Woman, 38, Gives Birth to 17th Baby & Shows Her House for Her Big Family

Nancy is a mother of 17 and shares parts of her life on her YouTube channel. The mother shared the birth story of her youngest child and gave a tour of her home as a family of 19.

Nancy, a mother to 17 children who shares her life on her YouTube channel Real Life Real Solutions, has given us a glimpse of what life looks like with a big family. The mother has eight girls and had her ninth boy boy on October 29, 2023. In the video introducing the newest addition to her pact, Nancy also spoke about the day she gave birth.

She admitted that she hoped for her son to arrive early and jokingly said that she did not want him to arrive on Halloween because she worried he would look like an alien. Fortunately, her son arrived shy of the holiday.

On the day Nancy went into labor, she had made last-minute plans to celebrate her one son's 16th birthday. Just as the guests were about to arrive, her water broke, but it was too late to cancel the party.

It all worked out because her son got a baby brother as a birthday present, and still had fun with his friends. This was now the second birthday that was shared among their 17 children.

The new addition to the family was well received. Nancy said most of her children adjusted well to the new baby, but the second youngest would sometimes sleep in the baby's bassinet and want to take back the role of being the baby in the family.

But since it was the first time one of their children had acted like that, Nancy said she and her husband made sure to give him all the hugs and kisses so that he did not feel left out. The intriguing part of being a family 19 is how Nancy and her husband run their household.

The mother admitted that many people were asking her for a house tour, and she finally delivered. The family of 19 lives in a big home that can accommodate all their children. The house opens up to a grand spiral staircase.

On the side of the stairs is the music room, where they have two working stations with computers, a piano, a three-seater couch, and one recliner. From there, we are taken to the kitchen with a big round table. Nancy clarified that she specifically wanted a round table because she did not feel too far from everyone during meals.

The kitchen is also equipped with two dishwashers, which has become a nice and convenient addition to the home. It also had a lot of counter space with bar stools at the end of the counters. The laundry room is not far from the kitchen. It is well organized with a washing machine and dryer as well as a changing table.

Nancy revealed that they had a changing station on every floor of the house. On the side side of the downstairs laundry room is a bathroom. The family also has a garage that barely fits their big family van.

They have three fridges in the garage where they keep their groceries and a cabinet station for the children to leave their coats and bags. The family room has a huge round couch that is massive enough to fit the whole family and is decorated with many pictures of the brood.

In the basement, Nancy and her husband created a daycare center equipped with different play stations for the kids. They even mounted in a jungle gym and many more sensory activities. The daycare also has a designated kitchen and bathroom.

The basement also has two bedrooms shared by four of her daughters. The upstairs area has another huge open area with one side used as a game room. It has arcade games and a variety of video games. On the other end, the family created a workout area packed with different gym equipment.

Upstairs is also where the boys' bedrooms and the master bedroom live, along with an office that the couple shares. As it stands, Nancy and her husband live with 12 children, as five of their other kids are married and have moved out of their home.

In addition to her 17 children, Nancy also has seven grandchildren. Her children might have moved out but still spend much time at their house. So, the family home is big enough to accommodate their growing brood.

Another question that Nancy receives is why she would want so many children. She reiterated, "People always ask me why I would want so many kids, or why I have so many kids, and honestly, I have the same question back to them. I don't understand why somebody wouldn't want so many kids."
