Okay, so let's talk for a minute about being pregnant. With the newest annoucement of Michelle Duggar expecting baby number 20, it has really got my blogging brain going on some thoughts. So first, I have three kids. When I was in the operating room getting ready to meet baby number three, one of the doctors asked me, "so are you trying to be like the Duggars here??" Um...3.........19.....yes I can see where you would have thought that.
When I was pregnant I was asked several, (for a lack of a better word to use here) stupid questions. Here are just a few. By the way, if you refrain from asking these questions or saying these statements to a pregnant woman, you will have a better chance on seeing tomorrow.....just saying.....
1. Don't you know what causes that????? Now I like to answer this one with, "yes and we are getting pretty good at it don't you think!!!"
2. Was it a mistake? My answer for this is, "no, but that question you just asked was!!"
3. Are you trying to be like the Duggars? answer, "well my husbands name is Jim Bob so maybe"
4. Are you sure there is just one in there??? answer "do you want the number for my ultra sound technician so that you all can talk it out amongst yourselves?"
5. Your not going to make it!!!...........answer...."well then you had better go get some water to boil"
6. How do you do it???....answer....."I didn't know I had a choice"
7. Are you going to have anymore??? This one is usually asked as you are still in the hospital bed recovering......my answer....."would you like to be put on the committee to vote on this decision??"
8..Holy Cow your huge!!!..........um......thank you so are you, only I am going to give birth to what's in my stomach and I don't know what you are going to do about yours....(this statement is, in my experience, usually said by men)
So lets talk about the Duggars for a minute. I look at all if the above things that have been asked to me or said to me at one time or another and for most of them I can honestly say, it is only my business. It is only my business, how big I get, how many kids I have, when I will go into labor, and how I am going to make it and whether or not this pregnancy was or wasn't planned. As for the "don't you know what causes that?" question all I have to say is REALLY????? Truth is God already knows how many kids I am going to have, He already knows my limit. He also knows that I probably cannot handle 20 kids, but as I look at the Duggars in amazement of their values, the number of children, the good behavior of all of them, the stability of their marriage and their faith in God. I have only one thing to say. The world is full of bullies. Kids that have no respect, for themselves or anyone around them. I say if God has chosen this family to bring and release into the world, 20 or more, good, respectable, God fearing, helpful, full of heart, love, and kindness, polite, quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to become angry EXAMPLES for us to learn from. Then who are we to argue with that. Don't criticize how many kids they have. That is their business not yours. And here is the big finale are you ready.......They are doing a much better job at raising their 20 then most of us are doing raising our one. So don't judge, instead observe them and see how we can change our ways our children and our marriges, the future of America is in trouble and only we can change that! Raise the future with this in mind.....one day your life will be in the hands of the future you raised...........
