Wow, that's a lot of kids! I feel like I'm losing my mind with only 2 sometimes lol. I'm sorry to hear about your lost, I'm sure it's the hardest thing ever.

Welcome back to the forum. I'm pretty new myself, joined up in December.

My husband and I are both in the Navy also. :D He's an AG3 and I'm a CTR2. Gotta love the Navy life. I'm also a Navy brat myself. I love "meeting" other military people.

Can we ask you questions? I'm curious to alot of things. Like, how do you do Christmas? What is the biggest challenge? What do you do for "mom" time? How do you not show favortism and love on ALL of them?
I would love to have a big family but the three I have are so expensive now. I've thought about adopting, still a though. I hope you don't mind me asking. I think it's very brave to have 13. Sorry about your loss. How old was that baby when you lost her?

Wow, 12 kids!! My husband is always joking that I used to say I wanted twelve when we first got together. I just wanted to have as many as I could cause I came from a big family myself but now that I have two it's harder than I expected just taking care of them. In my family the older kids helped take care of the younger ones. Do your older kids help out?

for the warm welcome!!:) Christmas we start buying early in October or sometimes around November. Since we have older children and they have jobs they like to draw names so one year when I was working all that worked drew names for the Santa gifts and then each older Kid picked one of the Older Children and me and Hubby. This seemed to work out the best so its has now become the Tradiational thing for gifts here. Me and Hubby still buy a few of the little ones gifts too. Mom time, I love to work out I go to the gym 5 days a week and time wise I normally spend 1 hour &amp; thirty minutes or if I am loaded with a lot of destress time I do 2 hours. Yes my older children do help. They all have chores plus they do babysit for me and DH if we want a night out.

Our little girl we lost to SID was 2 months 12 days old. Hmm Favoritism what that? LOL honestly I do not have one nor do I believe in showing this I grew up with this as child and swore it would be something my children would never see. My days do not end till way past 1:00 am so sleep is rare but well worth it.Somedays it hard to spend one on one but reading time is something the ones from 6 months old to 7 enjoy .Then Sunday is our Family night we always have a cook out when DH BBQ's the kids who are older will have thier college friends or class mates ( high school) over. This is great day for thier friend who call me and DH Mom &amp; Dad come over we do a lot of sharing laughing &amp; Playing there Volley Ball, Basket Ball and some days the kids dancing!! Family to me is very important it one thing I hold dear to my heart and pass this on to my children.The unity the bond the love and respect is something that is rare but once taught and children grow up with its something you look at your kids and see it all has paid off. Whew sorry so long I do love having a Big Family!!

My Husband came from 10 kids and I came from 7 so its something we both always knew. Will you have more? I know we are done I am 43 now so for the first time ever I feel my age some days;) </SIZE>
