36, expecting 5th ;) Anyone else?

[4boys1girl]

Good morning! My name is Kat. I am 36 years old and have 4 beautiful children. 3 boys and 1 "princess". My children are not small, lol. My oldest son is graduating highschool this summer he is 17yrs (soon to be 18). My second son is 14, third son is 11 and my daughter is 4.5. She will start Kindergarten in September.

We were unexpectedly pregnant a few years ago, but had MC. I was so down after that, I realized...I DO want another. I am I nuts? lol. So, we started trying. And we tried and tried and tried. Nothing, until we gave up.

Now, here we are almost 3 years later, staring at 5 BFPs! I am super excited!!

But, I feel so nervous too. Not only am I afraid of another MC, but I feel old, lol. I guess afraid of increased chances of problems with being older. Does anyone else have these concerns?

I think people will think we are crazy to be starting all over again.

I guess I just want to see if there is anyone else in similar situation or has large family and how you cope. I definitely can't wait for this pregnancy to progress and eventually meet our newest member

maybebaby ... great to hear from you. so glad there are others up for a big family I am from a large family (there were nine of us) so I guess it stands to reason that I have one too My 4th was a surprise, took some getting used to, but i wouldn't trade her for anything!
So glad you are happy with your fourth and a boy huh? awesom. When is the little guy due? congrats to you on that!!!

I am thinking my 2 oldest wont be so excited when they hear about a fifth...boys get weird about stuff like that :/

hi there congrats on your new baby.
I am 35, (36 when baby born) with #8. I have 16, 12,11,10, 3 2 9 months and when baby comes I will have 16,12,11,10,3,2,1 and newborn. The first 7 are BOYS the next is a girl. So we are so excited. We (well I) have had experience with many back to back, so this is not new to me . My dh is not the father to the older 4, so the last 4 will be a new experience for him, and I of course ;0

 

[4boys1girl]

Barbi...my dd birthday is the 24th its a nice time of year to have baby, just before the hustle and bustle of holidays

mommy2lilmen...WOW!! you are a super mom. Glad to hear you are still having babies with your oldest being 16. I dont know why I feel weird about it myself :/ I mean, I am happy, but then I think, "wow, he's graduating HS. almost an adult himself". I'll get over it.

my mother had 9, 6 boys 3 girls. I am super exciting you are havimg a girl this time. girls are different and a lot of fun. she will surely be the "little princess" with lots of big brothers to look after her. Congrats ! Are you due in September as well?

Well I did feel kinda weird restarting with my husband as my 4th son was out of diapers and I was fixed. We got my tubes untied to have our next set of babies. You will be fine with another baby and one almost out of highschool
I am due September 13, 2013 my 4th September baby

I'm due on 8th September my kids are excited tho my daughter wasn't impressed that its another boy! She says she has enough brothers

 

[4boys1girl]

Maybebaby...boys are easier, lol. At leat I think so. Wow, lots of september babies here. I won't be due til until of December.I have 2 in february, one in july and one in september. so this should be interesting managing being full preggo during the holidays It would be nice to have it before Christmas so I can home with the kids for Christmas and not worry. Hope, let just HOPe

 

[Barbi]

September babies are made during Christmas/New Year period, that's why there are so many virgo babies out there. My partner is one of them, his birthday is 18 September and so with my due date being 20 September I am likely to have her around his birthday sometime, would love to have her on his birthday, wouldn't forget either of their birthdays for sure lol.

 

[maybebaby3]

This will be my 2nd September baby

I agree boys are easier. The problem I have is space as we have a small 3 bed 1 bath flat so a girl would've been easier as they would've shared 2 to a room! Oh well!

 

[4boys1girl]

my dh is Sept 23 my dd is sept 24. on the 23rd we thought my water was leaking....went in thinking...this is it, and thy said no. that night at about 2am, my water burst!

Its ok about another boy. Looks like ur youngest is only 2? Baby can stay with you for a while and he'll still be young enough to room up with a baby girl. He probably won't be bothered by it until he's a bit older and who knows wat could happen by then

 

[4boys1girl]

omg just woke up sorry i botched that last msg, lol
I meant to say that your girl wont mind sharing with the baby. She probably won't mind until she is a teeneager, lol.

LOL, definitly!! I can also attribute it to having to have to pee three times last night in the middle of the night. Even when I wake, I still feel soooo tired. But thats ok...I'll take it
