I have been lucky and had pretty easy pregnancies and labor/deliveries! All 4 were all natural! I think labor is exciting! Lol. Sure, it's no fun, but it's so exciting! I'd love to adopt one day, dh is finally considering it now too! We will definitely have to wait until we get them a little bigger so we aren't taking on too much at once though!

It's good that you two at least have a plan. I want maybe two or three more kids of my own and after they are off to college and I can no longer adopt, I want to start adopting children until I can't adopt any more. Of course, I'll adopt a child or two at a time and wait till they're off to college before I can adopt another. I just always wanted a huge family. Each one of my grandmothers had 12+ kids. My DH's mother has 5+ kids. I want a bigger family than that lol.

Yes I could see it being very exhausting lol I get exhausted with just my 3 kids. lol Although I am a single mom of 3 kids. lol But between swim class and bowling leagues and girl guides and sparks, school activities and drama clubs lol Yup its exhausting somedays. lol

If i wasnt single I would so be having more. lol

I LOVE big families! Growing up, I only had one brother. We don't even talk now. And dh has 2 brothers and they don't talk. I want my family to be one of those big, super close families that share everything! Lol. And I think it would be awesome to adopt a few later on, if possible! Maybe some older kids that normally don't get adopted as easily!

lol 5 kids im on my number 7 will have 5 boys and 2 girls,22,19,16,7,5,3 and one on the way and everybody says im mad

My husband is working full time and in school full time (graduates in may though! Yay!) and in the national guard, so he is literally gone ALl the time! But he works to support us and I get to stay home with the kids! But I do all the activities alone. Lol. Like today, I have my first appt at 2:30, then have my daughters Christmas play at 5 and my sons basketball game at 6:15. luckily my mom is helping or I wouldn't be able to be everywhere I need to be! Lol.

some people are kinda rude : /

Good luck with your appt today!

Thank you!  

Some people can do it and props if you can but I came from a big family 6 sisters and always thought i could do a big family, with this second baby just a few weeks away; well I know now I am not that type of mommy   I would love more kids but not for me. It is hard I saw my parents struggle but they weren't financially good either. So good luck to you and you seem to know what your doing if you have 5. I have a toddler and do it alone because my husband is away at work the majority of the month, so the baby coming is our last. Your going to be great

after this baby i will have 4 of my own, and hubby has 1.. i dont count that as 5 kids really.. his son doesnt live with us.. so i get a little frustrated when he says we have 5..

Your kids are all really young so i bet it's a lot harder. my kids are 13/13/11 and at one time it was like triplets, but those days are long gone.. so when this baby gets here it's not gonna be overwhelming.. and i even would want one more so this son is not like an only child wehn the others head off to college. Hubby says im crazy bc that's like 5 kids.. but it really doesnt feel that way at all to me.

i think its amazing....i admire anyone who has more than two/three kids!!

I am a dentist and my husband is an accountant and in order to keep our house, save up for their university/education fees, go on holiday....etc we really cant afford more than two kids.

I guess its also a time thing....its not feasible for my husband and me to have careers and a large family. I cant imagine not going into work every day- i wouldnt feel satisfied knowing that I was dependent on my husband financially and i didnt have an outlet from home/family. Although my work is flexible and i do take some afternoons off.

Good luck with your 5 kids.....best wishes!!

I have 6 kids. They are 10,8,6,4,2, and 5 weeks. People are always making rude comments like, "are you done yet?" or "did you get your tubes tied this time?" Oh and "Are you pregnant again yet?" It gets really annoying but I just try to ignore it, its none of their business anyways, although I find it very hard to deal with them all at times, I would have it any other way. I just cant help but get baby fever every time my kids hit a year and arnt babies anymore.   But I definitly know this is the last, I just cant handle anymore, but I still didnt get my tubes tied so who knows!   Teehee
