Once You’re Outnumbered, It Doesn’t Matter By How Many

When Awesome Mom and I we’re in Moscow many years ago, we met a man waiting to leave the country. He was adopting a young girl (around 8 years old). He said he was an accountant, lived in Long Island, and had 5 children already. I thought he was nuts. But he said something that I’ve never forgotten and often quote:

“Once you’re outnumbered, it doesn’t matter by how many.”

Fast forward seven years. We have four boys. Awesome Mom and I are definitely outnumbered. But I found this awesome widget for blogs:

You customize it with the expectant date and the number of babies expected. It then countdowns to the event with little fetus’ floating around and growing larger over time. How cool is that!

I’m a glutton for punishment. So, I’ll have to throw down the gauntlet for Awesome Mom. Let’s shoot for quadruplets … by New Years Day … so we can use the widget (of course). What do you say?
