Jon & Kate Plus 8 [#3]: Because we really just want what is best for the children.



Jon & Kate plus 8 is a reality show that airs on TLC about the life of Jon & Kate Gosselin, who live in eastern PA, and their children. Jon and Kate met a little over ten years ago and after getting married in the Summer of 1999 decided that they wanted a family. Because Kate has PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) they needed the help of a fertility doctor to get pregnant. It actually only took them two cycles to get pregnant with their twins - Cara Nicole & Madelyn Kate - who were born in October 2000. When the girls were around 2 1/2 years old Kate decided that she wanted to have "just one more" but Jon wasn't convinced. After a rough experience for both of them and praying about it a lot John had finally decided that he wanted another child as well. So Jon and Kate went back to the fertility doctor for help to get pregnant again. The August cycle failed but when they tried again in October it worked - and worked better then they ever could imagine. When they were at their initial ultrasound when Kate was about 5 weeks along they discovered that she was carrying 6 children. Completely opposed to reduction they decided, albeit scared, that they were going to do this. After a particularly rough pregnancy - Alexis Faith, Hannah Joy, Leah Hope, Collin Thomas, Aaden Jonathon, and Joel Kevin - were born on May 10, 2004. Nowadays Jon and Kate are busy raising 8 year old twins and 4 year old sextuplets and capturing it on film for all of us to see.

After doing two specials with the Discovery Health Network - Surviving Sextuplets and Twins and Surviving Sextuplets and Twins: One Year Later - Jon and Kate agreed with do a series. Jon & Kate Plus 8 began airing on Discovery Health in April 2007 and switched over to TLC later that year. They are filming new episodes all the time.

Thanks for the new thread!

I just caught the new episode, and wow it was awesome. I'm always a sucker for those St. Jude commercials, so an ep where J&K go is an invitation for a cry. But it was really sweet to see the kids pick out the presents for other kids and to see the sick kids.

Last nights episode was sooo good. I almost teared up a few times. It was definitely cute to see the kids pick out presents for others - I agree. And I love that they got to see Miss Bev again! That's awesome.

Last night's episode was great! When they were done with the sick kids and went to see all their healthy kids, I almost cried. I don't know why.

Anyone else think we need a list of fans?

You could put me on the fan list too, if you start one.

I might be seeing Kate tonight! I'm gonna try to make it out to her book signing in Lehigh Valley. It's from 6:30-9pm and I don't think I'll be getting there until 7 though so idk. :/

No! My friend had to babysit until 6:30 so we got there late and it was wayyyy crowded and we didn't get it. But I did take a video of her back through the window. LOL.
