Matt Sparrow Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 WE ARE HAVING A BABY! sorry about the bad timing for this announcement, our thoughts and prayers go out to Kristina and her son. As long as I can remember, I've wanted Nine kids! I admit, that may have sounded a little crazy coming from a 12 year old, but that's how old I was when I decided I wanted 9 kids. Now that Baby #9 is on the way, I don't feel so crazy. In fact, I feel so lucky to have so many beautiful children to share my life with. I get to see life through 9 sets of eyes and for that I am truly blessed. This is the first place I thought about running to tell and no-one else knows so please don't post this on my FaceBook wall just yet . I don't want Bradie to find out! Is it too early to ask for name suggestions? I'd love to name him 'Quilton' if it's a boy. So far we have a...

mrsbishwit Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Matt, Congrats! Now you have enough for a baseball team (it does take 9, right?) think so, my DH always wanted 9 as well but I told him then he would have to carry the other 4, 5 was my limit, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisalnewman Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Shouldn't you have your own reality show??? Are you sure it is just 9? I had a good friend who just tried for one more and ended up with just 2 more. Well 10 would be a nice round number, or maybe 11. Just kidding. You both must be old pros at the entire process, but nonetheless enjoy and make sure you pamper that wife of yours. Congratulations, Lisa:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandra Darlington Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Congratulations to the Sparrow Family! I have 5 kids; all grown now. Bob 35, John 34, Nancy 32, Andrew 30 and Tim 22. I loved having the 5 of them, and the only thing better would have been another one or two. I guess my two grandchildren are filling that gap for me.

kennan100 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 LOL Matt! I named my daughter after my sisters. Susan Carol & Nancy Anne became Susan Annette. We call her II,, Susie II, Tootiefruity, Sweet Patootie Rooty, Tooterumpkin and anything else that comes to mind along those lines. She's 37 and answers to all of them!

quiltmonkey Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 So sweet, Matt! You have a home so full of love that another baby will make it even more full of love (and diapers). Those kids of yours get lots of practice raising their younger siblings. I am the eldest of 5 girls (no boys...dad gave up after #5) and I loved my full house growing up!

Busy Quilting Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 You must both be great parents. An Aside Matt - Quilton in Australia is a brand of toilet paper!!!! But I like the idea of calling each of the boys by their middle names. Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
