Peplophoros Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Just found out I'll be joining the club. Any words of advice? Oldest will be 8 soon. :party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsMommy Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Congrats! My oldest had just (as in, earlier that week), turned nine when baby #5 arrived last year. It was, by far, the easiest addition to our family. They all fawned over her from the start, and the novelty still hasn't worn off a year-and-a-half later! She's very well-loved, and more than a little spoiled! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Congrats and good luck! My #5 has been very challenging, but he's incredibly adorable and absolutely hysterical. He keeps us down to earth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypatia. Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Congrats! :laugh: Our #5 was born when my oldest was 8 also. It's total chaos, some days my house is terrifying, some days I want to eat my young, other days they get along so well it makes me wish I had more siblings. I sometimes wonder what in the world I was thinking, as I'm trying to homeschool the older 3, holding the baby that will only nap on my lap and keep my 3 year old from destroying the house. I wouldn't trade it for anything, though there are many days that I'm eyeing the wine before we're done with grammar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Dup. Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 My oldest was 8 when I had my fifth. :) My fifth has been my easiest, most charming, most wonderful child. They are all wonderful, but he has been nothing but a joy. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 congratulations. just remember, they grow very fast and when things seem overwhelming - just remember it will pass. faster than seems possible. (I will admit - 1dd was 9 1/2 when 2ds was born - she was 22 when dudeling was born. so he almost qualifies as an only.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicMama Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Congratulations! I'm pretty new to the club myself. The only advice I have is to cut yourself some slack. Be kind to yourself. Take naps! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Congratulations! I'm not in the club but i sure wish i was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Congratulations! It is a great club! Our oldest was 6 when #5 was born. They were and continue to be best friends. The only thing is, if you want an even number so that each person always has a partner (on rides, the bus, etc.), you should have six. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrygal Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I'm about to join the club soon with a #5! Oldest will also be about 8. Most people think I'm crazy, but I don't understand what the big deal is adding another one this time. Everything is already crazy; the house is a crazy mess, I'm going crazy, but it's all fun. Congrats! :hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowing Brook Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I am not a mother of five but wanted to offer my congratulations as a mother of five or more wannabe. :hurray: :hurray: :party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curlgirl Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 My fifth child is a rare breed. She is hysterical. She will be six next month and in Sunday School all the little girls wanted to sing a song. Her teacher (who also happens to be her grandmother) asked her on the tenth verse when the song was going to be over. My daughter said well I don't really know grandma. And my mother-in-law looked at her and said are you making this up as you go? Yes grandma. ;) Welcome to the club it's a good one to be in. :hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
