I am seriously contemplating making Annika an only child by choice.

I know this sounds horrible but I think it would be less expense having another. We have a college fund for her set up and I can't guarentee I can afford another.

That is not horrible, it is practical.

We are done with 2 as I am too old to make more - but if we were younger we might go for a third. But that would be it I think...

I answered "undecided" as, frankly, it isn't up to us as long as my dh and I are in good health. We intend to receive from the Lord any and all babies He send our way. The Bible is very clear that it is He Who opens the womb and allows/causes conception (not just a man and wife). We figure He knows what size our family should be, better than we do

So far, we have 6 wonderful children and I am pregnant with another... provided all goes well, it may be that He blesses us again in another year. ??

?? I don't think we are crazy BTW, because honestly, these are the Father's children, not just ours, and it is He Who provides for them --- dh and I, we have to be responsible for them and responsible to follow as He leads us and to be wise stewards of all that He gives us, including our time and money. But the Bible tells us that children are a blessing and we have no intention of telling God to quit blessing us as long as *I* can physically handle pregnancy and birth and motherhood.

I'm sure we must sound nuts...

That is awesome and beautifully said.
