Soon to have 9 kids, ask me anything if you want :)
Okay, so I've seen those posts a couple of times so I'm sure no one will actually bother to open this since I'm no Michelle Duggar but I have some free time and thought it would be fun :D.
Mother to James (12), Tori (10), Lane (8), Matthew (7), Allie (5), Grace (3), Rosanna (3) and Teyla (1).
Wife to Jeremiah (32).
Soon to be a Momma to Bryson (Due July 1st)!
It doesn't seem so big with the kids running around it, since we moved in not long ago we haven't unpacked some boxes that weren't needed yet so it seems far too cluttered right now.
Quoting carmenclrk:That is wonderful! Sorta like a mansion or maybe mini mansion! I bet the kids love it!! Congrats on the new one coming!!

Quoting carmenclrk:Do you have a nice size house for everyone?
Yes, I believe so at least. We just moved into a house with 9 bedrooms and a room off the kitchen which we are converting into a bedroom for my grandmother to move into.
are they all yours biologically with the exception of the one you adopted?
what does your husband do for a living that makes all this possible?
you sound happy.

That would drive me nuts. I generally hate kids.
How do you stay sane? Or do you? :POh, I've not been sane in years... I just hum a lot to hide the screaming in my head ;).
That's what I keep forgetting to do...the humming! I have six and yes they drive me crzy sometimes too...and I only have three at home now...lol!
I think it's wonderful that you are doing that for your niece,sister and soon your grandmother. Congradulations on your new little one!
We had one on Valentines day since it was my birthday on the 12th as well so we combined it. About once every 2 months normally though. I have a truly wonderful network of family and friends who are always trying to look after my kids for the day so we let them occasionally :P.

Do you ever have a 'date night' with only you and dh?

Quoting proudmommy92:
How old are they all!?
Is the one of the way boy or girl?
Did you always want a big family?
What are their names?
Are they all your bio kids?
James (12), Tori (10), Lane (8), Matthew (7), Allie (5), Grace (3),Rosanna (3) and Teyla (1)
Our one on the way is a boy. We are very outnumbered by girls at the moment so my husband is very excited.
I didn't always want a big family, I was not raised religiously but became religious during my early teenage years then when I met my DH we both agreed this was right providing financially we were sound.
Rosanna is my sister's child who we have adopted. My sister lives in an assisted housing situation due to mental health issues so it was our pleasure to offer her parents as well as my sister a way to be with her biological daughter when she can.
