That is one big misconception I believe, it really isn't about how many and it isn't an easy road to walk. Even those of us who do have many do not have an easy time at it all the time either.

Still, we only have three, and we've experienced three miscarriages in 4 months. People once called me "fertile Myrtle" and joked that I could get pregnant if my husband just winked at me. Now we're just praying that God does bless us once again- whether by the womb, or by opening the door to adoption. .-= MandyMom.com´s last blog ..<a href="http://hernameismandy.blogspot.com/2009/08/life-remodel-challenge-tactics-of-devil.html" rel="nofollow">The Life Remodel Challenge: Tactics of the Devil</a> =-.

I really believe that there is, in some circles, almost a competition to have the most children. The couple who says they are trusting God for the number of children they have, and goes on praising Him with none or one have a very difficult road. Some are blessed with many, but alas, sometimes you don't see a joyful mother of children but a woman with a martyr complex! .-= Ruby´s last blog ..<a href="http://mummasplace.blogspot.com/2009/08/of-mary-martha-and-motherhood.html" rel="nofollow">Of Mary, Martha and Motherhood</a> =-.
