I sure would hate to have 8 at one time. She is going to have to have some help for a while. Peggy, I could not beleive that. I don't know how they will do it. I just saw the announcement with the weights listed. WOW was what I thought. I thought having twin boys John & Tom with David about 5 yrs and Lisa two years old was a busy time. It astounds me now thinking about it, but it just seemed like that was what I was supposed to be doing at the time. Sure kept me slim, back then!!! Having three teen age boys in the eighties seemed harder to me!! Can you just imagine keeping eight of them straight, if they look alot alike? Before I cut the arm bands off my boys, I painted one's little finger nail with a light pink, yep my boy, but I wanted John to be John and Tom to be Tom for sure. They looked sooo much alike. There are differences you could see later but not at that point. I just can't imagine eight of them, hope they have a good friend's support group. I know some volunteer organizations some time choose to help in situations like this. I was around no family at all, in cold Ohio but my friends, other AF wives & neighbors were great. If they saw me hang out a load of diapers etc, they would get them in and fold them, and other nice things. They were great. I hope everything goes well with them and the babies stay healthy and all.
