When I was on the fence about having more children, I sometimes would Google photos of families of the size I was considering. When we were considering having a fourth, I would search “families with four kids” and try to picture our lives looking like the photos I’d find online.

Recently, a woman told me something incredible: Late at night, she was up late doing something similar and searched, “Should I have a fifth child?” She came across an article I wrote for Deseret Magazine several years ago about our decision to have a fifth. She was influenced, and that fifth child arrived several months ago.
