We often get asked the question...

"How many kids will you have?"

Well, all of them. But more specifically....

That's a good question you've got yourself there. The answer: it depends on who wins.

Hunter has flip flopped between two and three with an occasional four in there. Once he suggested we might as well go for five if we are going to have four because what is one more at that point? I agree with that. But then I think his heart stopped and only his words taking it back started it up again. For a long time after that he talked about only one...too bad I already had number two in the oven, Bucko. Once his heart rate was kept at an acceptable pace for an extended period of time, he again went back and forth between two and three.

I am just slightly off from Hunter's desires in that I originally wanted ten. Since then, I've turned the corner from the '19 Kids and Counting' scenario and moved it down to six and now four. Four is where I seem to be staying at. It just feels right. But here's the deal. Twins and triplets run in my family. Yes: 'and triplets'. And that would be at least two sets of each. So while I pray to God to never give me triplets for fear of my sanity, I do think twins would be fun. Although, when I pray for big things like that, I think God laughs and says, "You can handle it, ya pansy" and then He makes it happen. Ok, maybe He isn't calling me a pansy. But He is at least thinking it. Meanwhile, I'm thinking that you can call me whatever you want. And I may even be a pansy. Just don't give me triplets after I already have two.

My ultimate scenario, should I be able to handle it without going completely crazy, would be twins on the next go around where at least one is a girl. And since I have total control over this, it makes since to make these plans, right? The things my brain spends time doing....
