Woman Pregnant with 14th Child Will Keep Going  Until She Has Twins (Thank 
God for free medical  care!)


 
Sarah Foss, 39, got  pregnant at age 16 and was so traumatized by the 
birth, she swore off kids  for another 10 years. After having her second child in 
1996, Foss has  gotten pregnant every year since then. Now Foss is pregnant 
with her 14th  child and vows to keep her OB-GYN busy, until he places a 
set of twins in  her arms. 
The Derby, UK, "mum" says, "All I've ever wanted is twins or triplets.  
It's my biggest wish, and I'm going to keep trying until I do it. It would  be 
fantastic. In fact, I won't stop trying until I've done it. I love  having 
babies - it's the most wonderful thing in the world."

Foss  swears that her children are not a bother at all. She and her 
longtime  live-in partner, Stephen Smith, 40, all live in a three bedroom house.  
Smith works as a canal boat builder and Foss is a stay-at-home mom but  
insists that they make ends meet by watching every penny that comes in to  the 
household. 

Belt-tightening is not an easy feat in the  Foss-Smith household. Each week 
the couple averages $1,000 on groceries  alone--32 loaves of bread, 75 
pounds of potatoes, 126 pints of milk, 36  rolls of toilet paper, three large 
boxes of detergent, eight boxes of  cereal.

The busy mom is also very anal about keeping a spotless  home. So every day 
Foss gets up at 4 a.m. to make sure her family is not  viewed by the 
neighbors as "living in a pigsty and behaving as low-life  scroungers who beg off 
the state."

The couple's children sleep in  movable bunkbeds and cots, so that they can 
change them around at bedtime.  Two of her children sleep on an airbed. 
Foss says, that her household is  "a squash and a squeeze, but it's cozy. It's 
home."  
Just  in case you're wondering what her children's names are (from youngest 
to  the oldest):

Patrick named after Sara's grandmother's surname of  Patrick 
Stephen -- named after his father 
Malachai named after a character in the horror film, Children  of the Corn 
Peppermint named after mints she craved  during pregnancy 
Echo named after a group of eco-campaigners  who Stephen met during a job 
at work 
Eli named after another character in the  film, Children of the Corn 
Rogue named after a character in the film, X-Men 
Frodo named after a hobbit in the film, The  Lord of the Rings(my personal 
favorite!) 
Morpheus named after a character in film, The  Matrix
Artemis named after a book character, Artemis  Fowl 
Blackbird named after a gathering of blackbirds which flew onto  Sara's 
lawn (I would kill my parents for naming me  this.) 
Baudelaire named after the Baudelaire orphans  which featured in Lemony 
Snicket's film, A Series of Unfortunate  Events 
Voorhees named after serial killer,  Jason Voorhees in the horror movie, 
Friday The 13th 
Thank god that  there is a huge supply of shitty movies so that they can 
continue to find  names for their  progeny.
