Here's a hypothetical sitch for you all to comment about.
What do you do when you have nearly half a dozen kids already, suffer from meltdowns almost daily, and gave away all the baby clothes (for both sexes, and maternity clothes) and then get that little "feeling" that there's one more baby waiting for your family?
How do you handle it?
How do you decipher if it's Heavenly Father's prodding or just stupid nuances from a horny husband?
And if it IS from Heavenly Father, how do you tell him, "Ummm, I'm sorry God. I can't do that. I've lost lots of weight and I'm just now getting into skinny clothes. Not to mention that my sanity levels are relatively stable these days and throwing another baby into the mix simply won't help that situation any."? Not to mention the costs involved in rearing another of His blessed Spirit Children.
Having to start all over with baby clothes AND gear. Uh uh. I want living room furniture, not cribs and diapers.
And then there's my ultimate fear of being "tired" when said baby reaches adolescence. I don't want to be too tired to fight the battle that will be waging between the offspring and Satan during those years.
But don't worry. That's all hypothetical and not about me at all. (HELP!)

Um...... whoa. I'm sending you a private email.
WOW girl, that is heavy! Hope you can get the right answers! *hugs*
My husband keeps insisting we need one more. I too got rid of everything baby related to show my husband I'm sure we are done. Then I politely told the Lord if one more is waiting I am going to need a BIG obvious sign.
Sometimes it takes a great deal of faith and trust. I do know that the Lord does not give us more than we can handle. Sometimes it feels like He does but He is always there, providing a way. I hope you get the answer you need.
That's a tough one! Lots of prayers, fasting & a temple trip may be in order! But also remember that sometimes the Lord has a different plan then we do. When I found out I was pregnant with Hannah, I cried for a week and they weren't tears of joy. We were done having kids, the timing wasn't right whatsoever.........but I wouldn't send her back for anything!
