Are there any moms here who are pregnant with their fifth or sixth child?

That's so lovely, such a big family!
Congratulations and wishing you a wonderful pregnancy!

wow, I really respect mothers with large families. I have two little ones myself and find it already very busy and a whole challenge to divide attention. I'd like to have a third child someday, but then it stops. Then our life together begins. My husband and I have said to each other that I won't go for a third until my oldest is 7. My daughters Kyara and Vanessa are now. Kyara is almost five (January 31st) and Vanessa is now 3. I really respect women like you. I won't do it after you, such a large family. I'm already getting stressed out by them. I'm always so happy when they're in bed; only then does my evening begin. Heartfelt congratulations on your pregnancy and lots of luck with your baby. Greetings, Annet.

Hi Rosali, I also have a big family with 5 kids. Congratulations on your pregnancy! We do have a nanny, otherwise I would never have considered having so many children. We have a lovely nanny and the kids are crazy about her. They're even often happier with her than with me. So cute! When I sometimes pick them up from school myself, they're disappointed that Jennifer, our nanny, isn't there to pick them up. They're so fond of her. She makes their breakfast and eats with us, takes them to school, dresses them, puts them in the bath, puts them to bed, and helps the two oldest with their homework. I know what you mean. I also feel very blessed with so many kids. Greetings, Madelijne

Hi Rosalie, lovely girl! So it's definitely relaxing if you already have older kids, so this is a younger sibling? Enjoy your pregnancy and soon your little one, and it's also nice for your older kids to have such a small sister or brother. If I'm being honest, it sometimes gets a bit tricky when I see mothers whose kids are super happy with them and cuddling. I don't really have that with our kids; they see more of the "airy" side of being a mom than me, because I've been taking care of them since day one. Sometimes that's a bit hard, but yeah, it has its advantages too. Greetings, Madelijne.

By the way, I think the photo of your baby is really beautiful and cute. You should be proud of him! I just wanted to let you know. Greetings, Madelijne.

Hi Rosalie, first of all, congratulations on your pregnancy! I can totally imagine how happy you must be feeling right now. It’s not for everyone to have a big family. I have six children—five boys and one girl. I kept going until we had a girl, and now I’m stopping. I feel our little family is complete. When the sixth one was a girl, it was my heart’s desire. I’m so glad you want to share your happiness with us. I wish you lots of luck with your little family. Best wishes, Maike

Hi Rosalie, I totally get what you mean. I felt exactly the same way during my second pregnancy. I thought, "Okay, cool, another little guy to add to the family."

For my oldest son, but then during my third pregnancy, I wanted a girl so badly that when the midwife said it was going to be a boy, I asked her, "Are you really sure?" She laughed and said, "Yes, very clearly a girl. I can't make it anything else." I suddenly felt very disappointed and even sad. I had hoped so much for a daughter, and that feeling only got worse. The hope grew stronger, and I longed more and more for a daughter. But during my fifth pregnancy, I went completely crazy. I thought, apparently I'll just have to accept that I'll never be a mother-daughter pair. You know, mothers and daughters do things together, share with each other, the mother-daughter bond. I have and still have a really good, fun bond with my mom; we're very close together, and I wanted that too. But I was so sad and thought, maybe I don't deserve to have a daughter. It became kind of an obsession for me. Then my husband calmly said, "You need to let go of that strong wish to have a girl, otherwise it'll only get worse for you." So I did that. He said, "We'll have one last child, and if it's a boy, we'll just stop and accept that." And then during the ultrasound, they said it was a boy, and I was so happy! I couldn't believe it. I thanked God countless times. And it's funny that it was the opposite for you guys, oh, how cool, so many daughters. I think that's really cool. I often thought that my husband couldn't make girls. During the pregnancy of my princess, I said, "Dear, you can make at least one girl, ha ha."

Greetings, Maike

typed too fast, I meant a girl was mentioned, a mistake from my phone, it kept attaching the previous word to the end of the young one from my previous sentence, sorry

Sorry Rosalie, some of the words got copied by my phone from my previous sentences. I hope you can still follow along. It's so annoying that my phone sometimes works so poorly.

and I didn't notice it because while I was typing, I was also busy with my little boy. He kept pulling on my sweater, so cute. He wants me to just...

Reading bedtime stories, so I don't really like it right now.

How funny that Madelijne and Maike make exactly the same spelling mistakes!! ^ ^

I myself have three daughters and two sons and are really hoping for a sixth one hihi..
