Hello dear moms and future moms;

We are happily expecting baby number 5. We always wanted a big family, and luckily that’s what we’ve been blessed with. We already have a 7-year-old boy, and three girls aged 5, 3, and 1. I’m curious if there are any other moms with big families and would love to chat with them.

    Hey, it's me again. I just replied on the other forum too. But I agree with you—we're also expecting our 5th. We already have 3 boys and 1 girl, and we're hoping for another beautiful daughter. Sounds lovely to me. I'm 26 years old, and you? Love, bmw x

    Hey sis!

    Thanks.
    Yeah, you still have time for yourself.
    And dividing attention is actually quite easy. Each of my kids gets just as much love and attention from us. Now we have a son with ADHD and that can be quite difficult and heavy sometimes. But as I said, we also make plenty of time for our family. The oldest goes to school, the second one goes to daycare. And when they come home from school, I enjoy it even more. Sitting together at the table, having a drink and a cookie, talking about how the day went, playing a game at the table just the two of us. Really nice and cozy!! Haha. And now that the fifth is on the way, my four of them think it's absolutely wonderful. They're already talking about giving a bottle, my only little girl thinks it's great if a girl comes along. And I do too, by the way. But this is definitely the last one. Haha..

    Hi.

    That's so nice that you're having a 5th kid.

    Indeed, in my opinion, 5 kids isn't that bad. I'm lucky to be able to stay at home while my husband works, so I'm around for the kids. The oldest are at school and the other two are at home. My son also has ADHD, and dealing with that isn't easy. But when he got his ADHD sticker, I went back to school and through home study, I graduated with an HBO degree as an ADHD/ADD coach and behavioral therapist. It wasn't always easy, because besides taking care of the kids, housework, and babysitting my nephew and niece, I studied evenings and nights. But now I have the tools to deal with our son and all the craziness of the other kids. I'm already 31 but still feel very young.

    Hi Denise,
    It's nice to hear you have a big family. We have a girl who's 8 and two boys, 6 and 4 years old.
    We're expecting our 4th baby, due in July 2014.

    Best, Natas

    Hi! It's so nice to see more big families here! We've had five kids since March 20th too! She's our little baby! The youngest was already 8 1/2. It's such a joy after so long to be able to care for a little human again! Last week I discovered that we're expecting another baby! Our little girl is getting some company in the family with big kids! I think it's so amazing! A playmate for her! We now have 4 girls aged 16, 13, 11, and 8 months, and a boy of 9 years! Secretly I'm hoping for a boy this time.. haha. It's nice I can share it here, because I have to keep it secret until January 1st! It's endless! I want to tell everyone I meet!
