Assalamu Alaikum,
So this is my first blog entry.  I am not sure who is going to read it.  I'm not sure if I really want anyone to.  But I am at a huge crossroad in my life and I love writing and I love computers.  Blogging seems the natural thing to do right now.
I just decided that three is the perfect number for us.  It took a lot of time .... five years ... for me to come to this decision.  I did istikhara, I asked Allah (swt) to help me make the right decision that was best for our family.  History of clubfoot and torticollis and autism and ADHD and sensory processing disorder and intermittent exotropia is what made me make the decision to stop at three 5 years ago when my son was born.  But that had not been my original plan.  I mean I wanted a whole brood.  6 or 7 or 10 kids.  The more the merrier! But when every trip to the pediatrician ended with a new diagnosis I knew this was getting too difficult to handle.
As my children grew, my baby fever grew along with them.  I thought about the plans that I had had.  But this year I have finally come to terms with it, alhumdulillah.  I really feel that this is the best number.  3.  Three is good.  Three is fun.  Three is manageable.
