My dh and I that is. Ugh, I hate to ask for prayers on this but I'm really struggling. I am longing for another child. Badly. Dh is not, though he never has actively longed for another child, but very happily welcomed them all. I am perfectly willing to wait for Our Lord's good time on this, and prayerfully discern when the moment is right. My problem right now is dh is as far away from God (and Church) as he can be. So he is not exactly in a place to prayerfully discern anything, much less if God is calling us to welcome another child. Yesterday I had to say something particularly painful and difficult about all this to him, thanks be to God, it was a grace-filled moment and we're okay. In the meantime I feel like my heart is breaking every month  and I know God does not want me to burden dh with all my emotions about all this. And I feel so irrational! God has blessed so very much.
Well, enough said. Please pray for us.

Maria, it's such a private thing, and I am sure it was hard for you to post about it. Please know I am praying for you ...

Maria, for me the desire for another child can make me crazy, I'll pray for you. It is a very difficult burden to carry.
