Just to introduce myself

I'm 34 and a mom of 5.
A big family is quite a sight these days.
People sometimes count the kids and stare in amazement, wondering if it's really true.
I think it's amazing; my heart still has room for more little ones. But unfortunately, that wouldn't be wise.
I never expected to become a mother. After two miscarriages and a tough time, no pregnancy occurred. We went through a medical trajectory, but nothing happened. We gave up hope, and at the last treatment, it finally worked. A big miracle (he was certainly big!) was born to us. Unfortunately, everything that could go wrong did go wrong. I still deal with the consequences. Almost 5 years later, number 2 was born early and shouldn't have been. This time, it was a hit right away. I couldn't believe it. Also through treatments, especially the hormones, I found it tough time and again. But I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

That's why I feel so rich and so special that this has been given to us. Because it's not something you take for granted. I'm a mega-proud mom. Curious if there are more big families out there.
