I have a 4 year old girl...and she is brilliant of course and too smart for her own good. She has changed me and my perspective on life in so many ways...best thing that ever happened to me.:)

There's only one thing worse than having kids.

Not having kids.

2 - einstein byron, and conan.

I don't have any kids that I know of.....

I've had two, "that I know of" (different mothers)....... my first would be 22 now, but she died at age 17..... my youngest was 9 on Halloween; she's the apple of my eye, and even though I tend to be a bit over-protective, she's doing OK!.... I love her to little bits!!!

:D

This is a fantastic thread!!!! My turn on the soap box????

When your kids are born it is the most unbelievably wonderful miracle in the world !!! And you of course want them to be the smartest, prettiest, most talented, etc. so you start telling everyone they are. Perhaps they'll be all you say they are but if not they are still the most wonderful part of your life --- ever!!!

btw -- I have 2 fantastic daughters: ages 21 and 16 1/2 years old (for a tiny bit of bragging...... both beautiful girls and multi-talented - the oldest is on Dean's list in college with A's & high B's -- youngest is in National Honor Society in High School with straight A's)

I have two girls one 7, the other six,I also have twin boys they are 3,I also have a three month old boy .And that was all I wanted or needed.

Couldn't sleep tonight with so much happening lately, so decided I would pop in for a peak at some threads. This one happens to be a great one.

My precious angel will be 3 on March 1st. He is my miracle baby, I say this because he was born almost 8 weeks premature with 3 holes in his heart. Not to mention that they found out I had an infection that could have killed him if he had contracted it.

My son has a guardian angel....my grandmother. He was born on her birthday just 3 short weeks after we lost her. His birthmark was an angel's kiss (a small red mark between the eyes). On my way to the hospital, she spoke to me and told me that all was going to be ok...I know some will think this crazy, and that's fine, but I believe.

We did not find out about the holes in his heart until after he was released from the hospital and they had us see a pediatric cardiologist because he had a murmur. We have been blessed in that the holes are shrinking and he has not had to have surgery. The doctors are optimistic that he will outgrow them, if not in entirety at least to the point that they aren't a problem.

I'm sorry to go on like this but I guess what I'm trying to say is even the smallest, weakest can turn out to be amazing beyond belief. He has amazed the doctors and changed my life!

We have 4 kids. (20, 16, 15, and 8). All with different personalities and actions. Lots of variences and with the 2 in the middle end up taking a lot of Tylenol and Tums.

Love the kids, but can't wait til they grow up and get married so we can spoil grandkids and give them back to their parents. Intend to buy really annoying toys the need lots of batteries (we will supply) in order to make sure that they work ALL THE TIME.

Truthfully, wouldn't know what to do without them. They each bring something into our lives that let us learn more and experience more than we thought we ever would. Definition of Unconditional Love? Look into the youngest eyes .............. she isn't a teenager yet and hasnt' been spoiled by her peers.......
LOL!

I have two...wait make that four...

My son will be 3 in February
My daughter will be 2 in July
My husband will be 27 in February
My cat will be 3 in June

By far...the most upkeep would be child number 3...hubby

1 on the way its a boy

ohhhhh! keep us posted pierced8!!!!!

I have 2---a 14yr old daughter and a 9+5/6ths son. Both have gave me more smiles than tears and more love than I could have imagined over the years-------just feeling a wee bit scared at the thought of the teenage years !!!!! But my mum says kids are more work when they hit their 30's!!

*bump, just 'cause it's a feel-good thread* :)

Like our illustrious moderator, I have two in my arms, a boy who's six and a girl who's four, and one in my heart.
