Gray Times 8: Is That Great?

Join Mitchie, Shane and their 8 kids. Inspired by Jon and Kate Plus Eight.

This is just the Introduction. It's kinda interview-y.

Questions are bold.

Flashbacks or words with emphasis are italics

The Date is underlined

So Mitchie, Shane, is life hectic having sextuplets plus two more?

"You seriously asked that question?" Mitchie responds.

"It's hectic, yeah. Even more so when the paparazzi are after you and your possibly terrible parenting skills 24/7." Shane adds.

What's the average daily stress level for you Mitchie?

"On a scale of one to ten? About a million and one."

So tell us about your kids?

"Our oldest, Kendi Elizabeth is six years old. She looks a lot like Mitchie." Shane replied.

"Then come identical girls, Vanessa Briana, Emma Lee and Jordan Alyssa. Followed by fraternal boys, Trevor Shayn and Porter James. And then Audrey Gabrielle." Mitchie added.

"They are all four years old."

"Our youngest is Caly Lyn. She's six months."

Is that even possible to have both Identical and Fraternal kids in one…batch?

"Oh, it's possible. Not very likely, but possible." Shane answered.

Did you want that many kids?

"I didn't. He did."

Do you want any more?

"Yes." Shane answered quickly.

Mitchie glared at him for some time.

"I'm kidding, Mitch. I wouldn't make you go through that again." Shane said, referring to birthing multiples…or just birthing more kids.

Now before the clips, the question everyone wants answered, did you use in-vitro fertilization or anything like that?

"No." They said together.

"It was all 'us'." Shane added, winking.

Mitchie just sat there, a light blush tinting her face.

It is possible for sextuplets to be both fraternal and identical but no record has been found so far. It is slightly possible for them to be conceived without fertility assistance. So Smitchie is beating the odds!
