Product Description
In Multiple Blessings, Kate Gosselin shares the gripping details of her rollercoaster ride of emotional highs and lows when she discovered she and her husband, Jon, would be expecting sextuplets while still basking in the light of their twin girls' toddlerhood. Strongly encouraged to consider selective reduction for the sake of both mother and babies, she and Jon instead decided to accept the extreme challenge God had handed them. After suffering the long and winding road of infertility, the young couple felt stressed but blessed as they fought valiantly to help their babies survive the fight for their lives. Kate reveals excerpts from her private journal as she describes the daily struggle to carry the babies for thirty weeks. In addition to their uphill medical battle, the family suffered many emotional setbacks such as the loss of Jon's job, forcing the pair to look to God as their sole provider and sustainer of life.P PAfter the miraculous birth, the couple coped with months of neonatal intensive care for their newborns as well as Kate's physical recovery from such complete and prolonged bed rest. Later as the entire family of ten finally arrived home reeling with exhaustion, they still managed to feed, bathe, clothe, and monitor the health of their fragile infants as a steady parade of necessary and helpful volunteers turned their home and family life into a public arena. pThe young family lived moment to moment at first, not knowing what each new day would bring and how they would survive on such depleted sleep, money, and emotional reserves. However, as the months progressed, they grew into the next stage of development, proudly letting go of yesterday and looking forward to a brighter and ever-changing tomorrow. Their small home was soon filled to capacity with six cribs, six bouncy seats, several changing tables, never-ending piles of laundry, tubs of colorful toys, stacks of diapers, cartons of formula, rows and rows of bottles, bibs and pacifiers, two triplet strollers, six car seats, and so on. Yes, life was hectic and cramped, but with each major milestone Jon and Kate rejoiced at the miracles that unfolded around them. The crew of six growing babies along with their proud big sisters, Madelyn and Cara, did their part to fill those rooms with squawking, squealing, laughing, and of course, a healthy dose of crying. Kate and Jon eventually came out of the fog of the first precarious two years feeling eternally grateful for the love and support of family, friends, community, and indeed a nation. More important, they felt the ever present hand of a faithful God upholding them and giving them just enough strength and courage to take one day at a time.

5 out of 5 stars Can't put it down!   January 8, 2009
I really wish this book was longer! I wanted to keep reading long after I finished the book. br /It's very well written and very interesting! Would recommend to anyone!


5 out of 5 stars Amazing book--loved it!!   January 8, 2009
I read a review where someone said if you've seen the show, that's pretty much all the book is about. I disagree. There were many details I'd been curious about that were in the book. I loved it. If you're not Christian, though, you probably won't like it, as they refer to scriptures and God quite a bit. That's something I really liked about it. The writing style is quite descriptive and beautifully told. It was very inspiring, especially to parents. I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it!


5 out of 5 stars Wisconsin   January 6, 2009
was very happy with the time it took to get my item. Only a few days. No problems at all.


5 out of 5 stars Big fan of the show.   January 6, 2009
I loved this book. They are such a great family, and the book was written very well. I liked that it had new information of their family from the very beginning. She spoke alot about her time in the hospital so it was nice to read how that all was. She also mentioned her family members alot more than on the show. If you watch the show you know how they are not really apart of it. As a Christian I also enjoyed all of the scriptures. It was definitely a spiritual book.


5 out of 5 stars Great!!!   January 6, 2009
Both my wife and I love the TV series, but even if you have never seen the show this would still be a great book. The hardships John and Kate have been through are amazing. To hear how they found comfort in the word of God is inspiring!!! I recommend this book to any looking for an inspirational read.
