Nancy barely had time to settle into life with her 16th baby when she got the surprise of a lifetime—she’s pregnant again! Just two months after welcoming her youngest, this supermom is now expecting baby #17.
She and her husband have built a life full of love (and a whole lot of diapers) with their growing family. Soon, they’ll be balancing the chaos of nine boys and eight girls—plus one more on the way!
With a house that’s constantly evolving to fit their expanding crew, Nancy and her husband have remodeled nearly every room. They even transformed their backyard into a kid-friendly paradise, complete with a playhouse and slide.
Nancy shares her family’s adventures on YouTube through her channel Real Mom Real Solutions, where she has over 44,000 subscribers. Naturally, people are curious—how does she manage it all? And, most importantly, why does she have so many kids?
Her answer is simple: “I don’t understand why someone wouldn’t want this many kids,” she says in her latest video, Pregnant with 17th Baby.
“I have 16—almost 17—different children, and every one of them is so unique. They bring so much joy! I just can’t imagine life without any of them. I look at my baby and think, ‘Would I want another one of him?’ Absolutely, yes.”
Among her youngest are four-year-old Porscha, two-year-old Nancy, and one-year-old Beckett. Talking about her baby boy, she gushes, “He’s the cutest, most joyful baby ever! He’s so curious and loves playing with toys.”
Of course, having a huge family means grocery shopping is a mission. Every supermarket trip turns into a spectacle, with strangers marveling at her overflowing cart.
“People always ask, ‘What are you stocking up for? The whole year?’ And I just laugh and say, ‘No, just a week!’” she shares.
But Nancy isn’t alone in her love for big families. Other moms flooded her comment section with support.
“Congrats!! I’m a mom of 9 sons and 7 daughters. Big families are the best!” one user wrote.
Another chimed in, “I’m 38 and pregnant with my 16th! Children are a blessing from the Lord.”
Some even shared their struggles: “I’ve been trying to get pregnant for over seven years. I’m 34 now and still hoping for my first baby. You are truly blessed.”
One person reminisced about an even bigger family: “Back in the 1960s, I went to school with a classmate who had 24 siblings! If you want a big family, that’s between you, your husband, and God—everyone else should mind their business!”
With baby #17 on the way, Nancy and her husband are proving that, for them, there’s no such thing as too many kids.
