That is pretty insane. How did people have so many kids back then seemingly so easily when we are dying to just have the first one!! Is it b/c they started when they were about 17??

My great grandmother had 19 children... My grandmother had 7, my mom would have had 5 (I only have a brother). My whole damn family is so fertile, except me..

Mine too, if she wasn't off the deepend before all the kids, she definitely was afterward. 2 of them died swimming in a lake when they were 9 and 10, and she lost it. I do think it's partially because they started younger.

Missed it!

I hadn't gone back to read my post, but once I read this I figured it had to be from my post.
I just can't even imagine!
Seriously, now let's here your gmama's story...how old was she when she had them, etc. TYVM

YOWZA!
BTW: It's really nice to see you here. I used to lurk on Pets right around the time when Jake first came home, so I remember you.
