Yes, it is small but it has three bedrooms and plenty of room for us. <br /><br />Several people asked me if the pregnancy was planned. YES! I am in my thirties and married and yes, I know how babies are made. How would I have responded had I not planned on the third? What a rude question. <br /><br />I also had a childless friend who I had not seen in awhile tell me when learning I had three, "Congrats on helping to overpopulate the world."<br /><br />I think if your children will be loved then everyone else can keep their nose out of it!Jessicahttp://www.daftlydomestic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5907971758523873878.post-20630622324853971582014-01-08T11:06:08.822-05:002014-01-08T11:06:08.822-05:00I was one of three and my husband is one of three ...I was one of three and my husband is one of three and it's such a great number. My brothers were my best friends growing up and now that we all have kids, it's turned into something different but just as wonderful. I have to admit that I am one of those people that exclaims, ugh three kids? But that is just because I am so overwhelmed with one! Though now that he is two years old, the second child seems like a natural progression. And honestly I can see how that could be a natural progression after two reach a certain age. It is funny though how people feel the need to constantly defend their choices. I've had so many, almost heated, conversations about how it would be ok if we decided to not have any other children and to raise our son as an only child. People get very upset about that. As long as it works for you and your family, it's a good choice!
