Dear diary,

I have been looking over my sholder for the past few weeks. I remember so good the years who went by when I was single, longing for the life I have now, as a wife, as a mother. I can't help it but feel so incredible blessed with Frederick and my seven childeren.

Nathan, our eldest is now 12 years old. Expecting him, holding him for the first time was such a special time. I had held so many baby's, al those nieces and nephews, especially those of Elianna. And then to hold your very own baby, so special.

David is now 11 years old, Rebecca 9, Esther 8, the twins Josiah and Johanna are 6 and my youngest, little Vivian is 3 years old. I enjoy my moments with her so much! And I mostly enjoy that all my childeren have a niece or nephew close in age. And most of them match with Elianna's childeren. So sweet to see them behaving almost like siblings instead of cousins.

Love, Fiona

Dear diary,

I just love to visit my sister or when she visits me. Especially because we have little girls again who love to play together. So lot's of moments for them to play and for me and Elianna to chat.

We have been chatting about getting pregant. Our girls are both our youngest. And we just turned 42 years old. We might have to face not getting pregnant anymore. I'll miss it but I'm enjoying my current 7 childeren.

Elianna would also love to get another one, her 20th child. But so far no luck for both me and her. Elianna's three eldest daughters are already married and having childeren themselfs. Elianna loves that. She still has baby's in her life. My eldest is only 10 years old. I have to wait for quite a while before I'll have grandchilderen.

Dear diary,

We have been blessed with another grandson, Raimundo. We now have 6 grandsons and still no granddauther. Marco is thrilled but I'm a bit sad about it. I want one of my girls to have their own girl. This little boy Raimundo is the son of my daughter Evangeline.

She was still in her pajamas relaxing for working so hard while pushing this little boy out. I told her she shouldn't feel quilty at all. She can take the rest she needs. I'll be there to help. And so does Chevin.

I visited Fiona recently. We have been talking a lot about baby's. Fiona her youngest is the same age as my youngest. And since we are twins, we are the same age, 42. I have grandchilderen coming in from left and right. But Fiona her eldest is still very young. I feel sorry for her. Because she married late she has to wait now again.

Fiona is the best aunt to my childeren. My eldest childeren spent so much time with her because she visited all the time before getting married, and even after. They invited her all the time to hold their baby's.

Dear diary,

We have been blessed with another little girl! Our fourth daughter! We named her Vivian Grace Edgar. Since I'm 40th years old this probably will be my last baby. I already thought my twins would be my last.

Ofcourse my sister Elianna was the first to visit and hold my little Vivian. She had herself a little girl too. I hope Lilias and Vivian will be good friends.

I'm so thankful to do these life-events together with Elianna.

Dear diary,

I'm 40th years old. For a long time I thought it would be hard to turn 40 year but part of me thinks it's alright for me to become 40th years old. I'm a mother to 18, almost 19, I'm grandmother to two already. It's about time. But I'm not the only one turning 40th. My twinsister, ofcourse, turns also 40th year.

Fiona has 6 childeren and they are much younger then my childeren. She won't be grandmother for quite a while. But we are both pregnant, probably both for the last time and we are enjoying every single moment of it together.

My daughter, Charlotte had some news. She is going on a mission! I'm very impressed by her and Lukas for becoming missionairs. We are praying daily for them to be safe and do their work.

Dear diary,

It has been a while. I have been buzy with my childeren. But I have good news. I'm expecting another little one. It has been quite a while since I had my youngest, the twins Josiah and Johanna. They are already so big! I actually tought it wouldn't happen anymore. And then the Lord blesses us with another little blessing to join our family. So thankful!

I'm just so thankful with my little family. We have three boys and three girls. This 7th baby will be a tiebreaker. So much fun!

Dear diary,

We have been blessed with twins. When the stick turned positive I didn't know it would be two baby's. But when I visisted the docter they told me I had two baby's in my belly. We all where very happy about that news. Now we are happy to welcome Johanna Faith Edgar and Josiah Matthew Edgar in our family. Once again we have an equel amount of boys and girls.

Ofcourse my twinsister Elianna was the first to visit. We now are twins and both have twins. Elianna has even two sets of twins. So special to watch my childeren grow up with the special bond between them that I have with my sister.

Dear diary,

We have been blessed with yet another positive pregnancytest. It had been a while since my latest baby and we all where thrilled with having another baby. We can't wait until baby Edgar is here.

I just love my little family with two boys and two girls. I'm curious if this new baby will be a boy or a girl, a little tiebreaker.

Nathan is courting someone special, David is in highschool, Rebecca is in elementary school and Esther is still home with me.
