Well, there are 8 here, if that comforts you. I know a couple families with 8 kids, but I don't believe I've ever met any with 8 born in 12 years. And I actually know a family that has 12 children. Have you ever read Cheaper by the Dozen? It's a hilarious book by two kids (well, they were adults when they wrote the book) out of a family of 12 children...

Your Tom certainly looks interesting. Should his older sibling be a girl or boy, do you think? Or should we leave that to whoever claims it?
