I used to think my next car would be a 15 passenger. I like the idea of having enough seats for friends and family. However, I REALLY liked those little mini-bus type things that the hotels use to cart people around. They are sooo roomy, with even more seats and don't look all that much bigger than a 15 passenger anyway. I wonder what the gas mileage is? On the other hand, I read that post about having a limo and that has piqued my curiosity enough that I will DEFINITELY look into that. It would be rather ironic to me if that is what we got. My Dad, before I was old enough to drive, always said to look around at the cars I saw and think about what kind I would like to have someday (as a way of dream-building). It didn't take me long to settle on the limos. Then, I just figured that as a big performing star I would be chauffered places. So i jokingly started pointing at every limo I saw saying, "Hey, that's MY car!" Wouldn't it be hysterical if I ended up with one... to cart all of my children around -- a much greater blessing than my original reason for wanting one! he he )
I know, how many tribes can you be in because of the size of your family? Well, I think I am in four or five, maybe, but I forget. Anyways, each tribe is a little different and that makes for different members. I really like each one, too.
Im very "nervous" about telling my family. I told my bestfriend & our 3 boyz, then a cpl hours after we found out my MIL called. She started talking about someone else in the fam having another kid, & are we thinking of having anymore? She was talking to DH & he said "uuhhhhhhh" & she said "Is she pregnant??" & he said again "uuuhhhhhhhhhhhh" So she knows. We told that we were't going to tell everyone until I've been to see a midwife. She said she can keep a secret for 2 mos, after that she's not sure. My MIL is great, so I wasn't afraid to tell her. My mom & dad tho.........OH BOY 
: & my brother. When he found out I was pregnant with # 3 he thought I was joking. Then he was all like "don't you want better for your kids than we had?" 
I just don't want to deal with the cr*p this time. I know they're going to bring up the fact that we should've waited til we bought a house & settled in (which we're house hunting for our first home). & then of course waited til we are a little more financially stable (like that's gonna happen anytime soon). The old saying "Im not getting any younger here" pops into my head.
: & pregnant with # 4!

| Can anyone suggest books about big families. I'm looking for stories, tips, suggestions, etc in book format. Currently we have 2 dd's, but hope to add 1 or 2 ds's by the end of the year via adoption. (Although dd1 thinks we should add a dd, too.) |
