After all they are my much longed for Springtime babies!
Think they may be boys as both DSs kicked me till i was black and blue when carrying them but all DDs were so lazy and chilled (4 DDs/3 pregnancies)

Congrats to you plenty of arnica cream for your black and blue bits! And not being unreasonable at all like mrs said just very lucky how do you manage with such a lovely big family? Im already nervous about having more (which we plan to soon...) and iv only two dc's!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I love reading about big families. I had to stop at 4 (worn out!) but would have had 6 if I had been able/started younger.

What ages and sexes are the first 6?

Angelcat666 · 01/01/2010 13:45

Congratulations

I have to admit to being a bit Really pleased for you though

violethill · 01/01/2010 13:46

YANBU but possibly slighty mad!

Most people would be tearing their hair out!

mum2all · 01/01/2010 20:18

As in title expecting DC 7 & 8 in April.
We already have:
DD1 9yrs (Sept)
DS1 7yrs (also Sep)
DS2 4yrs (Dec)
DD2 3yrs (Nov)
DD3&4 nrly 2 yrs (jan)

Poohbearsmom - we are mega organised with everything, buy loads in bulk and run to a military (ish) timetable as much as we can with so many young ones. Plus both sets of GPs live close by and are a great help. Must admit some days I'm asleep before my head hits the pillow but DH and I both come from larger families so would be weirder for us to just have one or two children. We didn't originally plan on any more after our DDs in 2008 but we are really happy to be having another 2 to add to our family

You have two lots of twins? You must be very patient. I love babies but hate the fuss of pregnancy- aches, pains, worries, sickness, SPD, etc.

YANBU.

Well done you, all the best. What a year 2010 will be for you!

PrivetDancer · 01/01/2010 20:39

Blimey! I can't even imagine having 2

congrats! Yanbu

Congratulations! We've just decided to stop at 4 but i'm quite envious of you. I wish i was younger. YANBU you are very lucky!

maduggar · 01/01/2010 20:57

How far along are you? Your name isnt Duggar is it?

ElfieDee · 01/01/2010 20:59

great stuff xxx

Missus84 · 01/01/2010 21:06

I know someone else who has 8 dc and two sets of twins! I think once you've had one set of twins your chances of having another set are hugely increased.

cazzybabs · 01/01/2010 21:10

i am very jealous...just pregnant with number 4 but this really will be it as dh was happy with 2.I would keep going as I love babies

What kind of car do you drive? I am ore....

verytellytubby · 01/01/2010 21:52

I have 3 including twin son's and that is more than enough for me! The thought fills me with dread.

I think you are amazing!

Meglet · 01/01/2010 21:54

yanbu . I had to stop at 2, but I love large families.

sweetkitty · 01/01/2010 21:54

Congratulations

I am having DC4 in May and that will be it for me.

8 is a fab number

juuule · 01/01/2010 22:03

Yanbu at all.
Sounds like you really enjoy life with all your children.

Here's to an uneventful remainder of your pregnancy for you.
Congratulations.

jellybeans · 01/01/2010 22:06

YANBU I love pg and having kids but after 5 (inc one set of twins) we are totally done. No broodiness at all now! Our house is chaos and no way could we cope with more!! Hats off to those who can though. Many congrats!!

JacksmamaInAPearTree · 01/01/2010 22:06

That's so lovely. Oh, TWO newborn heads to sniff . I cannot imagine having eight. I have only one (unable to have any more) and he is my world, so whenever friends have more babies I am the "useful friend" who comes around and helps (and holds the baby ). CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Spring is a lovely time of year to have babies. I was an April baby. When are you due?
