It does sound like a lot doesn't it. What am I saying, it IS a lot Sometimes I look at my dc walking along together and think, 'wow, it does look like a few there I guess' and you've a couple more than me. 
Congratulations

Ah yes, but as dear friends of ours who have nine explained, it's the perfect number -- trinity squared has to be pretty blessed!
Congrats to you .... how I wish I could say the same!

And dh thinks it's hilarious that I do the same thing Lisa. I'll suddenly look up from my coffee at him and say, "OMGoodness! Wow! Can you believe all of these kids are ours!?"

I sit down in church and we take up two pews. I always think,"Where did all these kids come from?"

I'm glad to hear others do this too! LOL! Mary, that's funny about 'trinity squared', my MIL said we have a 'novena' of children now, to which my daughter quickly replied "mom, how about a whole DECADE!!"

oh my gosh....we do it all the time, and we only have FOUR! Plus, when you have kids RIGHT AWAY and SO CLOSE TOGETHER....it's esp. funny. Last year, we would marvel, "how did we get 4 little girls in 6.5 years of marriage!

I don't remember having *lightbulb* moments like this in the past, but I do now that I have 10. I find myself repeating to myself "I have 10 children" and counting them.
I guess I do it less now that the baby is getting older ( although only 8 mos :) Maybe it had/has something to do with childbirth.

Ha! We felt like that when we had number 3! Looked at the back row of the car all full of carseats. Yes, that was after having one-third of the children you have
