My babies

I was married at the age of 21 to my husband Lenen. We wanted to start a family young and so at 8 months into our marriage, I was pregnant. At my US, I saw the heartbeat of my baby and I was instantly in love. On September 27, Lenen and I were proud parents to Emmet Lenen, our baby boy.

We still wanted kids and since we enjoyed Emmet so much Lenen wanted to try again. I told him that since I was going to be holding the baby it should be my choice. Despite my requests, I was pregnant. I knew something was up in my pregnancy since at 11 weeks I looked like I was 6 months pregnant. My doctor told me that I was pregnant but this time with twins. We were surprised because twins don't run in our family but now they do. When Emmet had just turned 2, he added a set of siblings to his list. They were born early on October 3. We named them Lidia Emmlia and Lynn Kale.

Lenen STILL wanted kids and I agreed but not until the twins were older. Our plan lasted until they were 1 and a half and Emmet was 3 and a half. I didn't really mind that I was pregnant and I loved all of my children. Even when I was younger I knew I wanted a big family. Well I sure got a big family because yet again, I was pregnant with twins. I went into labor on my mom's birthday and my new son and daughter were born the next day. I was an only child so my mom loved having all the children around the house. In honor of that, we named our newborns Marissa Shilee and Martin Christian. So now we celebrate their birthdays either on January 16 or January 17 together.

My family couldn't be better with, Emmet 6, Lidia and Lynn 4 and Marissa and Martin 2. I still wanted kids and I got my wish. My body then got one baby. I had a boy named Justin Luke on December 15. Marissa and Martin couldn't get enough of him. They loved their little brother. With 6 kids with only 3 on school, it was hard to keep up with.

Lenen and I knew enough was enough but Marissa and Martin had just had their 4th birthday when I was pregnant again with twins. We looked back on our family trees and discovered that Lenen's uncle's cousin had a twins. So it did run in the family and it was now showing up. We found out that they would be girls. I was induced on October 23 and we now had our babies Sarah Marie and Shaleigh Kathryn to look out for.

We knew we were done but my body decided to have another. My last child Hannah Jackie was born on June 12.

So I had 9 children and I was a mother to every single one. They're the love of my life and so was Lenen. We ended up having a divorce when he wan't more kids and I told him no. So now with his new wife Kathy he has a total of 12 children and then is expecting two more.

I was remarried to Mark and we had 2 children. Marrine Hailey and 2 years later Scott Finn. I also had a stepdaughter named Rebacca. So I have a total of 12 children, 9 with Lenen, 3 with Mark and Mark has agreed with me that we're done.

So many, maybe too many

It was my first pregnancy with my husband Roger and we were delighted. When we went for my US, I found out I was going to have twins! What a surprise. Later we found out they would be girls. My girls were due in early July but were born in June of 2007. We named them Rylee Jane and Ryan Sarah.

A year later I found out I was pregnant again, this time with triplets. Roger and I were very excited since we already loved our little girls. My doctor told us that we would be parents of two boys and a girl on March of 2009. We couldn't wait! I had a c-section at the end of February and produced three lovely babies: Kylie Joy, Roger Alexander, and Kyle Lee. We knew we would be busy.

Roger and I decided that we wouldn't have any more kids until the triplets were at least 2. However in December of that year, I was once again pregnant. This felt like twins but I could never tell. The doctor confirmed this and told me my due date was September 2010. I found out that they would be twin girls and we had lots of fun picking out names. They were born on August 10th and we were then parents to Caitlynn Amanda and Claire Grace.

After all my pregnancies, I kept trying to get my body past its pregnancy body and Roger and I heard that trying to have sex helps. We decided to have sex and turned out to get me pregnant. I was still nursing my girls so I hoped it would be only one baby. However, my body had different plans. My doc. told me I was pregnant with 4! I couldn't believe it. I even considered putting them up for adoption but I knew I couldn't do it. This time Roger and I didn't find out the sex. We wanted to be surprised. I was induced on July of 2011. Our fabulous babies are Savannah Kate, Sheila Megan, Scott Hayden, and Sandy Olivia. 3 girls and a boy! It was a wonderful surprise.

This time my husband and I knew how much trouble it was and knew not to try. But I'm now pregnant with a (confirmed) one baby. We don't know the sex. If it's a girl the name will be Madison Jenna. For a boy, the name will be Luke Christopher.

So many in so little time

I got married when i was 18. My family didnt really apporve of it because i was so young and my boyfriend was 24. But i was 18 and i was in love. My husband, Taylor wanted to start a family young, but at the time i was just trying to convince him that me going to college first was a better option. However, i became pregnant before being married for 6 months.

Taylor had already gotten to go to college and he had a stable job. We lived in a 4 bedroom house so i knew we ccould afford a child, but i serously considered getting an abortion without telling him, because college had always been a plan of mine. But after i went to a doctor appointment and saw my baby's heartbeat i knew that i couldnt. So when i was 6 weeks pregnant, i told Taylor and he was thrilled. I learned to love the idea of having a child around the house, but i also made Taylor promise to help me through college and he agreed. So i was about 12 weeks pregnant i started college classes. A few weeks later i was told that we were going to have a girl. On July 17th i gave birth to my first child Aubrey Joy. She was a beautifull baby and is now a beautiful child. When she was 3 months old, and i was 19 by now, i was told that i was pregnant againa and i couldnt believe it! Taylor and i had only had sex once since Aubrey was born because i wanted to get my body from post baby.

I learned to get happy about this pregnancy too because i tloved being a mommy and now i was going to have a second daughter to love too. I put off college telling myself i would go back when they were old enough to go to school. On may 1st i gave birth to our second child Rylee Elle. Aubrey was just 10 months old because i had given birth at 35 weeks into my pregnancy and i felt bad at times because i somtimes felt as if i was missing out on seeing Aubrey grow up because i had to focuse on Rylee.

Taylor was 26 when Rylee was born and I was 20. Having two kids in two years of marriage is hard but we were ready finacially and emotionally to become these parents. Needless to say, Taylor and I made sure not to get pregnant again. That lasted until I was 21, Aubrey was 1 1/2 and Rylee about 8 months old. Taylor and i had tried to insure that I wouldnt get pregnant again but aprently we went worng somewhere. In this pregnancie i felt different than my other two because i looked about 5 months pregnant when i was just 8 weeks into it. i supected something was up and at my 10 weeks check up i was told there were two heart beats. I was shocked, because i couldnt think of anybody on my side of the family that had a twin or something. But apprently Taylor had an uncle who had a twin that i forgot about lol.

At 16 weeks pregnant we found out the gender of our twins a boy and a girl. On semtember 14th i gave birth to Micha Lucas and Maria Grace. Having twin newborns with a 16 month old and a 2 year old was different and challenging but Taylor and i were ready for the challenge.

Taylor have agreed not to have anymore kids until the tiwns are at least 3. After realizing that i was 21 with four kids i was a bit shocked, taylor was already 27 so it wasent too bad for him, lol. The twins are almost a year old and our paln to wait to have mor kids until they were at least three failed. I am now 28 weeks pregnant with twins again! We couldnt believe two sets of twins in a row. Our newst addisons another boy and girl will be here shortley and i can't wait! Theres names with be Aaron Andrew and Mia Valerie.

A Miracle

The first time I had an inkling that something was up was on the first week of February. After my miscarriage last Sept 2010, I wasn't monitoring the number of days to my next period anymore as I had kinda lost hope in having a baby again. My period has been regular ever since I can remember. Anyway, back to February, I took a PT test and it came out negative. After a few days, I took one again but still... negative. Hubby and I flew to Manila the following day for a very short but tiring trip! My hubby, who is my exact opposite when it comes to buying things, as usual wanted us to walk all over Quiapo just to find the 1 thing he was looking for. Can't even remember what it was. I was a little concerned because I still hadn't gotten my period but I was feeling something... At the back of my mind, I was already feeling that I might be pregnant but then again you sometimes have the same feeling as when you're about to have your period. Anyway, to make the long story short, I finally got a positive on my PT by the time we were already back in Cebu. Hubby and I were still a little scared to talk about it for fear of another miscarriage so we waited until the 3rd week of Feb to go to my OB. Unfortunately, before my planned appointment, I had some spotting. I was told to have a TVS (trans vaginal sonogram) and lo and behold... I was already 7 weeks pregnant...WITH TWINS! Hubby couldn't seem to react well at first. He was really a "scaredy" cat to jinx (as if the twins would vanish once he acknowledges them! haha)the information. I myself was a bit scared too. First thing that came into my mind was the expenses! Uh-oh! Double for everything! But after awhile I began to like the idea. It's a miracle! God took my first baby and multiplied it into two! What could be a better gift than that!

Complete bedrest from 7th to 9th week due to my spotting which turned out to be caused by UTI.. oh they also saw a small subchorionic hemorrhage. Thankfully, on my 9th week TVS, the SCH was gone! Another miracle! My strict bedrest was lifted but hubby and I still opted that I continue on with my bedrest just to make sure that babies are safe.

So we jump now to my 6th month because my pregnancy has been relatively uneventful. Not that I'm complaining, but I've just read so many scary stories over the net (which by the way is my constant companion during this whole time because I was on bedrest for most of the time, yeah its really uneventful, lol!) Oh, I had some terrible pain and contractions on my 19th week that lasted for 3 days! I thought I was going to lose my babies that time. The only explanation my OB could give was my multiple fibroids which might be degenerating. Well we never did find out because my last ultrasound was done on my 17th week. The only good outcome after those 3 excruciating days was that I finally got to feel the tiny flutters of my babies! It was kinda weird at first, it was like there were worms kicking my tummy, hehe. I had my last pre-natal appointment last week where we heard again the heartbeats of my twins and their contant movement. My OB also provided me with a maternity support belt that really eased up the heavy tummy that I'm carrying now (some say I look like I'm about to pop anytime!) Can't wait for my next scheduled ultrasound just to see how my babies are doing now.
