"She is the comfort in the chaos"

As a lover of large families, I enjoy reading positive articles about having more kids. It's hard to explain why I want more kids than most, but this blogger was able to express why having more is a good thing. It seems counter intuitive that adding a baby in the midst of the difficult art of raising a toddler brings more peace than stress. This paragraph is the perfect summation of my feelings:
