Hiya! How are you Sam?
And the whole family? How old is Sophia and Nate by now?

I had a U/S yesterday, I'm 8+5 today with Popcorn. (We lost our little Bean.)
And Popcorn has a strong heartbeat, defined head and body, and moves!
Here's a pic.

Hi Pixie

What a wonderful picture of your U/S - sending good vibes this pregnancy, I hope everything goes smoothly

Sophie and Nate are doing great thanks, in 5 days time they will be 6 months old, can you believe it! wow time has flown, they are chubby and adorable the rest of my tribe are all doing well, they are now on school holidays so in the next couple of weeks I am going to take them to see Shrek and toy story 3.

It's very cold here in Oz

subbing!

june was madly busy with moving and reno's on our new house, but we all all moved and mostly done with the fixing..so i can finally get back to other things. everything is arranged for next september's homeschooling adventures and our gardens are growing well.. im 21 1/2 weeks along with baby #4 and finally feeling like i have the energy to do extra things on top of house & home stuff.. looking forward to hearing how everyone here is doing.

I can't believe it is July already.
I get to pick up my oldest 4 from camp today. It has been fun focusing on the younger 3 for the week.

Well, it looks like we will be adding to our brood in March! We were CTA but it looks like God had other plans! I'm 5w0d today!

Here's what's stressing me out right now. We have ZERO room to fit this babe. I'm hoping that God has a plan for our housing situation since He has decided it's time for this little one to be here. I'm trying not to think about it too much right now because I will start freaking out and then throw lots of stuff away that doesn't need to be thrown away! I'm hoping that we either a) have a new place by the beginning of the year or b) we're able to majorly declutter before March.

I just went to subscribe to the thread and almost accidentally closed it. Sometimes I accidentally use my mod powers for evil.

Annie, congrats! We felt sure we would have to move because we had no room when we found out about the twins, but my mom sent some money and we're (hopefully) converting the attic into a bedroom.

Pixie, I'm so thrilled for you!

We've been doing tons of decluttering. We're not moving, but we're trying to maximize space in our little (1400 square feet 1 bath) house to make it work for 7 people. I am not bearing this pregnancy very gracefully. I'm sick, I hurt, and I'm exhausted.

HIya,
We are doing okay things are getting easier here now that my youngest is almost 1 bt he seems to be buddying up with my 2.5 year old that is very high energy and is my most trouble some of the 4. I call my 2 little boys Brothers Grimm LOL they are vjust trouble together. It has been nice all week so we have been enjoying the weather.

I'm starting to get a little baby fever since my last 3 pregnancy happened right when my youngest turned 1, and now my youngest is turning 1 this month. I really do want to wait a few years to try for another girl though. I have been non stop nursing and preg since 05! Doesn't bhelp that I just went to a baby shower last week.

I took older DS fishing in Lake Erie yesterday We have never fished before but it was still fun even though we caught nothing. We got some books from the library about fishing so maybe we will have more luck next time.

WE have a house about that size with 6 people and we are always decluttering its a non stop battle. We always have goodwill bags to take every week (they know me there) It doesn't help that my MIL bring over so many toiys and junk that we do NOT need. She feels kids need TONS of stuff. I don't blame her though she was 18 with she had my husband and they never had money and lived with help from the state. She did work 2-3 jobs and put herself through school! So she just wants to make up for it now with her Grandkids!

[mclisa]

Just reading along. Trying to keep up with all of you!

I had a pos OPK yesterday so DH and I have been busy together. We had a few moments today to plan our trip to Disney World in September. Now I'm trying to get the kids to be less picky so they'll be ready to try things while traveling. So far...they hate me.

It's been terribly windy here today. Hopefully it settles down tomorrow so we can shoot off some fireworks.

Hi
I hope I can join in.
I just found out that I am pg. with number four.
It was a bit of a shock but a welcome one.
My kids are 9,5 and 2.
We are homeschooling so I am interested to see how that works with more kids.

[chrfath]

I just stumbled upon this thread and realized that now expecting number 4 I would qualify as a mom of many. Never expected we would be seeing a number four coming along. Nice surprise.

Where are you at Ohiomommy1122, we are in Berea. I saw that you went fishing at Lake Erie, but I guess it is a pretty big lake, you could be really far from us.

We too have to do some big moving around here to make room for another family member. We all share one big bedroom with the younger two right now. I don't want to keep doing that though. We have a really old house that was a double, so the rooms are sort of choppy. Makes it hard to figure out bedrooms unless we lose the school room and DH and I start sleeping downstairs.

Looking forward to meeting some of you other mamas.

Thank you! We don't want any more pregnancy drama now.

Oh my, 6 months! They are getting so big. Glad everything is going so well! And yeah, of course it's cold, winter and all. We have summer, or what they call summer here in the North, 25 C and sunny. The worst part is that I'm getting used to it. I have a feeling I'd think Oz summers were way to hot now, and that pains my Aussie heart.

We also have holiday, 2nd week of our 9 week holiday! And we're also going to see the new Shrek and Toy Story.

WE are at the very Western edge of Lake Erie near MI,

[2ID_Wife]

Hi. We are in NY now and have 8 kids (10 with my step ons) and are expecting again in Feb.

[mariaz]

Sp with the space I have found that you can always make room. We are up to 6 kids with our current foster placement and we are making it work well with 1800 sq ft. My kids are all under 6 years old though so 4 of them are sharing a room. I'm sure that when I have some teens it will get a little trickier.

I am constantly decluttering too. It drives my husband nuts but I just can't stand to see toys laying everywhere.
