Devoted Daddy and I are not really part of the Quiver Full (at least not in the true context of the word)... what we are:
A mixed Christian faith household... Manic Mama is a Catholic Christian, Devoted Daddy is a Protestant Christian.
What we believe... Children are a gift from God, our arms (and hearts) are open to any and all children sent to us (we are pursuing foster parenting at this time).
Our family includes FIVE children related to at least one of us biologically (we are a combined household).
We desire more children.
As a Catholic Christian, Manic Mama believes in large families and Natural Family Planning (when spacing is needed). Devoted Daddy is in agreement, although has many moments of feeling overwhelmed by the demands of a large family.
Manic Mama believes that Natural Family Planning/Fertility Awareness EMPOWERS all women, strengthens marriages, and changes the mindset about families.
With a family of seven, our quiver is only half full... we have lots of room in our hearts, arms, & homes for the blessing of more children. BUT, we currently find ourselves battling infertility -- now called secondary since we both were part of primary infertility, but technically we are experiencing primary infertility since the two of us together have not procreated. :)
This is a place to journal our many struggles with parenting, infertility, and welcoming children into our lives however they arrive.
Psalm 127:3-5
Children are a heritage from the LORD,
offspring a reward from him.
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are children born in one’s youth.
Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
when they contend with their opponents in court.
