A North Carolina mother-of-sixteen, who has spent 14 years of her life being pregnant, was over the moon when she received a piece of heartwarming news. The doting mom confessed that she hoped to reach the magical 20-kids milestone in the future.
Families come in all shapes and sizes and are special and extraordinarily beautiful in their distinct ways. Everyone's idea of a happy and prosperous household is different; some parents like keeping their family size small, while others prefer having a house full of little ones' cackles.
While parenthood is no easy feat, it can teach people life-altering, eye-opening lessons about life and the things that truly matter. Love and affection multiply when shared, and the family in today's story is a classic example of how the most challenging tasks can lead to the most heart-melting results.

Patty and Carlos Hernandez are not your average couple. They reside in North Carolina and have a large household comprising 18 members. Every day is filled with new challenges, surprises, and endless excitement for the family, and they hardly have a dull day.
The couple is doting parents to 16 children and runs a commercial cleaning business to sustain their family. The children's names begin with the letter "C" as a tribute to their hardworking and devoted dad, Carlos, 39.

Patty, 40, has spent 14 years of her life pregnant and has had children since 2018. She and Carlos have six sons and ten daughters — six of their kids are sets of twins, which runs in Carlos's family.
The gigantic brood includes Carlos Jr, 14; Christopher, 13; Carla, 11; Caitlyn, 11; Cristian, ten; Celeste, ten; Cristina, nine; Calvin, seven; Catherine, seven; Caroll, four; Caleb, five, Caroline, five, Camilla, four, Charlotte, three, Crystal, two, and Clayton, one.
Patty and Carlos welcomed baby Clayton in May 2021 and said they wouldn't rule out the possibility of having more kids. The Hernandez couple garnered popularity in 2019, but since then, they have added two more little ones into their family.

The then-mom-of-15 admitted that looking after so many kids could be challenging, but she was delighted and considered it a blessing. Patty revealed that after almost three months of her last pregnancy, she would conceive again and was always happy when she was pregnant.
The petite woman said she astounded people whenever they spotted her with her large brood, and many even asked her if they were all her children. In January 2019, the ecstatic mom gave a glimpse into her family's daily routine.
The Hernandez family's day started at 8 in the morning when Patty prepared a wholesome breakfast of cereal, waffles, or pancakes. Once breakfast concluded, the kids practiced Christian Devotional, which included praying, singing, and reading together.

Soon afterward, the school-going kids took the school bus and left, while Patty stayed home to complete her chores and tend to her little ones. The busy mother explained :
"I try to do everything while they are at school because that's when I have the most free time. If I have an appointment I take all of them with me."
The older children finished their homework at after-school study and got home before six. Then, the entire family sat down and had dinner at their sixteen-seater table, which included pasta, eggs, beans, or salad. After dinner, the kids said their prayers and played for a little while until it was time to sleep at 8:30 p.m.

But it seems that Patty and Carlos are not done adding to their large household because they are expecting their 17th child — a baby boy — with the delivery date set for March 2023.
The soon-to-be mother shared that she plans to reach the magical number 20 and have an even number of kids — ten boys and ten girls. Patty said she's very fertile and has placed her trust in God regarding the future. She told The Mirror:
"We always wanted a big family but never thought God would bless us this much."

Earlier, Patty revealed that she and Carlos wished to name their child Carter if he was a boy and Clair if she was a girl. The North Carolina resident said she wanted to continue the tradition of naming her kids with the letter "C" even in the future.
While the Hernandez couple never envisioned having so many kids, they revel in the joy of parenthood and are determined to keep going.
Since expanding their family, the devoted parents have changed their 16-seater vehicle and bought a 20-seater bus, which Patty uses to take the kids to school.

Despite their large household, the couple noted they don't stress about expenses and work hard to provide for their children. Per Patty, she and her husband have never used contraception. She expressed:
"I leave everything to God. If he wants us to conceive again, then let it be."
The pregnant woman revealed that she's often judged for her choices but doesn't pay heed to criticism and feels blessed for her family. The Hernandez family has a large five-bedroom home, where the older kids have bunk beds, and the little ones have a nursery with cribs.
According to Patty, she and Carlos spend almost £780 (approximately $895) weekly on food, mainly school lunches. The couple is hopeful that after their 17th child, they will be blessed with another one.
While growing their family has been a thrilling experience, it has also led to more housework for Patty, who said she's been training the older children to chip in and has assigned them their daily chores.
The woman noted that she does laundry four times a week, has a thousand clothes to wash, and spends nearly five hours folding them every two days. Despite the struggles and criticism, Patty and Carlos love their beautiful family and wouldn't have it any other way.
We hope the Hernandez family continues to dote on their adorable children and lead a happy, healthy, and beautiful life together. Don't forget to share this story with your loved ones.

Mom of eight, Chalise Smith, 50, is pregnant again — but this time it’s with her kid’s baby.
The Utah-based entertainment farmer is gearing up to give birth to her own grandchild in May as a favor for her second-oldest daughter, Kaitlyn Munoz, 24. Munoz suffers from endometriosis and an auto-immune disease called Sjögren’s syndrome, which has rendered her unable to safely conceive.
“I had two embryos implanted in September, and that has resulted in me now being pregnant with my granddaughter,” Smith told Mercury Press & Media. “I’m super excited to see my granddaughter for the first time.”
She offered to undergo IVF and serve as a surrogate for her daughter — who lives in El Paso, Texas, with her husband Miguel, 30, and their two-year-old son Callahan — after doctors informed Munoz that should wouldn’t be able to safely carry another child to term.
“In 2019, I was already struggling with infertility because of my endometriosis, and had been trying for three years to have children to no avail,” said Munoz.
At that time, she underwent for IVF treatments and became pregnant with Callahan.
Her pregnancy was going “really well” until she reached the 30-week mark and was diagnosed with Sjögren’s — a condition that causes the immune system to mistakenly attack healthy cells within the body. The disorder can cause blood clotting in pregnant women, and ultimately result in miscarriage, per research .
Munoz, who was also plagued with pleurisy inflammation in her lungs during gestation, was “incredibly lucky” to have carried Callahan to term. But she was devastated to learn that her childhood dream of bringing a sizable progeny of her own into the world would not easily come to pass.
“I was crushed,” the stay-at-home mom said of her diagnosis. “It’s always been my dream to have a big family, it’s been my dream to be a mother with lots of kids ever since I was a young girl.”
Equally distressed by her daughter’s dilemma, Smith privately began considering becoming her surrogate .
“I thought for a long time about how she wouldn’t be able to have any more children,” said Smith. “I kept my thoughts to myself while I made sure I wasn’t making an emotional decision to be a surrogate and knew it was the right thing to do.”
Then one day, almost serendipitously, she wowed her daughter with the gift of her womb .
“A few months after she told me [that she couldn’t have anymore children], I gave her a call and offered to be her surrogate,” Smith said of the fateful chat between her and Munoz. “She was in shock at the idea as she had just been sitting in her car waiting for her son to wake up wondering how she’d be able to have more children.”
“My call was like a moment of fate for both of us and the beginning of our journey,” she added.
And once Smith was sure that her husband Kyle, who is Munoz’s father, and Miguel were onboard with the unconventional ordeal, she began the IVF process — which, for a woman in her 50s, was no cake walk.
“With my age, I had to go through a lot of health checks before I could get the all-clear for becoming a surrogate,” she said of the process. But, thankfully, the doctors gave her and Munoz the green light to make a baby.
“I was so shocked when my mom offered to be my surrogate,” said Munoz. “She’s always been so supportive of what I want to do in life and my dreams of having a big family.”
And she was immediately confident that her mom would be cleared to carry her baby.
“I know that all of her pregnancies went perfectly and that she is extremely healthy,” said the millennial. “So I never doubted that there would be any issues with her being my surrogate.”
Smith is set to give birth to Munoz’s baby , a girl, next month.
“I think the highlight of the whole surrogacy experience will be seeing my daughter’s face light up as she welcomes her own daughter into the world alongside me,” said the expecting mom and grandmother.
“In my heart and soul, I just see this picture of having a beautiful girl for my daughter and her husband,” Smith added. “They’ve longed for this so much, to see the joy and love in their faces on their arrival will fill my heart.”

Your second pregnancy is often different than your first. You might show sooner, feel more tired, have stronger or more frequent back pains, and notice Braxton Hicks contractions earlier. Labor will likely be faster, but postpartum recovery could take longer. In spite of all the possible variables, because you've been through this before, you can anticipate and even prevent some symptoms. And if your first labor experience was disappointing, you can try a different birth plan this time.
So, you're pregnant with your second child? Congratulations! Now that you've already been through pregnancy, you probably have some idea of what to expect. But you're probably also wondering what might be different this time around.
You might have heard that your baby bump will pop earlier, you’ll feel kicks sooner, and your labor will go much faster during your second pregnancy – and there's actually some evidence suggesting all of these things may be true. As you may also assume, there are also a number of emotional differences you can anticipate when you bring home your new baby to meet their big sibling.
From second pregnancy symptoms to postpartum recovery and your mindset before and after birth, here’s what you may experience with your second pregnancy.
Be prepared to bust out your maternity clothes earlier: While your baby isn't growing any faster, you may very well find that your pregnant belly pops sooner than it did the first time. Most women don’t start showing until the second trimester during their first pregnancies, but their baby bumps will likely show in the first trimester for every subsequent pregnancy.
Why? Many women start showing earlier in a second pregnancy because the first go-round loosened the abdominal muscles, so they don't hold the pregnancy in quite as efficiently during second and future pregnancies. (For the same reason, you may also carry your baby a little lower this time.)
Every pregnancy is unique, so it's difficult to predict what your exact experience will be like. But here are a few common ways your second (or third or fourth) pregnancy might be different from your first.
Many women say they feel more fatigued in subsequent pregnancies than during their first. The little research that’s been done on the topic is inconsistent: Some studies suggest that women are significantly more tired the second time around, while others don’t.
If you're feeling flat-out exhausted, it's no surprise: With a child (or multiple kids) in the house, you have even less time to nap or just plain rest than you did the first time around. And you may be getting less pampering from your partner or family (who might be thinking pregnancy is old hat for you by now).
Try these tips to battle pregnancy fatigue:
Back pain tends to be more common with each subsequent pregnancy, particularly if you experienced back pain with your first (or previous) pregnancy.
Your abs may be to blame, since they support your core and back. During pregnancy, your expanding uterus weakens these muscles and moves your center of gravity forward, changing your posture and increasing the risk of back pain. If you weren’t able to re-strengthen your abdominal muscles after your last delivery, you’re especially at risk of back pain now. You’re also doing more running around, lifting, and bending with your older child, which can put additional stress on your back.
Strengthening your abs beginning now may prevent or lessen lower back pain as your pregnancy progresses. Find time to exercise your core whenever you can, and strengthen your back and hips, all of which may hopefully help ease your back pain. Always bend your knees and lift from a crouching position to minimize stress on your back. Don't lift anything heavier than 20 pounds. And consider a pregnancy belly band to provide comfort and compression to your abdominal muscles.
Here’s some good news if your breasts were especially sensitive and sore during your first pregnancy: They may not grow as large or feel as uncomfortable this time around. And if you’re still breastfeeding your firstborn child, you can continue to do so now that you’re pregnant again. Studies suggest that breastfeeding while pregnant is safe for most women and won’t increase the risk of miscarriage or preterm birth.
It's common for veteran moms to feel kicks a few weeks earlier than they did during their first pregnancy, possibly because they're familiar with the sensation. In fact, you may feel those first flutters at around 16 weeks of pregnancy, instead of closer
