My friend recently found out she was pregnant with number 3.  She has a 4 1/2 yo and a 6 mo old.  She was not planning this, but it happened.  She has been getting alot of grief from her family.  They are saying the things that I'm sure you all have heard before.  How are you going to afford it, they are too close in age, what were you thinking... (yeah, I know you know those questions all too well).  She is having an even harder time with this because her mother passed away a year and a half ago, unexpectedly.  She is still trying to deal with that.  She is scared that she won't be able to handle two babies.  There are so many people in this world who have the wrong out look on kids.  They think of them as burdens.  I pray that I would love my kids and look at them daily as the blessings that they are.  (I also pray that I would never make a rude comment to someone with more kids than me).
