ok well I will be the first poster lol Although I have not much new info to add, had a body shop demo tonight and got $50 worth of stuff for free so was good, had about 16girls never had thAT big a turn out.

Hope some people find me and join me here lol

[Jesswith6]

Good morning ladies!
Early morning here so I thought I would say hi.
Jack went on his first(and his last he informed me!) camp during the week.He went to Anglesea for 3 days and while he had a lot of fun, he was happier to get home!
Thats all from me atm. See ya

[~Jo~]

Hi ladies

Awww Jess ..poor Jack. Its a shame he didnt like his camp..did he miss you too much? Em has an overnighter at school (sleepover in the library) and shes so excited about it..especially as Darren is going as a parent helper lol.

Michelle thats a huge turn out! Ive never been to one that big. Thats great you got the free stuff! I love body shop stuff. I use the honey shampoo and conditioner..it just smells gorgeous!

Well we got through the holidays lol. Two days before hols started Jess had a fall of the horse and ended up in hospital for the weekend on morphine. She had broken her arm badly but they were trying to treat her for a dislocated shoulder before an xray:eek: So the hols were fairly subdued! No netball,sports and definately no horse riding for a few more weeks.! And now my bubby is about to turn one on Wed..i cant believe it! Its gone so fast yet I feel like ive known him forever! We are having a party for him and then heading up to Perth to go to the zoo as we have been saving going til his birthday. It should be fun.

Jo

Hope all is well in your busy lives.

Hi Nicole, Congratulations on everything working out for you. I was so happy when I read that you were okay. We're all here if you need us. I'll have 7under 10 by the end of next month (hopefully) and I LOVE IT!!!

Our youngest was born Dec 17 and i love having a summer bub..well he's not now he's nearly 4!!

I know I'm looking at it like this - there cant be much of a difference between 6 and 7 - right?????

[mumofbundlezofjoy]

I think once you get past 2 it all seems to meld in together ( but I dunno about 7 LOL)
My gf has announced she is 16 weeks pg with twins, she has a 3 yr old, and a 1 yr old, so by dec she will have 4 kids, 3 and under~~

[hannanat]

So will I . Mine are 9, 7, 5, 4, 3 and 2 with one due in a few weeks.

[penty]

Well I think it is fantastic!! i would have loved to have more babies, but sadly DH didn't want me to have anymore caesar's(I Have had 4) so he had the snip...I really love people having lrge families these days andf the older ones help out and in my house have jobs...so it becomes easier the older they get i think....then comes the teenage years..pmsl...Oh I am not looking foreward to that..here's hoping boys are easier....

Hi girls!
Long time no speak!
I guess I can vouch for the 7 being no more than 6 although, I jumped from five to seven!
It all good fun! If I could go again, I would! I love it!
It's hard work somedays... we just juggled five kids through the week with two in hospital, THAT was interesting! Most of the time though, I just love my house being full and interesting.

[hannanat]

I'm so tired today. I'm thinking about putting the 3 little ones down for a nap (they dont usually have one) and then having one myself. The only problem then is they'll be up all night, but I just dont think I can make it through without one. Theres still a couple of hours until the other ones get home so I should give it a go.

Oh God, I cant wait to have this baby!!

[mum5boys]

Hi ladies,just thought I would introduce myself to you all.
My name is Michelle,I am married with 5 beautiful boys,11,5,4,2.5 and 13.5months old and I am expecting number 6 in March.
It is great to be able to read about other large families, it doesn't make me feel like I am as crazy as some people might think I am.

Does any one get funny looks when they are shopping with their children?

I look forward to getting to know you all and hearing about your wonderful families.

[tiggy]

Hi Michelle,
Don't talk to me about funny looks! I get them and rude comments all the time!
Needless to say, I take the family shopping very rarely now.
CONGRATS on number six!

Natalie,
Hope you have a nice nap, sweets, you deserve it.
Baby will be here soon, do you know what flavour you are having?
When I was pg with William, I asked the girls what they thought I was having. Imogen said a boy, Madeline said a girl and Lily said a puppy...

[hannanat]

Imogen said a boy, Madeline said a girl and Lily said a puppy...

Oh that was a good one Tiff. Yes it looks like its a boy. So I'll be 5 boys and 2 girls.

Welcome Michelle. You'll find lots of support in here. Theres quite a few of us with big families. Its fantastic

[penty]

Won't be long now Nat!! Mys siter is due with no 3 on 4th sept, so i will be an aunt again to a pink one!! get some rest,I am sure you already know you'll need it..
Welcome michelle!!Good to see another big family..there should be more i reckon!!

Hi Guys! Thought I'd introduce myself too!
I have 4 kids & 1 on the way.
There's Dylan who'll be 14 on Sunday Amy, she's 11 & Kaitlyn who's 9 & Zac he's just turned 1. I feel like I have 2 different "groups" of kids, the big ones & the little 1(for now) but it is great, the big guys are so helpful (at times)
My Dh would like to have more, but I'm not so sure, I love kids, but this ole body's kinda had enough IYKWIM I'm only 18 weeks along & my back is killing me already!!
Hope to get to know you all!!
