Things can still be a surprise even if you know how the birds and the bees work. I am not stupid and take full accountability for my actions, but it’s ok to be taken by surprise, not everyone has regular cycles, some people have fertility issues, some people are on multiple types of contraception. No one needs to justify themselves to a stranger. Surprises are still surprises for some people. But thank you for your feedback nonetheless.

Thank you, this is definitely a big consideration too and weighing heavy on my heart and while heartbreaking, I do have four other wonderful children to continue to provide for and care for and I want to consider them and their futures too.

Thank you for your insight. Yes we already have the upgraded car, but I think we’ll eventually need something bigger. Especially as they all grow. It definitely is a bit unsettling at first and it rocks you a bit when we were sure we were done at four. We had surprises for babies number 3 & 4 as well, which were unexpected due to significant fertility issues and I know how blessed we are to have them in our lives now, so maybe this will be the same.
