Well, I lied about my kids. I don't have four, I have eight. And you may not believe me, and that's okay. I understand. But I just found out that my husband, which I have always said was my boyfriend, is going off to Iraq in about a month. I don't know how to cope! It's hard when you are only twenty, with eight kids, and having your husband going off to Iraq! Is any of your loved ones in Iraq?
Here are my kids:
Jacob, 7
Nicholas, 6
Kenneth, 5
Grace, 4
Tanner, 3
Kelsey, 2
Sabrina, 1
Hayden, 1
You may think I'm a slut, but I'm not. All of them except Nicholas and Kenneth were planned. And yes, I am planning on having more. And I am pregnant right now, I'm expecting on the 20th and I am pretty sure its a girl.
Another question (Just to save points): What's your favorite girls name?

I can cope with my kids. I love my kids. I couldn't imagine life without them. I can handle my kids alone. It's my husband being away and me and the kids missing him is what I am worried about.....not handling the kids.

Yes, I planned having Jacob at 13, thank-you-very-much! My son literally saved my life. I was planning to committ suicide that same day I found out I was pregnant, but once I found out I was pregnant, I found something that was worth living for. That is why I planned most of my kids. I love kids.

Look people........YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SO RUDE! I love all of my kids and they have a good home. What about the Duggar family? Ever heard of them? They have 17 kids and the wife is only 38! Think about that!

First, let me start by saying that I am glad you are a parent who is proud of and enjoys having multiple children. We could use more people with that mindset in some parts of the world.
Next, it is understandable your feelings about your husband, and you are not alone. Chances are there are many people in your area who have the same feeling. You should try and find a support group of Iraqi soldier spouses. Or if there isn't one, form one of your own. Not only would it be a great way to redirect your nervous energy, but you would help others gain the support that you and they need equally. And through this group, you could try and support the troops by sending them items from home to make them feel loved and keep their spirits up.
As for girl's names, I'm pretty partial to Sioban (Shao-bahn). Chevy for short.

Wow!!! 8 children and another one on the way!!! That is incredible but I think it's great. I have 3 children and I am having a 4th and I am happy about that.
My husband is also going to Iraq, but I do not know when exactly and I am scared and depressed about it too, so we have that in common. I really wish that this war was over because it is not fair that these innocents dads and husband is being taking away. I just hope that when he does go that he does come back in one piece.
I did not tell my children yet because I do not want them to worry but I do not know what I am going to do. It makes it even harder because I am pregnant with our 4th child. I am due Nov. 24th and I afraid that my husband will not be able to see him. So I understand how you feel.

Congratulations on your beautiful family. And sorry about all the rude little teenagers that use Yahoo Answers. So annoying! Anyway, check with your husband's base/post. They may have a support group, called OMBUDSMAN, or something similiar to help wives of deployed husbands cope with the deployment. they get together a few times a month, go on outings, etc.. I spent time in Iraq myself, and I knew back in my base in Japan, there were lots of support groups for the wives and families. Good luck!
My favorite name for a girl is Alicia Victoria

so you're saying you planned having a baby at 13? sure. ROFL...
BTW I looked at your previous post, and it seems in a matter of weeks...you've gone from 2 kids with two on the way to 8 and 1 on the way...someone is a little lonely I think and has a hell of an imagination

Jaimie is my fave girls name.
Sorry, no loved ones in Iraq. Don't know how to tell u to cope.
Hire some help, or have friends and family help.
Good luck to you. I think you should stop at #9.
If u can't cope with eight...nine will be worse and so on and so on.
