Sometimes I think about wanting 4, 5 or even 6 kids and then it dawns on me how much worse a night of barfing would be if all those kids got it at the same time as you and your husband, instead of just the one baby. Cousin Britt, I feel ya, how do you do it?!

That's never happened to me, thank goodness. The thing with kids is, once you get passed 3, it's really not any harder. The older ones start helping with the little ones with the more you have. (twins the ecxeption) You guys should definitly have more. Yours are really cute!
I used to say there's 1 and then there's more than 1. But then I had #4 and totally lost it! It is hard for some, but apparently I wasn't crazy enough and had #5...I still don't know what I was thinking. They are lots of fun, but I have been in that situation where when I had 3 and Theo was deployed to Hawaii and we all got this nasty stomach bug. Everyone was puking all over the place, on the couch, on the carpet, all over the bathroom. I was up until 3am with the steam cleaner cleaning the spots on the carpet, all the while taking breaks to go throw up myself. Fun times! I think where I messed up is that I didn't have them spread out as much. I had 5 kids all under the age of 8, so they aren't much help. But if you have more making them a little more spread out is really helpful. I just wanted to get done at an early age so I can kick them out of the house while I am still young! LOL!
