All for a boy!


I was already a mother to a 9 month old girl, Belle, when myself and my husband decided to try for a boy. We got pregnant almost instantly and crossed our fingers for a boy. My family noticed how much larger I was than last time and decided it was because it was a boy this time so when my 4 month check-up came and I was in 7 month clothes the doctor knew what I was thinking. Twins. I almost fainted when they told me it was quads. I laughed when they said it was four girls. My husband almost cried! He wanted a boy badly but he still loved girls.

On April 1st 2003 I got to hold my girls. Annabelle came first weighing in at 6 pounds even and 20 inches. Next came Isabelle with the same measurements. Jenibelle was 3rd at 6 pounds 5 oz. and 21 inches and Mirabelle came last at 5 pounds 5 oz. and 19 inches.

We weren't expecting them to be so big and they only spent 4 nights in the hospital. We took our fools day babies home and were plagued with sleepless nights for a week or so until the babies got onto a schedule.

When Jeni, Anna, Mira and Isa were 3 months old my husband said he wanted to try again. For a boy of course. I was like when all the kids are in school we can try again. But just once. Well, the kids went to school in '06 and I had Henri Neville that August.

With Henri came Sebastien Michel since I obviously couldn't get away with having just one baby. We brought him home and my husband didn't ask for another boy but of course I am 8 months pregnant with a girl, to be named Lucille Brielle and after this we are not having any more.

I am done with being pregnant and I want to sit back and watch my Belle, Annablle, Isabelle, Jenibelle, Mirabelle, Henri, Sebastien and Lucille grow into beautiful ladies and gentlemen. We are moving to France, my native country, and plan on raising all eight of our children there and then living there for the rest of our lives.

True, 8 children is a lot but I always wanted a big family and while I wanted 10 originally I am content. I suppose if I happen to have a couple more children it would be okay but I do not plan on it and whatever happens happens. Au Revoir!

How do you cope? I have no idea.


I found out I was prengant and 8 months later out came Isobel Grettle and Rochelle Grace, along with a small bundle of surprise, Annabelle Grier. Later, I found out that I was pregnant again. I had Brigitta Evangelina. When the G's were 3 and Gitta was 18 months I gave birth to Henry Cuddin, James Curran, and Theodore Cullen. The G's started pre-school that year and I put Gitta into playschool. I got pregnant again. I carried for 10 1/2 months before Braillen Evan and Bethany Evelyn. I had one more baby, Benjamin Everett. 10 kids. The older four are in school and the C-boys are in daycare. We may not be an ordinary family but we are ALL happy, healthy and in love with each other very much.

twins boy and girl

I'm 26 weeks preg. No one will tell me when i should expect twins since they could go to full term or early. I'm kinda freaking out a bit. I have 4 year old girl and have had two failed pregys. The doc said that in most cases of twins the mother should have at least been preg 3-4 times before the body will produce twins. How ever a lot of it has to do with genetics and etc...

I had no clue when i went in for my ultra sound at 12 weeks that i was going to find out that i was going to have twins. As soon as the lady told me there was two I was in shock, i called my husband while i was still on the table. it just changed our whole life at that moment.

We had planned for one but two this is really going to be a challenge. wish me luck. I now know that they will be a boy and a girl. and that is all i will be having. 3 is enough for me.

amazing

you hear all these stories about people having twins i always thought id love twin girls. my wisj came through when i was 23 me and my boyfrind went for an ultrasound that confirmed that i was carrying twins.

on the 15th january 2004 when i was 34 weeks pregnant i went into labour it was painful but quite amazing my dream came through, megan was born at 11.21 pm followed 11 minutes later by sister mellissa.

we were delighted, the babies were happy and healthy and we soon fell into a routine

in may 2005 when the girls were only 5 months old i discovered i was pregnant again i was shocked but soon i dealt with it me and my boyfriend had planned to get married but we decided to put it off. next the big shock i was expecting twins again we were gobsmacked but time flew and it was time to go and have my twins on the 23 december 2005 i gave birth to micheal first then millie then a shock again there was a third baby that the ultrasound didnt see. a little boy ben.

now i felt my family was complete i had three beautiful girls and two handsome boys

me and their dad got married in july 2006

i am currently expecting our final child after this i will need to get my tubes tied.... im just hoping that it is one baby ot two of three
even if i do love my babies

Poppy & Tommy xx (Ollie too)

I have two beautiful twins Poppy and Thomas. It's adorable watching them. They fall asleep holding each others ears and in the morning I'll wake up and find them gurgling to each other. When they have each other it seems like they don't even want any adult attention! Their big brother Oliver is at the tender age of 3 and extremely jealous of all the attention!
