brothers are not your responsibility” almost every day. My poor daughter is the oldest and the only girl, and I refuse to let her parent her siblings like I had to with mine.

@roguefriar Oh, we LOVE a good bribe around here!

We took our three kids to Sam’s club, in the middle of the day, on a Saturday. I’m pregnant with number four, and far along enough that I cannot keep up with my distractable 4yo. It was a recipe for a headache. I accidentally stumbled on a great way to keep everyone together; I told the two...
