So I wanted to write down some of the question and statements I’m asked or told and if anyone else has any questions feel free to comment or message me 🙂

Q. Are you all finished having kids now?

A. I no I might sound crazy but no, my husband and I have always said we want a big family and even though 6 of us is big I have always said I will know when I’m done and that time isn’t quite yet.

Q. When will you have more?

A. I would love maybe 1 or 2 more once this lot of rugrats are in school, with having them all so close you don’t get to really enjoy that baby stage cause you normally are helping and looking after the other kids as well.

Q. Your house must be huge?

A. Not going to lie a bigger house would be fantastic but we live in a 4 bedroom house and our 2 eldest share a room (by their choice) and our littlest is still in with us at the moment.

Q. Where they all planned?

A. No they were and that’s not me being mean but my 2 eldest where big surprises. I found out after finding out i was pregnant the second time that my body pretty much rejects birth control and that it gets wiped out with my hormone levels. So both my eldest I fell pregnant on the pill, also tried the depo shot and I was hospitalized as I bled for almost 10 months straight, so that ruled the bar in the arm as I was told it is the same hormone as the shot and they wouldn’t risk it again. I then hard the mirena implanted and at 4 weeks post having it done my body rejected it so they said it was pointless to try again as it would be money down the drain like the 1st time. My last 2 pregnancies where planned. My son we decided we wanted to start trying as we lost a little one just after my mirena came out as I had fallen pregnant while it was in. And our daughter we wanted to have one more so that it evened them all out and then have a break.

Q. What’s been the hardest pregnancy?

A. My son who was my third was by far my hardest pregnancy, I was sick very early on and was in and out of hospital the whole 9 months. The only other time that I had problems was with my fourth when I got a kidney infection and separation of my pubic bone in the last month.

“You have been so lucky!”

Yes I got to admit I have been very lucky but that doesn’t mean I haven’t suffered heart ache.

“You look amazing after 4 kids!”

I have been lucky to bounce back after each pregnancy but as some of you mum’s out there would know just because you are told you look amazing doesn’t mean you fell it. After my first three I felt good, I still worked bloody hard to tighten up and was constantly on my feet which helped but now after my fourth I have struggled with body image which I have always had issues with my it is definitely a lot worse this time around, and no matter what people will say about how you look you just don’t see it. So I want to say to anyone out there who might be experiencing this that it’s fine to feel this way, you have done an amazing thing of bringing a little life into this world so give your self a break 🙂 I no I’m trying to.

Q. What was the hardest change between 1-2, 2-3 or 3-4?

A. I think for me the biggest change was between 1 and 2 more so than any of the others as you are having to learn the juggling act or not just one but multiply children. The only change between 2 to 3 and to 4 has been the acceptance that you have to add a tone of extra time to do things so you can get out the door.

Q. Do you travel with all the kids?

A. When I was pregnant with my son my husband and I decided to move inland and the girls where seeing the father’s for two week blocks (2 weeks there, 2 weeks with us) so I was doing all the driving from where we lived to the gold coast which was a 8 hour trip one way. I did that for almost 12months then when I had our son the orders changed and it went to once a month and meeting half way and now it is just school holidays. All our other driving we tried to do when the girls were away but if we travelled we made sure there was plenty of snacks, drinks, toilet paper and activities to do in the car. Now we have travel in the car because our youngest hates car trips so it definitely makes it a lot harder.

“You will never be able to travel!”

Just because we have the kids doesn’t mean we have to give up the idea of holidays we are planned to still travel it will just take us a little longer to save but it will make amazing memories with the kids and experiences for them.
