Hello, I am new here! I scoured the internet for a message board for big families and stumbled here! 
My name is Nina.. and I'll just answer these Q's:
What's your first Name? Nina
What is your Spouse's/SO's Name? Ian is my boyfriend, Cori is my ex-husband and father of my 4 kids (lol, gets complicated)
Where are you? Phoenix, AZ
How old are you? 26
Do you/SO work outside the home? I stay home. I'm going to school online and will be a certified Teacher in a few years! My boyfriend does computer system/engineering type stuff and works outside the home but has flexibility and can always take time off for kids appointments and such or work from home if necessary. My ex-husband is military and currently stationed in Ft. Drum, but will be moving to Colorado soon to be closer to the kids!
How many children/ages? 4 with 1 on the way. Lily is 8, Kaya is 6, Zoey is almost 5, Matrim is 2, and our newest addition is due December 1st.
Do you come from a large family? Not really, my mom had 4 kids but they were really spread out, I mostly grew up with my younger brother.
Did you plan to have a large family? Not at all! lol But I've definitely enjoyed each blessing!
So yeah, that's the basics... for more back story- I was married at 17, we had 3 girls, then separated... then somehow got pregnant again (really, it takes only ONE time to get pregnant lol). So we considered for a moment rekindling our marriage.. it didn't work. We finally decided to just end it and move on. We're still good friends. I have been living with my boyfriend for a year now. My kids adore him and he adores them as well. I know our relationship is still young but we really feel happy about having a baby together! He's 34, so he's much more mature than my ex-husband. So nice to have someone who is interested in doing family activities, not just playing video games all day :/
So my life story is not perfect- but it feels perfect to me. We're a very happy loving family, and everyone is amicable.
Oy, I can't believe I just shared my life story lol
