It Hasn’t Always Been Easy
Lauren says that part of her is in disbelief that she and her husband have been able to make it to this stage of their children’s development with no major hiccups. She remembers thinking, while they were infants, that if they were able to make it to the point where the children were potty-trained and no longer needed bottles and diapers, that the family would be more or less in the clear.

‘Very Grateful’
When Lauren describes her feelings now about her family and having sextuplets, she describes feeling ‘very grateful,’ having despaired for a while at potentially not being able to have children at all, let alone 6. She notes that, while not every day has been fun, it’s been a generally positive experience, and that her children have grown into fairly independent young people, who are well-behaved and like to have fun with their siblings and parents.
