Jinx, she doesn't have an official diagnosis. Just a positive pregnancy test at 1 mo. and her intuition.

Kids
 
I have 6 kids from 2 different marriages, 2 were accidents but as far as I am concerned they are and always will be loved with all my heart and soul! My last ex didn't want the next to the youngest girl and I just told her to have the baby, when she went out on maternity leave I would pay her bills and then raise my daughter myself and she could go her own way. She finally got the idea and had our daugter and even though her mom and I aren't toghther anymore she will always be special to me in her own way just like each and every one of them! So it seems like a huge burden to raise one more but its a gift to be able to have kids from God and we should all thank Him for that gift. I am sure she will and is a great mom and will continue to do so forever!

My boys used to call my Mum grammy. :) Reading that word brought a little tear to my eye. I wish she were here to meet Max.

So given that you're learning to be a truck driver... how much of the 24/7 burden do you bear for your 6?

My wife and I both were in previous marriages and now we have 8 children and 12 grandchildren. The grand children all come from her 3 boys who are older then my kids and several were aquired through mergers and aquisitions (divorced kids marrying spouses with kids, etc.)

Anyway, I consider all of them my kids and grandkids 100%.

My 5 were born in a 6 year span; the last 2 were only 13 months apart. We had a cloth diaper service as disposables were a new thing and rather expensive. At one point we had the younger 3 in diapers... that's a lot of the damn things and I often wish I had owned stock in that company!

Here's the story
Of a man called Houston
who was bringing up
quite a few sons

He met a woman
was a sweet dame
who had more kids
but no known name

And then one day
when they got hitched up
they met the family
and things got mixed up
what with grand kids,
step-nephew's nieces,
long-lost cousins
and nice-to-meet-yas

darlet #1 and one of her cousins were born just eight hours apart. They have similar personalities which probably has something to do with birth order (both firsts), but does make me wonder, sometimes, about mystic, starry, influences.
