Karen, Hmm sorry to hear about the lackanookie. Not to worry about the baby "tick" (as MrsGGB called them at that stage), this too will soon pass and you will miss it when it does.
Even in the american Catholic churches, families with more than 3 seem to be on the decline. I can't tell you the number of comments we get in our own parish regarding the number of kids and/or the age spread. Shoot, we've even gotten it from my own parents at times.
