Hi Ladies!
I am a member of another PR but thought I'd introduce myself here, I always like more JM friends. A little bit about me.

My name is Mary and I'm almost 35 and my DH is Andy and he is almost 33. We have 7 great kids, they are 9,7,4,3,2,14 months, and 3 months. We are a homeschooling family as well. We live on a farm and grow and raise tons of our own food. We are huge gardeners and are enjoying a wonderful lettuce and spinich crop right now. This fall we will harvest about 1000 potatoes. We grow every vegetable that will grow in our area in our garden. We do lots of canning and freezing in the fall. We have steers to butcher this fall and will probably have about 1000 lbs of them.

We are a Christian family and we let God determine our family size, so therefore we use no birth control. I'm nursing our littlest one and also formula feeding him. So I have yet to get a period after having him. He was born March 30th. I started charting about 3 weeks ago just to see if I was ovulating yet or not, and mainly just because I'm curious . We are hoping to have more children, but would like just a little break. We currently have 4 in diapers, all cloth. We don't really TTC, we just enjoy our marriage and leave the rest to God.

Wow, I guess I wrote quite a bit! Now you know a little bit about me, so tell me a little bit about you!

Welcome Mary! I'm Alice and I'm 22 and married to Matt who is 28. We've been married for 2.5 years and are on month 10 of TTC our first child. Hope you stick around. There are some very knowledgable ladies around if you have any questions. Will you be sharing an online chart with us?

Hi Mary. Glad to have you over here! There are a few gals over here with bigger families. I like to think I have a big family but I guess it depends on who I compare myself to. LOL. We have a nice variety of ladies here which I like. So did you chart with your others?

There's always room for one more!!!

Sounds like you've got yourself one busy life!! It must be wonderful having been blessed so many times!

I'm Nikki (34) DH is Danny (31). We will have been together for 10 years this December. We have been TTC our first child for longer than I care to remember. This is our 4th cycle of charting and such. Hopefully we won't be "Trying" too much longer.

Yes! It gives us something to do while we're all waiting for our eggs to pop out!
