Larger Families Chatter ~ May 2008-May 2009

[Katstribe]

Ok so i have only read whats happened in this post and my brain is completely forgotten everything else!
So thanks Lea and everyone for your congrats on Molly, yes it was a very long wait! She was 14dys overdue according to my dates, and she was a successful VBA2C's
Mind you i was 10dys overdue when my local hospital decided that i couldnt have my baby there as it was TOO RISKY! So they sent us to Brisbane to be induced for the following day but that didnt happen either and they didnt end up inducing me at all i went into spontaneous labour at 14dys o/d. But the birth itself was good and obviously there were no complications and we are both fine. I must do my birth story up on here one day! If i ever find the time. But the MW's at Royal Womens were soo supportive of my decision and kept me strong.

So wow we have all really had a lot happening in our lives really so i guess its no wonder this thread has been quiet!
So Lea you have gotten married and had your little boy (very cute pic) that is awesome, i hope you had a wonderful weeding!

Purplemamma i can't believe you are nearly half way through a PG! Man last i remember little Kane had just had his first lot of surgery! A huge congrats to you and Kanes pic is sooo cute!

Hi to all the newbies that aren't really newbies anymore

Hey Storm how is life going for you lately? Did you get my text when Molly was born? I was so tired i can't rememebr who i heard from afterwards!
Hope all is going well for you...

Kittykat sounds like you are doing well. I know the hols were full on here too! Hope you survived them! I have always loved them but this lot that we just had were too much for me at times with all the kids in the house! I sooooo need a bigger house!

Kimb hi, welcome and congrats on your PG. I think its great to have abig family although its good to have a big house too!

mumofmany we cop the dont you have a TV in your house one all the time! I wish they would come up with something new already!
I had a telemarketer ask me that when i said no to a holiday voucher and i said yes love we actually have 3 TV's and she said ooooh! I said yeah we just like breeding! DH says i should be crude and say no we just like to f##k but i just cant be that blunt!

Hi to everyone else and i soooo hope we can get this thread going again as it used to be an excellent thread, was one of the only ones i used when i first came on!

Katstribe,my hubby say`s what your hubby say`s,we just like to breed and f--K alot as we love each other to death and love our big family,sounds like your hubby would get along with my hubby like a house on fire. Cheers to all !.Happy parenting.

I get alot of crap about having 4 kids too...my SIL has just had her 2nd and my sister is pregnant with her 2nd and my dad made a comment to my hubby that he should "Go and get the snip before its too late!!" Little does he know we are going to be TTC for #5 in a month or so.
The way I look at it is that we chose to have all of our kids...we look after our kids well and we wouldnt have it any other way. Why should it matter?? If I didnt look after them properly then yes/...people do have the right to say OMG but thats not the case so people should just butt out of our business!!

Hey ladies,

Just got back on and having a read of everyone elses posts lol. My df is going for the snip during the next school hols as he doesn't want any more children, he thinks 5 is enough (3 step and 2 bio) and we are planning a trip to England in the next 3 years so we have to be able to afford it arrggghhh.

I was looking at getting a commuter bus for my mob lol but have decided to get the pajero converted to lpg and just leave some of them at home when i do the shopping lol. If the back seats are folded up then i can put the pram in and also the groceries. It will become a problem if we decide to go on holidays and then I will have to buy a trailer to fit our luggage in.

Only 15 weeks and 2 days to go until number 5 is here. The countdown is on

Chat soon

Kim

Hi all i am new to the Forums. my name is Christina and am currently pregnant with Number 5 for us. We are only about 5 weeks along so i have a long while to go. My other children are Sophie age4, Faith 3, Elijah 2, and Lillianne 1. Baby will be due in April.

It is very interesting what some people say about the size of your family, my Husband mother really do not like the fact that we are having sooooo many children and we are not being good parents because the children have to share all their things and their time with us. I actually think the opposite that our children learn to be better adjusted because they have to share their things and they all have each other to love them as well as us.

Actually a friends of ours has a classic response to the question, do you have a tv? he said "no there's too much sex on it". I thought that was classic, maybe one day i will be game enough to us it.

Look forward to learning more about you and your families
Christina

Tell ya something funny....my Dad (God bless him) thought we were having more children cos we couldn't afford the chop for my DH so he offered to book and pay for the op himself! This was when No5 was on the way - now he is resigned to the fact that I am nuts!
Did I tell you girls that my latest babe was 3 weeks early and arrived on our wedding anniversary? Hopefully DH won't forget this birthday!
