Apr. 2, 2009 - I have changed my "Tickers"

Posted in Family


If you look I am sure you have noticed I don't have my weight loss ticker anymore it has been replaced......by a pregnancy one!!!!  Here was my announcement on facebook:  In November the final score will be 5 to 1 or 4 to 2.  Most people caught on right away!  My sister especially because we are pregnant together again for the 4th time.  This is how I announced it to everyone after all it is hard to get creative after this many!

All of my friends are excited and happy for us.  It is sometimes the people closest to us that don't understand our desire for a large family and they are "concerned".  Here is a great poem I want to share I found it on a momys group and it was actually written for "baby number 7" so I changed it a little.  I don't know who the original author was.  If you do please let me know.

Sixth
By Baby Way

I know I'm number six,
But the fact you can't deny-
Is that God, Almighty Giver,
Is the Author of my life.

My soul is no less special,
And my spirit no less great
Than those that came before me
Be they one, or five, or eight.

So many eyes are blinded
By the whispers of this world-
To them, there is no miracle
In a human life unfurled.

A baby's just a plaything,
A burden, or a chore,
And we must proceed with caution
To prevent too many more!

Only a fool would trust in the Lord
To give as He desires
And live a life of trust in Him.
Whatever that requires.

A new car may be exciting;
A new house may be a prize,
But my new life is better
Than any thing money buys.

So all the world may roll their eyes
When six they now see-
But I can't wait until I meet
The fools who welcome me.
-Due in November-

Here is one of my favorite quotes: 

"The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing. But in our culture we
apply for a curse and reject blessings.  Something is wrong with this
picture" ~ Doug Phillips

How wonderful for you! My husband and I wished we would have never had my tubes tied (before Christ). After we got saved we wanted to have more children, but now we can't!

We are blessed with the two we have anyway...that was all God must have planned for us!

I love big families! Congratulations on your pregnancy! May God truly bless it!

Congratulations Lori!!!!! I'm so happy for you and your family. I LOVE the poem! I already know of one person I'll send hee to read it. I just don't understand why people feel so "concerned". What exactly is the "concern"? Hmmm...

Thanks so much for sharing this. ~Karen
