Really five? Kind of feel nuts suggesting it but I am not done and I love my family
Why? Do only crazy people have five (or more!) children?

DH and I believe that children are a great blessing from God, so that's a big part of the reason why we have so many. But aside from that, I think if the pioneer women in the 1600's could begin their families at 15, and raise 10 or 12 or more children in a one room cabin in the woods, with no running water, no disposable diapers, no washing machine, no grocery store, no clothing store, no sewing machine, no laundry soap, no central heat/cooling, etc., etc. and survive it, then surely I, with all the conveniences I have, can handle 5, or 6, or however many we end up being blessed with! (And I know that some of those women were probably unhappy, but there are also records of many happy families!)

Of course, I don't mean that everyone has to think the same way that DH and I do, but I wonder sometimes why people think that 2 or 3 is all they should really have, because any more than that is just unmanageable. We as a human race have never had it so easy!

Anyways, that's just my two cents on that. Feel free to take it or leave it.

PPH - It was never mentioned when I had #5 at home, but I did have a synto injection, which I was fine with. Haven't had any issues with PPH so far. My midwives always bring synto to their births, as well as IV fluids, just in case.

Ash - you're getting so close! So exciting!

Hope everyone else is doing well!
