SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis! Courtney and Chris document life with their family on Instagram. PA REAL LIFE *** Real life Cheaper by the Dozen couple are expecting
their 12th baby - 12 years after celebrating their first
arrival
By Jessica Frank-Keyes, PA Real Life
A couple who are set to become the real-life version of the family in classic comedy
Cheaper by the Dozen are expecting their 12th baby - almost 12 years to the day since
they celebrated their first arrival.
Already parents to 11 children - all of whose names begin with the letter 'c' - Courtney
and Chris Rogers say their brood kept begging for "just one more" baby, so they could be
like the film starring Steve Martin and Kate Baker as a mum and dad of 12.
Now stay-at-home mum Courtney, 37, says she and her church pastor husband Chris, 33,
cannot wait to welcome their new arrival - due in March - into their home in Santa Fe
County, New Mexico, USA, adding: We're so excited as we had wanted 12.
"I'm very thankful that its happening, and the kids are stil l going to be close in age.
I love it and I love being a stay-at-home mom. The new baby will be here right around
when my oldest turns 12, in March next year.
One reason my kids wanted us to have 12 is because of the movie, Cheaper by the
Dozen. Theyve been wanting me to have another one and kept asking for, Just one
more, Mom, just one more.
While the couple, who home educate their brood, do not yet know if they are having a boy
or a girl, Courtney is confident the baby's name will begin with 'c' like their other children Clint, 11, Clay, 10, Cade, eight, Callie, eight, Cash, six, six -year-old twins Colt and Case,
Calena, four, Caydie, three, Coralee, two, and Caris, nine months.
We've been tossing some names around, but we usually keep it a se cret until the birth,
she laughed.
Courtney, who documents their busy lives on a 12-acre plot with their 140 animals,
including pigs, sheep, dogs and chickens, on her Instagram page,
@littlehouseinthehighdesert, says she did not start married life expect ing to have so many
children.
She said: When we got married, I was 24. Then we had an early pregnancy loss, so Clint
wasn't born until just before I turned 26.
At that point, I didnt think I was starting motherhood that early. I had no clue we'd have
this many.
I did want to have a big family, but it was quite a surprise to get here and, so far, have
everything working out as planned.
Were hoping to find out the sex of the baby in the first week of October. My husband
would like a girl - that way we'd be completely even with six boys and six girls.
But I would like another boy, because it's been so long since we've had a baby
boy. Either way, one of us will get our wish!
Courtney does have some worries about a possible tricky delivery as, afte r three
Caesareans, she can no longer opt for a vaginal birth, due to the risks to her and the
babys health.
She said: My youngest, Caris, had a scary beginning, so we're a little bit nervous, but we
also know we're going to have a different delivery plan this time around.
She was also nine days past her due date. We kept waiting and she just didn't want to
come."
Caris' birth was dramatic, as Courtney needed an emergency C -section, because her
daughter was in distress and doctors feared the tot was not getting enough oxygen.
After her birth, she spent 15 days in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU), where
medics warned her parents she could face developmental delays.
But, despite a challenging entrance to the world, Caris has defied expectations, proving to
be a happy, healthy addition to the family.
Courtney added: "This time we're going to have a scheduled C -section at around 36-37
weeks.
Despite worries about the delivery, Courtney loves being pregnant.
I've always felt fine during my pregnancies, she said.
I don't get morning sickness, I don't have a lot of pain and I can keep up.
"It's different for everyone, but my body usually takes pregnancy very well. We probably
wouldn't have had so many if not!
Now a dab hand at motherhood, Courtney never even asks the older children to help out
with the newer additions.
She said: Once you get to a certain number, the parenting doesn't really change.
"With the last few, we brought them home from the hospital and it was like they'd always
been there.
I still mainly care for the babies and they sleep in my room. I might get one of the older
kids to hold one of them while I'm finishing supper, but other than playing with them,
that's about all they do.
Still home schooling them all, the couple also hope to help the older children to make the
transition to online school or distance learning of some kind once the subjects get harder.
That way someone can teach them while I focus on the little ones' maths and reading,
Courtney explained.
Space remains their biggest concern with their ever-expanding family.
Courtney said: We have a 15-passenger van, but when we go on trips, it gets very
crowded and we usually have to pull a

Story from Jam Press (15 Years Hiccups)

Woman with hiccups that lasted 15 YEARS does three-year-long experiment on herself to finally make them stop

A woman has revealed how she undertook a three-year-long experiment on herself to help treat the chronic hiccups that had been plaguing her for over 15 years.

Emergency dispatcher Nicole Allard, 37, who now lives in Alaska, US, was called a "constipated pig" at school because of the strange noises she made as a teenager.

Although she would have periods where the hiccups would lessen, they never went away, with Nicole also suffering severe stomach pain that left her so breathless that she would have to go to hospital.

“All through high school, I was called a constipated pig, a baby seal getting clubbed, a pterodactyl," she told Jam Press.

“As I got older, I became so fed up with the pain.

“Sometimes the hiccups would be louder, sometimes quieter, sometimes so frequent I couldn’t catch my breath.

"At first, it was annoying but funny, then as it progressed I felt resigned.

"Sometimes I would get a little down but I was so used to them I didn’t feel it too much.

"I had a little anger but not red hot anger – more of a festering irritation."

The hiccups first began around the age of 15, when Nicole started to get frequent stomach pain.

They would last for hours at a time, day after day – sometimes settling down a little but always coming back.

The only reprieve she had was at night, when she was sleeping.

Nicole went to doctor after doctor and had test after test, but claims no one could find a cause or offer her any suitable treatments and often felt they dismissed her condition as “something minor caused by stress”.

She said: “I had hiccups pretty much all the time for 15 years. For the first five, I looked for help but didn’t get any answers.

“After that, I would try every now and again to get answers if I thought of something new.

"Then there was five
