<p>I know Mrs. Duggar seems really happy, but if her uterus could talk, I wonder what it would be saying.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Or that was the intention all along- go in, get some dirt, write a book and get free publicity (these guys would know how it works!).</p>
<p>Wanna bet his firm created the contract that she signed and it has little in the way of confidentiality clauses? I suspect that is the case because no real professional would publicly slam their client like this, no matter how valid. They could have made 100 excuses to bow out without having to call her a nut. It may be legal according to their paperwork, but it sure lacks professionalism.</p>
<p>“My perspective on children is I only intend to have one”</p>
<p>Nothing changes your perspective as much as actually having a child. It changes your perspective about everything.</p>
<p>Yeah, staying up till 4AM comforting a crying, pooping, screaming baby, after working 8AM to 11PM and having commuted 40 minutes each way, trying to get the damn baby to sleep will make me wish I NEVER had even that one.</p>
<p>I hope that when you DO have a baby that you have some support and it isn’t solely your responsibilty to bring home the bacon and take care of every need of the baby, round the clock…and all of the negatives you describe are temporary and not nearly as bad as you think. Most mothers only have vague memories of the sleepless, poop filled times</p>
<p>mimk6–so true…NOTHING changes your perspective like having a baby!</p>
<p>"WHITTIER, Calif. - The mother of recently born octuplets may be moving to a new home and getting help to raise her brood.</p>
<p>Nadya Suleman’s father, Ed Doud, is purchasing a $564,900 house in the city of La Habra in a deal is expected to close Friday, said Prudential Realty listing agent Mike Patel.</p>
<p>In a related development, television talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw said Monday that Suleman will accept a volunteer group’s offer of nursing care for her children…</p>
<p>The 2,583-square-foot house in La Habra, about 20 miles east of Los Angeles, has four bedrooms, three baths and a large, fenced-in backyard. The master bedroom features a walk-in closet…"

<p>Yes, there are definitely days that feel as bad as that, but I think most of us are glad we had the damn baby anyway. </p>
<p>Not everyone is up to the challenge, futurenyustudent.</p>
<p>And many of us, having gone through sleepless nights and poopy diapers, do it at least a second time!</p>
<p>I LOVED every crying, screaming and pooping moment! I wish I could have done it several more times, but I did it alone the first time, and I KNEW that despite my maternal wishes it was not feasable. I may not be well educated, but I am rational.</p>
<p>futurenyustudent - You sound like wonderful parent material – thoughtful, caring, responsible. (I can’t add “knowledgeable” because no one really knows what parenthood is about until they have some actual experience!)</p>
<p>“Yeah, staying up till 4AM comforting a crying, pooping, screaming baby, after working 8AM to 11PM and having commuted 40 minutes each way, trying to get the damn baby to sleep will make me wish I NEVER had even that one.”</p>
<p>Maybe, or maybe you will look at that baby with your tired, bleary eyes, and see unconditional love in hers, or like mine, while trying to comfort her by patting her in a steady rhythm on her back, realize that she’s finally quiet and patting you in unison on your back. That is absolute heaven.</p>
<p>Having kids can be absolutely exhausting. I have two daughters and I despair at times that there is never a time when both of them are happy and carefree. Something always seems to be going on, some trauma, some heartache, etc. It’s NEVER smooth sailing. But I love them with all my heart. I can’t regret either of them - “damn baby”- no, never.</p>
<p>VeryHappy asked…“I know Mrs. Duggar seems really happy, but if her uterus could talk, I wonder what it would be saying.”</p>
<p>LET ME OUT!</p>
<p>^^^^^ I think the uterus would simply say “Lady, ever hear of birth control?!”</p>
<p>I was thinking, “Enough, already!!”</p>
<p>Any uterus that has experienced 18 deliveries is on borrowed time. Problem is, a uterine rupture, a flaccid paralytic uterus after delivery with acute hemorrhage, a placenta accreta, all are life threatening events. And the risks start to increase dramatically after so many pregnancies. We could end up with “18 and counting” as a single parent family. And that would be a tragedy. At least she has not been a proponent of home birth.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>LOL, I wonder what Nadya’s would say. I guess we won’t know until it gets its own publicist. Right now, it’s probably still unconscious.</p>
<p>Wow, suunyflorida…I hope that she has heard this form her ob-gyn and doesn’t have any more babies. It would be tragic to leave all those children without their mother.
Even though the Duggars have so many children, they are well cared for and it seems to work for them.</p>
<p>LOL Blankmind. After reading about the uterus’ publicist, my bladder (and probably Nadya’s) was saying “Stop laughing, I’ve got to pee!”</p>
<p>Nadya will be on Dr. Phil today and tomorrow. Below is from his website:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I have only watched Dr. Phil twice before, when he showed video of him talking with Nadya. I’m going to watch today and tomorrow, too. The article that is quoted in Northstarmom’s post says that the new house has only 4 bedrooms. I say that is nowhere near big enough for a family of 15, not to mention if any other adults sleep there. If the grandfather is buying it, won’t he want to live there? Where will grandma live? I hope she gets to live by herself with time to recover from her enormous efforts.</p>
