Okay, so when I can I catch any baby/kid related show on Discovery Health. Right now I'm watching a special called "Twins, Twins, and more Twins." I thought it was going to be about different families, wrong! The story revolves around one family that started out with the mother and 6 boys from a previous marriage. When her new husband and she decided to add their own children to the family, what came was a few sets of twins. Yeah, a few... First a set of boys, then a single girl, then a set of girl twins, then two more boys (who were born 4 mo. prematurely,...not sure that they will survive through the show... you know how that goes... UPDATE--They made it :)), and two more on the way! 13 kids! Yikes!

I only have 1, with another on the way. People have joked about this being twins, but I do not feel that is a possibility. I don't know... Anyway, I think it is amazing those of you who have lots and lots of kids! What a blessing, and what a learning process. More Power (from Him) to you! :wink:

Oh, wow! They need Ty Pennington to come build them a new place!

LOL, no kidding! We just got a new book in the library I work in called: Extreme Makeover the Home Edition, Behind the Scenes... or something like that. Anyway, it covers a bunch of the ins and outs of the families they've helped, and the houses they've built. :) Gotta love it!

Oh my...
But mind you, I know of a couple of people that have 2 sets of twins.
First person was my first gynea. He had twin girls, and eventually had the courage to try again (for a boy) and they had another set of twins.

I don't go to him anymore - so i don't know how they doing... but he has 4 girls now.

Then, a couple at our church. They have 2 sets of twins - one is 2 daughters, the other is a son & daughter pair.

I guess it depends on how strong the "twin" gene is in your blood or something.. :)

But think of it, instead of carrying for 18 months to get 2m you carry for 9 months (or less).
:)
All the best anyway!

I'm with you, I only have 2 kids and couldn't imagine having more right now. I cant imagine having that many all at the same time. I guess God gives you the strenth. How many times have I been told "He won't give you anything he knows you are not strong enough to handle." He must think that family is VERY strong!!! :wink:

Oh that was the special on the Healy family, right? They have an online photo album http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g296/ThreeSetsOfTwins/?

I love watching specials about big families! The Duggars are another family that I like to watch shows about; there was just one about them building a bigger house - they have 16 children and #17 is one the way - I am not sure if the Healys are Christian or not, but the Duggars are:

:D That's them!!! The Healy's. I don't think they gave the last name on the program... I could have just missed it. Awesome! Thank you for sharing. :)

I definitely think God looked at us and said, "Nope, definitely not strong enough to handle it!" Some of our close friends had twins a year ago on Christmas Day. (I know, not only TWINS, but CHRISTMAS too!!!!) They had a two year old as well, all boys. I was just thinking the other day that she got 3 kids out of 15 months of pregnancy (the twins were 2 months early, and the other one a month early)... I mean, really how lucky can you get! For most of us it would take 27 months!!!

Oh Lordy!!
