So six kids under 3...in a 2 bedroom apartment and no family nearby.  Yowza!

That's quite amazing.

Wow that is nuts!! I hope they allow the sister to come and stay with them.

Aside from running away screaming, that is quite a miracle they have!  Not sure how they're going to manage 6 kids under 3 in a 2 bedroom apartment with no van.  Hopefully the community will read this story and provide them with some assistance - if nothing else, volunteers to come in to hold and feed the babies.  Wow!

They have 2 kids named Pios and Sam

Then they got Peter, Paul, Christian, and Adaeze.... Why not Mary?!

WOW!  Hopefully they'll have volunteers  from church or something to help them out!

lol @ Orange smoke. 

How overwhelming! No doubt they'll need good thoughts and prayers. 

Have any of you seen the show on TLC (I think) about the Minnesota Quads? They were spontaneous too. I cannot watch the show because they are 4 girls and they all fight constantly. It's too stressful to watch.

Um...I...well...

I was their nanny for their entire lives.

I know it looks like they fight all the time, and they do fight just like any other teenage siblings, but production ran for nearly 5 months and they edited that down to 3 hours worth of shows. I assure you that they are lovely girls.

WOW, What a small world!  I agree about the girls coming off as kind of nasty to each other, but always figured that was production like you said. I do find it funny that the brother lives in the garage (do I have that right or is it a cotage out back?) away from all the girls.

As for the family mentioned above. Wow just wow. Am I the only one who is bugged by the mom stressing they wanted a girl? I wonder if I am just overly sensitive to that, cause it ticked me off.

He doesn't live in the garage like they make it look like :-) It's just where he hangs out. He is very hands on and can fix anything, it just makes sense that he would spend a ton of time in there. He's a great kid. Really funny and sweet.

I see it more as her trying to justify the questions that people will inevitably ask about why they'd have a third child if they only have a two bedroom apartment. People are judgy and also most likely assume the quads are a result of fertility treatments and she's probably just a bit defensive about it.

Yikes!
