Your (BIG) Family's Life

While visiting your hometown, [name_u]London[/name_u], on your senior year of college you meet a nice guy at your old high school’s football game. His name is [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] [name_m]Ross[/name_m] [name_m]Smith[/name_m] and turns out he went to your big high school but you’ve never met. You continue to talk and meet up but then spring break is over and you leave to go home to college. You stay connected but miss the time you spent together. He surprises you at your graduation. He gets on one knee and proposes and of course you say YES! 6 months later you get married on your old high school’s football field, where the two of you met. You and your new hubby jet off to [name_u]Bristol[/name_u] where you learn he has a lot of money. You spend the next four months traveling Europe when you start to feel sick and groggy. Convinced it is nothing you continue until the sickness doesn’t stop and you think you are crazy for seeing a belly. Your husbands suspects it too, so you go home and learn you are pregnant!

Figuring the whole baby thing was a surprise enough, you discover the gender. It is a boy! Three months later you deliver the baby on the side of the road!!! You indirectly use the Paramedics’ name, [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] [name_m]Cooper[/name_m] and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f], as a middle name. The first is with the initial L. His name is [name_m]Liam[/name_m] [name_m]Cooper[/name_m].

All is well until a month later your sister-in-law dies. Her children, since she is a single mom, go to you. She has three boys [name_m]Caden[/name_m] [name_m]Jason[/name_m] (3),[name_m]Jedidiah[/name_m] [name_m]Jones[/name_m] 4, [name_u]Percy[/name_u] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] 5, and a girl, [name_f]Mariana[/name_f] [name_f]April[/name_f] 2. In the course of a year, you’ve gotten married, had a baby, and adopted four children. You and your husband still want more kids but decide to wait four years.

That plan doesn’t work because 7 months later, you discover you are pregnant again! This time with a girl! You go for the home-birth plan and deliver her safely. Your midwife was so awesome you decide to name your baby girl indirectly after her: [name_f]Jillian[/name_f] [name_u]Tatum[/name_u]. (The middle is of your choice) Your beautiful baby girl is: [name_u]Tatum[/name_u] [name_u]June[/name_u].

This baby was so easy that you go for another baby and get pregnant one month later! The kids will be Irish twins! You go to the doc and discover one baby is actually two. One boy and one girl and such a surprise. Your midwife tells you she can do multiple so you go the natural route again. Eight months into your pregnancy, [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], your neighbors, die in a car crash and leave you their three children: [name_m]Robinson[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m] 9, [name_m]Hansen[/name_m] [name_u]Orion[/name_u] 9, and [name_u]Kassidy[/name_u] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] 15.

You get the children settled in and a week later your water breaks! Your boy pops out first in a very quick labor and the girl comes an hour later. You name them after your best friends: [name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_u]Carlisle[/name_u] and [name_f]Melissa[/name_f] [name_u]Harley[/name_u]. For the middles you use a place name for the girl and an occupation name for the boy. Their names are [name_m]Seamus[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] and [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_u]Harley[/name_u].

Your big family feels complete. [name_u]Seven[/name_u] years go by and the kids are doing well in school and enjoying time with their brothers and sisters. [name_u]Kassidy[/name_u] just graduated college and has become a teacher. You miss the feel of baby skin and long for teaching kids how to talk and walk. You and your husband agree that you will try for one year but if God doesn’t put it in your plan then you will just enjoy the family you have. On your very last try you get pregnant! In the months before you read how ultrasound and other medical equipment can sometimes be harsh on a baby so you decide to go for a 100% natural pregnancy. Your belly grows very quickly in the eight and a half months ahead. Your midwife thinks it is quadruplets but you stick to your no ultrasound idea.

Your water breaks at the market and contractions come on slow. You meet your midwife at the birth center. In a grueling 15 hour labor, you finally deliver the first baby, a boy! You name him [name_m]Greyson[/name_m] [name_m]Andrew[/name_m]. A short five minutes later, another boy comes! You name him (middle and first) after your father, [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Patterson[/name_m]. You call him ET. Six minutes later another boy comes along. You choose his name based off your husband’s initials. His name is [name_u]Logan[/name_u] [name_u]River[/name_u].

Labor dies down for another hour but you and your midwife know that there are more babies. The urge to push leads to a baby girl! You name her after your mother: [name_u]Addison[/name_u] [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]. She is [name_f]Cassie[/name_f] [name_u]Lou[/name_u]. Right after that girl comes another! Your husband insists upon naming her after yourself. You name her after your Middle Name. (choose her middle from the updating names list above). This little girl is [name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Amber[/name_f].

You still have contractions but can’t even think about the fact that there is another baby in you. 9 minutes later you deliver the third girl! This will be your last child so you name her something unique but trendy. The middle comes from an influential move actress. You name this baby [name_f]Maelie[/name_f] [name_u]Bailey[/name_u].

You and your husband don’t want any more children and are happy with your sextuplets growing up. When your sextuplets are six you learn that surprise you are pregnant! Your midwife tells you it is twins: two girls! These babies come in another grueling labor. This time it takes two and a half days for them to come! You look at Nameberry for naming advice. The middles come from another one of your best friends, [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f]. You decide on [name_f]Essa[/name_f] [name_f]Katie[/name_f] & [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_u]Taylor[/name_u].

Luckily you have a big house with lots of rooms for your 19 children. But this won’t turn into a reality show because you are not “& counting” and this is it!
