Coincidentally I am also Mormon. My apologies for seeming like a creeper but I wanted to thank you for this post. I only have one child (a boy who is 10 months) and my postpartum experience has been incredibly difficult. I have struggled with anxiety and depression to the point that I have questioned whether I even want to have more children (something I had always thought I wanted). So thanks, your post has given me hope and a lot of perspective. During the worst of it I might not be able to keep the long term goals in mind but I can gurantee I will look back at these words as a reminder of what I need to look toward. Thanks so much for sharing.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234991238696703628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8425073191016917244.post-73888392653734945172014-06-04T09:50:26.802-04:002014-06-04T09:50:26.802-04:00Wonderful post.

I'm only working on my 3rd but it seems to me that once you decide to have more than one kid you may as well do it up right and have a bunch. The benefits will far outweigh the struggles (right?). I don't know if I'll go for 5, I'm getting too old, but major kudos to you and Brandon. Y'all are great parents. kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03977519857849750493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8425073191016917244.post-41735150740490236912014-06-02T03:34:17.120-04:002014-06-02T03:34:17.120-04:00Well, said, my friend.
