Yes, you are reading this correctly.  I have been nursing or pregnant for at least part of every year (except 2001) since 1993- the year Bryan and I married.  Since Evelyn is our last, my mind is a bit baffled about what comes next.  Personally, I am hoping that it is sleep.

Please, understand that I wouldn't have had it any other way; I love my kids and our large family lifestyle.  I am simply reflecting on a stage of life that is ending for me.

  1. Yes, even though we love our kids, we also do love our own bodies too don't we! Here's to NOT being pregnant this year, for us both!

  2. AMAZING! I absolutely LOVE this post. I can't imagine how confusing and comforting this is, all at the same time. You are an amazing woman! May the Lord bless you and Bryan in this new and exciting journey.
