I'm Cathy and I have five human children between the ages of 17 and 2, one dog, two cats, assorted fish and a crazy husband. Well, he's only crazy part of the time. We take turns.

Hi! Big families are the best! I have five biological children and four step children. Seven live with us, one lives with his mom and one is already married with a kid of his own. We also have a nephew that lives with us full time, a niece that lives with us part time, a dog and two cats.

I'm Wendy and I have 5 children--3 girls 11, 9, and 7 and 4 year old twin boys. I'm also participating in NaNoWriMo. In December I'll probably be spending my free time in therapy.

Hi, I'm Tami. I have a three-year-old, a one-year-old and a baby born this past May (two older boys and a baby girl). With just the three, we don't have a "larger family" as of yet, but we do have a larger family than most people we know. Also, our kids are spaced closer together than most people we know. That means we end up with a lot of the "Are those all yours?" and "You have your hands full" comments that I hear about other larger families getting. I guess I feel like in some ways I can relate.

Yay for big families and the fun of a bazillion kids! I'm Stacie and I've got five kids as well, ages 11 to 7 months. I think. Sometimes I have the vague feeling that I may have lost one under the couch.

Hi , I am April mom of 5 also. We get comments all the time about basketball teams, are they all yours , and my very favorite "don't you know how that happens". We never originally planned to have such a large family but as they came we knew we wanted more each time , then number 5 came and we knew we were done.I look forward to getting to know others in my position.

Hee Hee! Seems to be the Mothers of Five Children group!

I also have five ranging from 16 to 1 yr. We also have 1 dog and 2 new kittens. Love being around other big families! Love the chaos!

Oops, looks like I'm breaking up the "five kid" party! I'm a mom of four boys ages almost-10 through almost-2. I never realized four kids was a big family these days until I got pregnant with #3 and people started looking at me funny!

Yes! Pregnant with your first, you can expect congratulations. Pregnant with 4 or more? Stunned silence at best.

Our youngest is named Echo. Why? When I announced that I was pregnant, I heard "Again? Another one?" so many times we joked that it sounded like an echo.
