Larger families!! Shall we have a roll call?

[iclaudius]

Who fancies checking in with names and more importantly NUMBERS!!!

[iclaudius]

Purple I've recently reined in on behaviour as things were so loud!! It's hard!

[Fresh01]

4 here! 3 DD's aged 7, 5 and 1 then DS aged 3.

Know 3 people expecting no 5 and one expecting no 6 but we are done!

[stuffthenonsense]

Baby 6 on its way. So far 4 dds and 1 ds ranging from 18 yrs to 12 months

[FuelledByChocolate]

Only 4 so far for me, all boys my youngest is 8 weeks.

[Four4me]

Only Four for me!
DS - 9, DS - 8, DD - 3, DS - 2

I would have loved more, but dh he say no!!!!

[Plumsieinaonesie]

4 here.
DD 9, Dd 7, Ds 2.5 and Dd 7 months.

Thought we were done after no 3 but then no 4 decided to appear.

Hectic at times, but so enjoyable, would love more!!!!

[missmorter]

4 boys here aged 11 months to 9.

I really wish I knew some if you in RL. I'm an oddity round here. Having all boys makes me stand out even more.

[cazboldy]

I have 3 boys and 2 girls

and am pg with number 6

Currently range from 16 - 6 next week.

[cazboldy]

is that 3 of us pg with number 6?

[5eggstremelychocaletymadeggs]

There are a few of us with four boys!

Does anyone want to do a statistic post ie how many families with all boys/girls etc.

[iclaudius]

yes the boy thing does seem to be an oddity here too although i know the odd one with four!

[5eggstremelychocaletymadeggs]

I know one other mum with four boys :)

[imip]

4 dc here also. 6, 4, 3 and 14 months. All girls. My first beautiful baby was born sleeping. So, sadly, five dds here. My eldest is 11 months older than dd1. It pains me not to count my first daughter as dd1 iyswim.

I am very much an oddity also, always get comments on all girls.

I would love more but fear I could not manage another pregnancy and I only just cope with the four I have got!

[CheerfulYank]

I'm jealous! :)

I've got DS and a DD on the way. I'd dearly love 5. I'm almost 31 so don't know if I've got time, but DH sand and I were hoping to adopt as well anyway.

[Ummofumbridge]

Only 5 for me although I'm so broody for a sixth (DH says a big NO).
1 Ds and 4 dds ages 2-16!
The boy came first :)

[Diege]

Hi happy, yes, I remember you from the thread - wow, congrats on your 4
caz yes I think there are 3 of us on here alone who are expecting number 6 - me and stuff are on the Nov antenatal thread although I am technically October too after scan brought me forward (oct 24th).
I had 3 dds first then 2ds's. I people were surprised I had another after ds1 as they (wrongly) assumed I was only keeping on going to get a boy . Goodness knows what the comments will be like this time...

[Diege]

On and cheerfulyeank you have lots of time . I had dd1 at 31 and will (fingers crossed) be having number 6 at 43

[Ruprekt]

Wow! Some of these numbers make my eyes water!!

How do you all cope and how do you afford it?

[Tortoise]

I have 4.
Two boys age 16 and 13.
Two girls 8 and 9.
I'd love to have more but doesn't look likely .

[Diege]

Hi ruprekt I think everyone copes in different ways, depending on their situation/family or work set-up. Personally dh and I are both fortunate enough to be in very good jobs, so financially we cope. Emotionally it can be harder at times (esp when we get in at 6pm to the breakfast things still on the table!) but overall the good outweighs the bad...just about

[cazboldy]

Diege I am due on 7th Oct, so not so far away from you and stuff

[mumblemumhome4lunch]

only four, wishing DH though our finaces could stretch to more

DS 8 next week, DD 6, DS 4 yesterday and DS 20months.

DD begging us to have another as she misses having a little baby about, can't blame her as so do I, but she is worried she'd end up with another brother and that 'wouldn't be fair'

[ThePortlyPinUp]

I have 4 dd's 11,7,5,4, coincidently each of my bil's and sil's have 4dc's. my sil has 4 ds's so we balanced out nicely. No more for us, I said I'd stop at 30 but was actually finished at 26.

[ThePortlyPinUp]

Whoops dd2 is 8, her birthday was Friday That's why I'm not allowed anymore

[annelid]

Right, have attempted a list for you, sorry if I've missed anyone!

1. Started with all the people with 4 children, then 5 etc
   
2. Then within that list DD's first, then DS's, so someone with 1 DD will come before those with 2 or 3 DD's...hope thats okay
