My sister is expecting her 8th. Absolutely no shame in it at all!

I am the middle of seven, and while I wont say it is always the case, I have found my family is far closer than many "smaller" families. Both my DH and my BIL love our familiy because it is that - and theirs was/is not. Large families used to be the norm. Many grandparents talk about being X of 9 and Y of 12. People have just become snobby!

We are doubly blessed, and I wouldn't change it for the world! Anytime anyone ever said something to me, I always tell them "Well, you pick which ones I should have killed". Usually shuts them up.
