Well it is Monday again so I will tell you something else
about my darling Tim…………….
When we were dating, yes engaged but not married we
discussed having children I wanted to have 5 children he wanted to have 2
children so we split the difference and had 3 children.
We both wanted to have daughters but Tim always thought his
last child would be a boy, so when I was pregnant with Jessica he was thought
she would be a boy but at the same time knew she would be a girl. I remember he
thought it was odd that he so sure his last child would be a boy but at the
same time knew Jessica as going to be another girl. I would joke with him that
maybe we would have another child but he said no this is going to be the last
one and if it’s a girl then so be it.
After she was born he decided to have a vasectomy much to my
annoyance I didn’t want him to have it done so soon after she was born she was
only 6 weeks old when he had it done……
Do I regret only having 3 children all the time for many
years I was disappointed that we couldn’t have any more children although now I
am happy with my family as we now have grandchildren. Sometimes we have to compromise
that is part of being married we can’t have everything our way……….
This made me smile, Jo-Anne. Marriage is about compromise and usually it works out for the best. I was glad I had my tubes tied after two children, because every now and then my maternal urge would kick in and I'd think how fun it would have been to have a baby... for about a day - then I'd come to my senses! :-) My younger sister decided to have her tubes tied when her son was a few months old. She made the appointment, then found out she was pregnant! The two brothers have grown up close and it worked out great. God knows the best plans!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how peoples minds work in that they just make up their mind that something is the way it is, and until proven otherwise they will believe it with everything in them.
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
ReplyDeleteOh, this post is something that I don't have any connection with, haha.
My late other had had the same thing with your friends after having 2 children. She said she wanted more, but our parents couldn't seem to afford more family. Oh, it must be hard to decide how many you want...
Myself, as you may know; giving up a child after 5years costly fertility treatment was the kind of saddest memory of my life. Women naturally wish babies♡♡♡ I must have been so bored without teaching job p;)
God bless to all of your family, xoxo Miyako*
I love these little posts, when you tell us little snippets about yourself and Tim. As you say, now that you have your grandchildren, your family is probably now big enough!
ReplyDeleteGod always has a plan and sometimes we are not aware of the plan .... God is the giver of life ...I know many that decided to NOT have more babies....but DID....spite their efforts to stop the conception....so be content as Paul and rejoice in the three you have and oh relish those grands....I wanted three but have two ....and now I'm a Nana....loving it ...have a wonderful Monday
ReplyDeletei love these post and learning about you and Tim
ReplyDeleteJosie.......It took a while for me to get use to only having 3 daughters but I am so happy with my girls and love my grandchildren so much I do hope my girls have more children but if that doesn't happen I will be happy with what I have as they are beautiful healthy children.
ReplyDeleteJOutlaw.....Oh yes so true sometimes seeing is believing
Miyako.......It must be hard to accept that you will not be having children I do not know how I would have felt if I had not been able to have my girls, I am so blessed to have my girls and I know it.....
Diane.......I would love it if my girls had more children but if not then it is all good, I love my grandchildren and know that I am blessed to have such a wonderful family.
