We currently have an almost 9 yr old girl a Almost 6 yr old Boy a 3 and 1/2 yr old Boy, and a 18 month old Boy. I am over joyed that we are having a babygirl and im due may 7th. Just looking for other moms is a similar situation, someone who understands the daily life of a big family. I feel not only honored but blessed that the lord chose me to be capable of raising such amazing little people.

Im nearly 38 weeks with baby no4 and i love it!! Id love to have 6 children all together ive always wanted a big family..i do also get the funny looks when were out in public and the odd comment of "what number is this" followed by "you must be mad" ive only ever had 4 really rude comments during this pregnancy and 3 of them were from family members..1st comment was "i think yoy should get done now" to which i replied im not a ******* animal and ill have as my as i want and the other two comments were "by your knocking them out arent you" to which i replied..my children are always clean..the best dressed..go on holidays..have days out..get everything they ask for and i still work full time whilst going to university for the career of my choice, so as long as im not a lazy arse and im not claiming money off the government via benefits and my husband and i pay our own way ill have as many kids as i want..:) some people are just so nosey

Im 37 weeks with my 5th. I get a lot of rude comments from strangers but people are very stuck up where I live. Its out of the normal to have more than 2.

Anytime we go to Walmart someone always says "oh my gosh, are these all your kids" we say "Yes, we love it". I completely agree about "the bigger the family the more love that goes around," definitely not the other way around.

I LOVE big families!!! MY mom is one of six and my dad is one of four and it was AMAZING growing up with all my cousins! People don't realize that big families are a gift to your children for generations to come. I have never been lonely with my giant family. Lol I am one of three. I want at least three children (I can't even fathom only having two!) I would love to have more but I have no idea where I would put them much less pay for them. :/ If it's God's will them we will have more.
Congratulations on your large families! They're such a huge blessing!

Awwe thank you! I havent gotten any bad or rude reactions yet and im soo glad, ive gotten some funny comments like we are going to have our own 12 and counting show, but I just laughed it off it was my husbands younger brother. I do get the comments from strangers like oh my gosh you must be busy... Well ya everyone is busy lol.. or I COULDNT do it how do you do it?! Umm well i wake up everyday and take care of what i have to.. lol my husband is my support system, and my mom has suprisingly been a great support too. But theres just things only a mom of a big family would understand you know. How are/did your kids react? Mine are over the moon excited, my daughter cried(with joy) when we told her its a girl shes been asking for a sissy since her first brother. And since I havent had a little princess to dress up and put in all the cute girlie clothes. Im soo happy for your family, its refreshing to hear from someone who loves and is excited about big families as me.

I feel the same way I'm also expecting my 5th child a little boy. I have a 12 yr old boy and 2 yr old boy and 8 and 9 yr old girls. I'm super super excited to be welcoming our 5th any day now.  I love my bug family despite what every one else thinks. I don't care my husband and I love it and that's what matters. Good luck with your new bundle of joy and congrats.
