Her other kids were thrilled when she brought 8lbs 4oz newborn baby Bonnie back to the family's ten-bedroom converted care home
Sue, 43, welcomed Bonnie Raye into her king-sized clan after a 12-minute labour.
She said: “I thought I’d need more than gas and air but there wasn’t any time.” Her other kids were thrilled when she brought 8lb 4oz Bonnie back to the family’s ten-bedroom converted care home in Morecambe, Lancs.
Sue said: “They were all fighting over the first cuddle. It’s such a lovely moment when you bring a newborn home and the others are all lined up ready to hold her.” Her baker husband Noel, 47, said: “I don’t think anyone sets out thinking they’ll have 21 children. We thought we’d have three."

The couple, who support themselves with their bakery and claim only child benefit, had their first baby when Sue was just 14.
That ain’t dough he’s makin’. He is makin’ bacon and cranking out litters.
Sounds good to me. They are doing not only their part, but much more than their part to counter the birthing rate of their “migrant” invading force.
I’m surprised he didn’t fall in and disappear after about the 12th ...
That’s quite a lot.
We have 13 children. The toughest thing is putting them all through college. Anyway, we just celebrated our youngest daughter’s 30th birthday a couple of days ago, so that’s done.
Also we now have 19 grandchildren. But not a single great-grandchild. They just aren’t doing their jobs.
Best wishes to all of them.
Didn’t John and Charles Wesley”s Mother have 23 children? I think that is right but maybe my memory is bad.
Maybe he’s a lot better endowed than you.
19. Nine died as infants.
They call them Kegel exercises. I’d imagine she’s an expert by now.
It’s not hard putting them through college if your income and savings are so low that they get government grants for everything.
Ours go to community college. If they don’t join the military (2 of 5 so far, with the 5th on the verge), they have enough savings to pay for a couple of years at the local state university.
I can’t be the only person who thought about Groucho Marx...
Thanks.
My maternal Grandmother had 13. They lost their first one as a toddler but raised the other 12 to adulthood.
My mother said her last words as she was dying was of that baby they lost.
You don’t think a woman should have sex with her husband once every 18 months or so?
Your grandmother’s family must have enjoyed good health and good fortune. Even today, getting 13 children to adulthood is an achievement, although they’re more likely to die in a teenage auto accident than from measles as a toddler.
I have ten children. Oldest is 27, youngest is 6.
Sadly FAR TOO FEW of these BRAVE WOMEN - women who are willing to given virtually anything for their kids to have a CIVILIZED COUNTRY to live in.
These poor kids...because of people UNLIKE her mom, things will be very ‘colorful’ as they grow up.
LOL - I hadn’t seen that clip.
What is that old saying about a clown car?
