We welcomed our 15th baby on December 3, 2020. A beautiful, healthy baby girl. 8 lbs 20.5 inches long. I go through my bedside nursery and introduce the new baby.
I showed my husband this video without sound and asked him to guess what number baby you were holding. He said "mmmm, # 2 or 3, maybe #4,.... early years"🤭 When I told him "that is #15" his jaw dropped, then after a few moments he just said "praise be to God!" My sentiments exactly, you look amazing and you are one blessed mama, one blessed family. Congratulations and may God continue to bless you...from a mama of 6 all the way in Kenya.
I am child #9 out of 12. The best part: built in friends who can always sleep over! 😁 The hardest part: never had alone time with Mom & never felt special or individual in the crowd. But the good outweighed the bad and I wouldn't trade my siblings for anything! ❤
Do you think there was anything that your parents could’ve done to support you more or be more in tune with that need? I’m considering a larger family so any advice from someone who grew up in one is great ☺️
@@Theprincessinyellow you need to have enough money to let each child pursue hobbies and teams. Being too poor to attend games & proms and to dress like classmates is very difficult for children. Also encourage their dreams & passions. If one child is better at something, let them excel. Don't tell a child they can't be double-promoted at school because it might hurt their older sibling's feelings. Use more praise & less demanding everyone to be quiet just because you're frustrated. Harshness from parents leave scars. Encourage individuality. Let each child be special. If there are two artists, let it be. Don't limit your family to one artist, one reader, one math whiz, etc. Try to provide new clothing all their own. Some hand-me-downs make sense but a child needs something that has only been theirs. Don't compare children. Try not to yell. It is scary when the adult is yelling & you weren't one of those being chaotic. I could probably write a book. I try very hard not to be negative about my parents. But I would never have chosen to be in such a large family. Sime children are more sensitive than others. But let God guide your decisions. Wishing you the best.
@@lawilson674 thank you so much!! That’s all very helpful, and I understand what you mean by not trying to resent your parents, have Grace with yourself for how you have felt because you ARE important! It’s one thing to hear from the parents’ perspective about being able to manage having a lot of children but I think it’s even more important to learn from those who grew up in the environment that we can overlook far too often
Thanks for this channel, it is very inspirational! I'd like to see how you do 1. Bath time 2. Bed time 3. Morning routine before school. Thanks again for your videos. I want a large family and you give me hope.
Congratulations, God bless you and your sweet family. I am from the family of 14, and have 9 of my own. Now God bless me with 15 grandchildren, and more to come. God is good!
I just came across your channel yesterday and can I just say you and your family are THE MOST AMAZING thing I’ve ever seen in my life. 15 kids and you still look like you’re 25. My mind is completely blown. I love your home and Baby Nancy is so very beautiful. I am so blessed to have found your channel. You are such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing!
Nancy beautiful little girl and a beautiful family! I am glad your labor and delivery went well! Cant wait to see more videos from you! You are a great RU-vidR!!
Congratulations! You are definitively a super mom! I stopped at 4 and feel like i devoted many years to my kids ... for you, it’s a never ending story of giving your time, caring, planning, cooking, cleaning ... wow! You are good! I guess you have your moments but still, compared to not having new ones all the time, you don’t really have lots of time for yourself for sure.
The more you have the easier it gets ;) My experience was that only having 1 was more work than having 5 because you are the sole entertainment for that one child, with more kids they look out for each other and entertain each other a lot.
Grace Pringle I sure hope so! My husband wants a big family. But I do see your point, it’s exhausting being the entertainer all day long, especially as I am a sahm. There’s only so much we can do especially in the colder weather. I do love the positive to the kids entertaining each other lol looking forward to that ☺️😁
I have six and we're thinking about a seventh. Having two, once they get to an age where they can play together, is far easier than having one. It's hard to just say I want a big family, period. Some families are better off with just two kids. My kids enjoy being siblings and get along well, but if they didn't, I never would have had as many kids as I did. And I was a teacher for many years, so I had a lot of practice with being in charge of a large group of kids. You'll know how big to grow your family as time goes on. But for now, your two will be great!! 😊😊😊
@Alexandra Hall We sent the early ultrasound to the gender experts and they said boy. We're pretty sure it's a boy, we've got 8 boys and 4 girls right now, likelihood of another boy is pretty high lol.
@@dmess3735 I have 4. They are in charge of paying for their education. I will reimburse by giving them money for their monthly payment (i will cover 1/2) after they graduate. For example... my loan total was 12,000. I paid cash when I could and used loans when I had to. I also lived at home and went to a community college and then state. So I pay 200.00/month for my loan. My parents gave me 100. It was great because the loan isn't heavy, it made me take my education seriously and graduate on time. Also the payment isn't too much for anyone. So perhaps they will do something like that.
Congratulations! So happy to see people having large families again. My grandmother was the 10th child in her family. Lucky for me, that they had large families back in the early 1900's, or I wouldn't be here.
That's awesome! My Mom is #8 out of 10. We are on 3rd cousins, now reaching child bearing ages, we have all but three family members living in the same area. Simply magical! We have to rent a Pavillion for Summer gatherings, there are hundreds of us😂
Your baby is absolutely beautiful 🥰 Your family is beautiful too. You truly are an inspiration. I love how you & your husband put your family first. I look forward to watching your videos & getting ideas of how I can run my household more efficiently.
Although this is three years old, a congratulations is still in order! So happy for you that Nancy was your easiest labor and delivery! She is absolutely precious, so cuuuuute, just like your other children❤ Homebirths are magical you are blessed to have that option sweet Momma! Love the name Nancy❤ I know two myself and always liked the name! Fathers often have a 'Junior' and Mom's often don't and I don't understand that, but think its awesome!❤ Blessings and good health to you and your family, Nancy❤! Thank you for sharing!
That’s awesome! Congratulations on your 15th! She’s beautiful! My father’s uncle had 13 kids so it’s neat to see you raise15 kids in these modern times. And you look beautiful!
