- “I’m sure they’ll pop out one more blessing. Whitney’s only 32.”
- “Supposedly, she was telling people after baby #5 that she was done. But that obviously didn’t last long!”
- “Yeah , for engagement only but not really , it is preparing for at least 3 miracle babies , until finally a real medical urgency and dad panicking that he might really have to parent the children alone for it to stop.”
- “Jaydon was also the last, and so was Lilly.”
- “I’ll believe it when I see it. I can see Erin or Alyssa being done since they have high risk pregnancies but even then that’s a stretch.”
