Do you just not use any birth control and whenever it happens it happens? There's a pretty decent gap between your two youngest right? Better than 15-16 months like some of mine lol

I like 11 too...I doubt I'll ever get there. I nurse for quite awhile and never get af till betwen 15-18 months. I'm 36, so I don't tink I have enough time for 4 more, it'd be nice though. Good luck getting to your 11!

Maybe we can make it 11 and 12 at the same time. I'm getting old now, I'll be 39 this year.

I'm thinking that after 8 or so kids you really don't notice all that much difference in your workload if you have 1 or 2 or 3 more. Is this true?

For myself, it would really take me some getting used to the idea if I were to get pregnant, but you go girl, if it's your wish I hope it happens for you.

I'm kind of in awe of that! I don't really like being pregnant, so I'd go up a wall, but good for you!

11 is a great number. My aunt had 12 and they are all great kids. I wish I could do 11 but I think 8 will be pushing my luck.
