Year 1: [name_u]Colby[/name_u] starts getting into cooking. He’s pretty decent at it!

[name_f]Simona[/name_f] [name_f]Luise[/name_f] Hagebak, née Littke, 21, studying marine biology in Hamburg, newly married to
[name_m]Frederik[/name_m] Hagebak, 26, dutch, teacher for chemistry, physics and math, moved to Hamburg to be with [name_f]Simona[/name_f]

Year 1: [name_f]Simona[/name_f]'s best friend [name_f]Stefanie[/name_f] and her boyfriend [name_m]Markus[/name_m] are getting married. [name_f]Simona[/name_f] gets to plan a gorgeous bridal shower for her.
Year 2: [name_f]Simona[/name_f] finds her long hair annoying and unpractical, so she gives herself a pixie cut. Now instead she’s annoyed by others asking “Did something happen?” “Are you pregnant?” “Are you a lesbian?”
Year 3: [name_m]Markus[/name_m] and [name_f]Stefanie[/name_f] are having a baby! [name_m]Frederik[/name_m] and [name_f]Simona[/name_f] get to be godparents of little [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Mateo[/name_m].
Year 4: [name_m]Frederik[/name_m] and [name_f]Simona[/name_f] decide to adopt. Their new son is 2-year-old [name_m]Jaxon[/name_m] from the USA. They change his name to [name_m]Lucas[/name_m], but keep [name_m]Jaxon[/name_m] as middle name.
Year 5: [name_m]Frederik[/name_m] likes the science part of his job, but not the teaching part. So he leaves and starts working as a theoretical physicist instead.
Year 6: 4-year-old [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] seems to like his daddy’s new job, he enjoys physical experiments and becomes a science fan himself.
Year 7: [name_f]Simona[/name_f] and her research team have a bad accident with their boat and [name_f]Simona[/name_f] loses her left hand. She can’t go back to work at sea again.
Year 8: [name_f]Simona[/name_f] and [name_m]Frederik[/name_m] try to get pregnant, but no luck. [name_f]Simona[/name_f]‘s older brother [name_m]Matthias[/name_m] is marrying his girlfriend [name_f]Mei[/name_f] this year and [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] gets to be ringbearer!
Year 9: One year of trying and [name_f]Simona[/name_f] still isn’t pregnant. She starts taking fertility pills - and soon finds herself pregnant with triplets! 7-year-old [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Jaxon[/name_m] is joined by [name_u]Finn[/name_u] [name_m]Matthias[/name_m], [name_m]Bram[/name_m] [name_m]Markus[/name_m] and [name_m]Liam[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m].
Year 10: First the triplets sleep in their parents’ bedroom, but as they keep growing this soon isn’t possible any more. The family paints [name_f]Simona[/name_f]'s old homeoffice a bright blue and turns it into a nursery.
Year 11: [name_f]Simona[/name_f] thinks it would be fun to once again have the shocked reactions people had to her pixie cut, so she dyes it green. But no-one seems to care all that much.
Year 12: [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] finds a young stray cat on his way home from school. He gets to keep her. She’s black and white and he calls her [name_f]Elly[/name_f].
Year 13: [name_f]Fleur[/name_f], [name_m]Frederik[/name_m]‘s 17-year-old niece, is having a baby. She can’t take care of it herself and asks [name_m]Frederik[/name_m] for help. [name_u]Baby[/name_u] boy [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] [name_m]Thijs[/name_m] stays with them, at least until [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] is 18.
Year 14: The family gets another cat, red-brown [name_f]Helma[/name_f].
Year 15: Another child would be great, but again [name_m]Frederik[/name_m] and [name_f]Simona[/name_f] need their time getting pregnant. And then they even have to stop trying: [name_m]Frederik[/name_m] gets a job offer in the UK and will be gone for 3 months. 13-year-old [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] has to take on a lot of responsibility for his 6-year-old brothers.
Year 16: The fertility pills do their magic again and [name_f]Simona[/name_f] finds herself pregnant with all girl triplets. [name_u]Lynn[/name_u] [name_f]Stefanie[/name_f], [name_f]Tess[/name_f] [name_f]Johanne[/name_f] and [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Mei[/name_f] join the family.
Year 17: [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] has an accident and has to stay at the hospital for a month. In the meantime, [name_m]Frederik[/name_m] and [name_f]Simona[/name_f] take care of 4-year-old [name_m]Wesley[/name_m].
Year 18: [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] gets his girlfriend [name_f]Sara[/name_f] pregnant. He panics at first, but the family has taken care of so many babies by now, they’re confident they can handle another. [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]’ daughter is called [name_f]Kalea[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f].
Year 19: [name_f]Helma[/name_f] the cat has babies! They give most of them away but keep one, [name_u]Toby[/name_u]. [name_f]Helma[/name_f] gets fixed after that.
Year 20: A flood ruins the family’s house! [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] takes the cats and gets to live with his girlfriend and daughter in a small flat. [name_f]Simona[/name_f] and the girls stay with [name_f]Simona[/name_f]'s brother [name_m]Matthias[/name_m], [name_m]Frederik[/name_m] and the boys stay with [name_m]Markus[/name_m], [name_f]Stefanie[/name_f] and their son [name_m]Felix[/name_m]. After 8 months, the insurance money for the house arrives and the family can move back together in their new home.

Y09: [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is having trouble at school, so [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and I start going in to do parent help sessions. It’s not instant, but he slowly gets more used to it, and soon he doesn’t even need us in there anymore, cramping his style!
Y10: There must be something in the water, because on [name_f]October[/name_f] 11, our third set of twins, identical [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] and [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] are born. [name_f]Esther[/name_f] is starting to feel a bit outnumbered!

Year 1- My sister [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] has a baby, [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f], setting me off on a broody streak!

Year 2- [name_m]William[/name_m] is asked to travel to [name_u]America[/name_u] for three months with his job. This puts our plans to start a family on hold and we miss each other terribly.

Year 3-Blessed with twin girls! [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Priya[/name_f] and [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Natasha[/name_f]. They’re gorgeous!

Year 4-[name_m]William[/name_m] has to travel again for three months, but this time to [name_f]France[/name_f]. It’s closer to home and both myself and the girls can come with him as I’m still on maternity leave. It’s hard work but it’s fun dusting off my [name_m]French[/name_m] and being in such a beautiful country.

Year 5- [name_m]William[/name_m]'s youngest sister, [name_f]Alice[/name_f], announces that she’s pregnant at 16. We wanted to take in the child but [name_f]Alice[/name_f] admitted that it would be too hard on her having her baby so close. We take her in for the remainder of her pregnancy, and she decides to put her baby boy up for adoption. All she asks is that they keep the name [name_m]Silas[/name_m] somewhere in the name. The adoptive parents are thankful for their opportunity at parenthood, and adopt beautiful [name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] into a loving home.

Year 6- My work downsizes and cuts my job. [name_m]William[/name_m] is making enough money to support us for now, and I decide tot ake a few years off to spend with the girls whilst they’re little.

Year 7- We are trying this year, but don’t conceive. However, there’s a local family looking for a home for their newborn little boy. We are ecstatic, and take in [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] Milun. The girls are in love with their baby brother!

Year 8- [name_m]Will[/name_m], the girls and I decide to do some spring cleaning. We end up finding £10,000 in the garage from the old owners, along with a note saying “it’s yours! Enjoy.” We go on a family holiday to [name_f]Italy[/name_f], and put the rest of the money into a savings account for the children.

Year 9- I write a short story about motherhood, which gets published in a magazine and earns me £200!

Year 10- [name_m]Will[/name_m]'s job takes us from Cambridge to [name_u]London[/name_u]. The house is a suburban detached house in the [name_u]West[/name_u] of the city.

Year 11-We were trying again this year for a baby, but with no luck. I decide to go back to university for a Master’s in Genetics. This is difficult with three young children, but it’s worth it. There’s just a lot less time for outings and the like.

Year 12- I manage to complete the degree, and we take in a 16 year old foster child called [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] for a year. She’s a lovely, kind-hearted girl and we keep in touch afterwards.

Year 13-surprised with girl triplest! [name_f]Orla[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] and [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. They’re wonderful, but a lot of hard work!

Year 14-I write another story about parenting that also gets published.

Year 15-My cousin, [name_f]Isadora[/name_f], has a baby who she can’t take care of financially. We take in [name_m]Johnny[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m] for three months whilst she gets back on her feet. He’s a gorgeous little man!

Year 16-We don’t conceive (though we aren’t doing anything to stop it!) but adopt a beautiful little boy, [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u].

Year 17-last babies, we think! Another set of twin girls, [name_f]Astraia[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] and [name_f]Romilly[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f].

Year 18-Oh my gosh. Unexpectedly pregnant with another set of girl twins! We’re running out of names! [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] and [name_f]Joanna[/name_f] [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Freya[/name_f].

Year 19-I write some more, and am now a regular columist in a parenting magazine.

Year 20-[name_m]William[/name_m] is asked to travel for three months to [name_f]France[/name_f] again. Myself and the children say in [name_f]England[/name_f]. Our relationship is still strong. After all, we’re the ones who keep having all these babies!
