+++Spotlight on 5kids4me+++

[crbyard]

Alright 5kids4me, the spotlight is shining on you! Take a bow!

Do you really have 5 kids, or is that title already outdated?

What's it like having such an ample family? I always wonder about logistics like how you make it work in your household with rooms/clothing/furniture/expenses. I can imagine having the love for 5 but wonder about the amazing organizational skills it must require.

How is your energy level with this pregnancy? Are you generally accustomed to the hormonal rollercoaster?

Are you still nursing any of your other children?

Sorry, I am setting you up for a long post -- just answer what you want

slightly OT...

I just want to thank all you Mamas for being so diligent about keeping up the spotlight thread in recent weeks! It's great to see these posts popping up again!

5 kids...

Are you done having kids with this one? What do you think will be different about your 5th birth compared to the others? What's it like being pregnant 5 times?

And if you care to share it, where do you live? What sort of support systems do you employ to help you manage? How old are the kids you have now?

What first brought you to MDC?

Are you online tonight?

I've heard some moms of many say that five is actually EASIER than two. Has that proven true for you? Do you find that your kids are less competitive with each other and more helpful than kids from smaller families?

Have you always wanted a large family or did you grow into it a bit at a time?

Can you tell us a little something about each of your kids as individuals with unique interests, strengths, and challenges? How do their differences become synergistic?
