Canceled? One can only hope!

For now, it doesn't seem that Raising Sextuplets is going to be back on the air. According to We TV, it isn't on the schedule.

Maybe everyone was as annoyed as I was with the stupidity of it all!

Recap: 7/16 Dawn of the Terrible Twos Times Six!

The jist of this episode is that the Masches give too many NOs to their kids and it will be ineffective. Yelling will upset the kids and they were told when they discipline their kids, that they don't show too much affection afterwards because the kids will equate misbehaving with love- if that isn't twisted.

While I think it was valuable for them to have this love fest session, does it really make for good TV? And shouldn't ALL the caregivers been in on it so they could be consistent?

The Masches explained their parenting styles and then a 17 year old cousin came over to babysit. Chaos.

They've got so many crappy things in their no grass yard that Blake fell and jammed one of his baby teeth into his adult tooth. And they have to pull it- at least that is what Jenn says (when they get to the doctor, they just have to find OUT if it really did. If they didn't have their crap all over the place.... I think they have too many dangerous things around the kids.

So the cousin takes care of the kids while Blake gets his tooth pulled or whatever. Chaos.

Over drama. No tooth pull. Jenn had been praying and her prayers were answered. Woopie. I swear BryBry is GAY. But they kept his chipped tooth.

Aunt Babs came over to help teach them swim. Woopie.

Finally, they are on Inside Edition.... Let the Major Pimping Begin!

Then they discipline the kids, give them baths, and eat one more time at the baby table. They are going to get the kids at a regular table. then they brought in this dark wood, leatherette chair deal. Is that practical for kids? Really? I smell riches coming on for this family. Gosselins part two!

And DAMN..... they are two years old-- TWO and they are still on BOTTLES. WTF????? I am beginning to think they are mentally slow. And the day they put them in less restrictive chairs, they decide to serve pizza. DUH!

And I am sick, sick, sick of hearing Jenn BITCH about her husband's weight. Yes, significant others should be concerned about each other, but STFU, OK? Don't berate him for having one piece of pizza. Why don't you take care of that nasty assed pocked face you have and your witch nose?

Brybry goes to the Dr. and he's gone from 242 at the beginning to 249. Wow.

The kids ran around with the grandparents. Whoopie.

Recap: 7/9 Beach Babies

This time around they have a date night and Jenn trains for a marathon.

The ep starts with the kids getting speech therapy. Seems they jabber with each other but not 'real' words. Bottle time. More problems getting the kids to sleep. It looks like this episode was made before Blake's big bed came around. More out of order editing....

Grams brings over a bouncy house from Little Tykes-- a freebie I am sure.

Then Jenn blabs about training......and about how the kids were misbehaving. So they broke out the food. (Way to compensate). they showed the grocery store-- Bashaus... more free food. She took two kids to the store and when they started screaming, she gave them food. (Way to compensate again.)

Jenn brought out the O word-- yes, "food without chemicals" then ORGANIC. "Sure it costs a little more but it's worth it." Oh dear, another diva in the making.

Jenn works, Jenn reads. Bryan's aunt Barb comes to help. Jenn goes running. More family came over. The kids ate.

Bryan and Jenn went out for the night. Jenn ragged on Bryan for eating dessert. He wanted to feed her a little and she wouldn't let him. Then she threw salt all over the dessert so Bry wouldn't eat it. What a bitch! She said she's into destroying what tempts you. Scary words.

Bryan works out the next days. He has more weight loss.

They go to CA for the marathon. They go on a ride with the kids in a pedicab. Bryan said that he was afraid the kid would jump out, go under the bar to the pier and jump in the water. He said he would have to go after the kid but he didn't want to because the water was cold. My teenager just said, "You shouldn't be worried about the water being cold!!!"

Jenn doesn't wear her wedding ring because her fingers are too skinny. She said she was shopping for a new one. (Already spending the kid's money!)

Finally, Jenn runs. It is supposed to take 2-2hours 10 min. She's one of the first through. Whoopie.

Recap: 7/2 Christmas Chaos

Yes-- I am behind-- or maybe I am just procrastinating. This show is just boring.

Today they are shilling Christmas and riding the Polar Express.

I think Jenn's voice just gets on my nerves. Have I ever mentioned that?

So they went through a recap of what the kid's personalities are like. Do we really need this? They've been a series for what, a month? Let the kids personalities shine! Don't spoon feed us!

First off, the kids are crabby so they get a nap. Jenn recaps that she has to go to work and she's tired. Let's move on from the theme, shall we? Brybry wants to take a nap and bitches about cleaning. But hey! They clean and their family cleans-- not a NANNY.

Then the kdis are up playing..... and Bry makes his son cry... because he is rough with them. Jenn just doesn't understand him (Sounds like JON!!!)

Jenn goes into reinforcing gender stereotypes by saying boys are rough and girls are gentle. You can't have a rough girl or gentle boy?

Blake doesn't stay in his crib and chaos ensues. (Get the kid to stay in or take away the toys!)
Blake creates a disturbance for the other kids. They should all be in regular beds by now.

The family comes over to "wrangle" the kids and they all go to find a tree- except for the sick child. (See, you don't have to take your kids shopping when they are sick, Katie Gosselin!)

And here we go with the freebies and product endorsement. They go to a military based tree store (yes really) and the staged photos begin. The get a pic of everyone together.....

They set up the tree in the house and decorate it. Jenn gets all OCD-Kate on getting the tree straight. Whatever. The more Brybry talks, the more I think he is a suppressed gay man.

Then they cut the kid's hair. Or at least one of them. Then they try to decorate. Jenn wasn't hot on the idea of duct taping the lights to the tree. Gee. What a brilliant idea, Bry.

So they go baptize the kids and Bry has the Hitler haircut in the confessional talk. Then they do the family Christmas card. Bryan swears he hates getting his picture taken but his attention whore's actions speak otherwise.

Jenn's scratchy voice is annoying.

Next ep----

The Today Show visited the family. Still Bryan says he doesn't like this stuff. (Why do you have a show?) They get their kids up and admit it is horrible to get the kids up so early. But they do it anyway (who are they to say no?)

Afterwards, they go shopping in Vegas--- with the kids. Bryan got a really nasty hair cut and he goes to school where U of Phoenix gets a heaping helping of product placement.

They go shopping at, yes Gymboree! Jenn says they got "great deals". I am SURE they got a price break of FREE.

At one point there were only four kids present. Then Jenn went for clothes at... you guessed it! The Loft! (For those of you who don't know...... Kate Gosselin shops both those places.)

In the same breath of shopping for so many clothes, they say the garage project on hold because of money. Gee, I really do think the clothes are free. Then they talk about how quickly it could all be done-- I believe they are shilling for a free garage makeover.

They move the disturber, Blake into a big boy bed. Bryan reinforces gender stereotypes by saying women can't handle power tools. He IS a tool.

They roadtrip to see Santa in Williams, AZ. (Free trip). They pawned nighttime duty off on the grandparents. Bry was slick and told Grams, "If the bed's a'rockin' don't come a'knockin'. WTF?

They play out in the snow. Then they go tubing....then they go on the Polar Express to see Santa....

Recap: Extreme Makeover: Masche Style

In this episode, the home improvement is still going on (although it has never been fully explained) and Jen is getting a tummy tuck with an option for FREE breast augementation. Luckily, Brybry's mommy works at the office that will perform the procedure, so again, they keep the shilling in the family.

The doctor determines he can fix it all with the help of C cup implants. The kids are getting in trouble throwing toys in the pool. Again, Jen has a lot of help. Including her sister in law, also named Jen. (Perhaps I should find a way to distinguish them...)

Again, there is NO ROOM in their backyard and NO GRASS. Only had concrete. Ew.ew.ew. I am impressed they have a good fence around the pool.

They are getting 500 square feet for the kids to play safely. I am impressed that they have a LOT of adult supervision around that doesn't include the crew members (aka Kate).

Jenny takes them to her presurgery appointment with help from Bry in dressing and no one in taking them to her appointment. (Eat that Kate- Jenny said it is "almost" impossible) But then again, she is friendly with the staff. The doctor's wife is a physician's asssistant and Jenny's friend.

Jenny will not have the kids the first week- her mom will have them, but she will have them back in her life aftewards. The implant company (still unnamed) donated the implants. She used to be a C. She debates between 400 cc and 450 cc implants.

Bryan's gran said she should get what she wants because normally you just have to go with what "God gives you". Bryan wants her to get 500 cc.

Havasu Surgery Center got a huge product placement the day of the surgery. She decided to go with 400 cc. Then the drama of her going to the surgery.

Then the gross surgery pics. Breast implants went well. Her tummy tuck went oddly because she had thin skin. and I just about puked. During the surgery, the parents took care of the kids as did the sister.

Meanwhile the kids are guest of honor at a fundraiser for a guy who is battling a brain tumor.

Jenny feels like a princess at a friend's house- the doctor's house. She does too much and doesn't drink water, so she may end up in the hospital.

The kids are prostituted (YES!! The first usage!!!) as an attraction at the fundraiser...Jenny has a filthy dog in the bed with her while healing....

At two weeks she goes back to the doctor. She still has swelling. But she is ready for the holidays. They go to Bill and Laura's house (BryBry's parents). All family members from both sides are invited. Women cook, men watch kids.

Then they talk about being thankful and eating.

Make up Recap: House Remodel and Halloween

They are really like J & K. Remodeling the house- (at least they seem to be doing it themselves).

Jen is all pissed because the only green thing on their property a 30 ft tree needs to go so they can remodel. Jen went back to work to pay for the remodel (must have been before the show money started coming in).

While she's busy whining about missing the kids, let me just say she has some big assed teeth.
So she goes back to work. And the work at home piles up. She has a good support system- granny and a friend. Paid or not? You be the judge.

Honestly, granny was way more exciting than the Masches. Jen's incessant narration sucks. Annoying all the way.

Pink eye at the hostpital- hopefully she doesnt take it home. She calls her kids while dad is at home with the kids. Wow. Novel idea-- a dad that stays at HOME with the kids.

Jen singing sucked too. Too sweetisweet for me.

Jen doesnt think men were built to be at home for the babies. Nice to see her reinforce sexist roles..... the churches will be calling her soon.

She spent an awful lot of time on the phone. Will she get fired? Doesn't matter. She has a SHOW now...

I will say after she got home at 4am and got a couple hours sleep before the kids got up... that is HARD.

Again with the filming of private parts as Jen changes diapers. Couldn't they BLUR IT OUT???? Do we really need to see that?

Then they bitched about who does the most work-- didnt we see that in the first episode? Sounds like divorce is on the horizon.

Back to the tree.... they are getting a crane company to move the tree. I hate their homes... No grass. Just pebbles in the back yard. And a damn ugly fence. Seems like a battle ground, not a home.

The tree was moved and the kids got wet and dirty-- and again with the showing of the privates. Do you parents not realize what pervs are out there? And at any time they can send those pictures all over the net. Stupid parents.

Finally they are getting rid of part of the fence...... Of course through this whole thing, Brian's brother brings in his equipment- more plugs for family members.

After the commercial break, they bring in "extra help". Jen's friend is sharing their nanny with her (Sounds like the angel Beth was to Kate). Supposedly this is because they both work.

Now Jen is freed up to train for a marathon or two. (Spas are to Kate as Marathons are to Jen- remember that).

Jen internet shops for Halloween costumes. Whatever happened to just making them?

Did I say how mind numbing this show is? While I'm bored, Jen and BriBri don't see each other very much-- sound familiar?

Family friend Jacquiline (however you spell it ) is the new Carla. She's there to "help out". The carved pumpkins, turned out the light and cheered.

The next day, the Masches argued about carving more pumpkins..... is this really entertainment?

Then it is time for his weighin-- and he lost 8 lbs and his feel good talk with the doctor. He cheated- icecream dots, popcorn, hamburger and three beers. Didn't keep his documentation.

Back at the house...... Jen chastised him. (Yelling is to Kate as Chastising is to Jen)

So they scream about helping out. Someone named Sherry is helping her. "We can't function as a family if we're not OK." Words to live by.

Brian doesn't feel like a priority. "If we aren't good for each other and our relationship isn't healthy, we can't be good". Jen wants Bri to support her. (Sounds like marriage issues.)

So the costumes come. If they have to have Jen go back to work to pay for a house remodel, how can they spend money on costumes..... oh yeah, the TLC paycheck.

So they get ready to go-- Jamie (Jen's sis) helps the kids. they go trick or treating. Whoopie.

Then "Brian and I are together as a team taking on the same adventure". Well, well. Let's see how long that lasts. Famous last words. Cue cheesy song........ and end.

6/25 Here we go! Jenn Masche is following in Kate Gosselin's footsteps.

First, Kate Gosselin got her tummy tuck. Now Jenny is getting plastic surgery.

Making Over Mom
Jenny may have lost her pregnancy weight, but having six babies has done a number on her body. After 18 months, she's ready to reverse the damage through plastic surgery. The problem is, between husband Bryan, her parents and her in-laws, everyone has an opinion about Jenny's plans to go under the knife. She decides to do it her way, but complications during surgery create unexpected anxiety. And after surgery, Jenny just wants to get back to the babies, which jeopardizes her recovery. Her mom, Sue, comes to the rescue, and the extended family all finally joins together for a true Thanksgiving!

6/18 Trees and Baby Bees

Bear with me- my DVR didn't record this ep. You'll get a recap in a couple of days when it airs again. ;)

It seems the episode below didn't air and it was about Halloween. I will put the recap up next Thursday evening.

Trees and Baby Bees
When the Masches first bought their three-bedroom house, they never realized they would outgrow it so fast. But with sextuplets in the mix, the house is bursting at the seams! After Grandpa Bill offers the services of his construction company for the remodel, they find out Jenny's beloved big tree in the front yard is blocking the way of the addition. She's determined to somehow save it, but Bryan thinks she's crazy. How are they ever going to move a 30-foot tree? And in the midst of the remodeling chaos, Halloween comes and Jenny's determined to celebrate. But once again, she and Bryan don't see eye to eye-and costuming the six babies for trick-or-treating becomes a serious challenge.

Funny Blog about how the Masches will be just like the Gs

You must read Parental Guidance: Eric Ruhalter. Highlights below.

They were confronted, of course, with questions: 'What are you nuts?!'.... The Masches are going through with it anyway on account of "They're not going to be like them." Truth is, I don't think the Gosselins thought they were going to be like the Gosselins either. I think it just happens....

Furthermore, they should watch their mouths. They're "not going to be like them"? They're already fueling the fire. They're God-fearing Christians incapable of such acts? We'll see about that. Truth is, and by now everyone should know, you have to be a fool to get involved in one of these shows. You do that and suddenly it's the job of thousands and thousands of people to dig up dirt on you to make your story more interesting to the public that finds tremendous thrills in seeing other people fail....

If the husband drops the kids off with someone while he and his wife go out, the headlines will read:BRYAN SEXES UP BABYSITTERIf one of them gets their picture coming out of the pharmacy it'll be :SEX AND DRUGS!...


Surely they're not giving any thought to the idea that maybe their children are interested in privacy as they grow up. In 10 years they might be at a high school party that gets shut down for underage drinking. There could be dozens of offending teenagers, but only the Masches' names will make it into the national news.

I certainly hope that some of the cash, goods and services lavished upon their parents will be socked away for the kids and won't just be spent on cosmetic surgery and drugs and extravagant gifts for their extramarital lovers like much of America is hoping....

6/11 Raising Sextuplets Series Premiere

OMG Sextuplets!
(I will not be writing detailed notes here. This special has aired several times- just the highlights)

They start the special off by telling the story of their lives. They got married six months after meeting. Jenny always wanted to be a mom. Pregnant, miscarriage, pregnant, miscarriage. She considered this infertility after three years. Doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I have a personal issue with this, coming from a line of women who have had multiple miscarriages before they’ve had viable pregnancies. Everyone just wants instant gratification.
So she had IUI- Intrauterine Insemination. And found out a couple weeks later they were having multiples. All six. One in a million chance so she says. And Bryan said so eloquently “they took my stuff and it was like a turkey baster and they just squirted it up there.” (Complete with hand gestures)

So they went through the whole nine months worrying. Got through with the babies doing well. She gets bed rest at least by 28 weeks. So she could have up to 12 weeks in bed in a hospital. What a bill. I wonder if they will pay the hospital back with the money from their new show.
At the last minute, she gets a blood clot they have to take care of. Then the babies come at 30 4/7th weeks- the longest anyone has kept them inside before giving birth. They put her on blood thinners which might make her hemorrhage. The babies come. In 6 minutes. The babies are hooked up and taken care of.

She went into cardiac arrest and she doesn’t remember a lot except that she couldn’t breathe.
She leaves and lives in Scottsdale until the babies come home. She has friends and family helping with the kids. The kids were very healthy- no lingering problems. Bryan gets a vasectomy.
They Hollywood called- Deal no deal, ($121K + $100K in scholarships and lots of creams and baby things for free). She says it is easy once 9 months rolls around. She plays with them and walks with them. (Did she have a tummy tuck) Bailey, Grant, Cole, Savannah, Blake, Molli.

Raising Sextuplets Premiere
The ‘tups are 16 months old. Jenny is a Physician’s Assistant and Bryan is finishing his MBA.

They have a better opening than the Gosselins. They live in Lake Havasu-Phoenix, AZ. I
wonder what the child labor laws are like there.

They do a quick recap of the OMG Sextuplets! Show and talk about how the kids began to walk and develop. The kids seem to be very healthy and there has been no diagnosis of anything lingering with them.

These kids are really kind of unfortunate. Except Cole. He has a lot of personality. And Jenny is a little perky. She tries too hard on the narration. But I will say she at least puts on a better face than Kate.

Immediately they start with a photoshoot because Jenny is being interviewed as a mom running a marathon. (And Jenny is a little TOO humble for it to be real.) They talk about their dog Luke
being filthy- should we call the Humane Society?

They argue because Bryan has to go to work and Kate, er Jenny needs to get a barrette for the girls’ hair.

Time for naps and Jenny cleans. Not a helper—but Jenny. Then the kids are up again.

She fixes chicken nuggets and corn. She throws the corn on the table and the nuggets too. No plates. I gotta kind of like that. NO dishes.

They all help giving Luke a bath. Even Jenny said the APS might come visit. She keeps telling the kids that things they are doing are “icky” but she doesn’t get shitty about it.
Tiffany, a niece, lived with them as a helper last year. She came again today and they gave the kids baths. She feels guilty because there isn’t enough of her to go around.

They get quiet time or another nap in the afternoon. Lots of screaming at that time.

Then Tiffany and the kids go to Red Robin with the Masches for Tiffany’s birthday. She puts Bryan on notice that just because he works all day doesn’t mean he gets out of doing diapers.
She works on the weekend and he says he has to do it all weekend. He helps getting them dressed.

Then they go out—in a Grand Canyon University van. Did they rent it? Did they buy it? Is it a perk of the job? But they had a nice dinner out.

Jenny and Bryan seem to be in the whole need to look good for your partner thing. She signed him up for an appointment at a weight loss clinic. He’s told he’s obese.

Meanwhile Jenny is setting up play dates. Wow. Other kids!!! Alone. Grand Canyon University donated the van to them. And they use it. Imagine that. She says “You can’t stay at home all day. They need to get out.” Take that bitch Gosselin.

Bryan is getting meal replacements. He fixed the kids breakfast. Fruity colored Cheerios and waffles. It was fairly sweet. At least one of the girls has pierced ears. On babies? Yuck. Talk about choking hazards.

Play time while dad cleans. And mom coming back and freaking just a little about how little the kids were fed. Bryan says Jenny wants him to get back to his studly body and Jenny said he has a studly body—it will just get more studly. LMAO

Jenny goes off to work. 60 mile drive each way. 10 hours in an ER. Yuck.

Bryan Masche weigh in?

I am not exactly sure what Bryan's deal is in this, but here are some other videos for a sneak peak at the show.

The Vancouver Sun has the Masches number

From some of Bryan's ambitions, I do believe the Masches are going to become Jon and Kate Part 2. Oh the joy of it all. What a trainwreck it will be. MWAHAHAHAHA!


Jon and Kate plus 8 spinoffs? Stay tuned for 'Raising Sextuplets'
By Staff, Vancouver SunJune 10, 2009

The Jon and Kate 'exploit your kids for personal gain' industry is only just getting started, it seems.

The Gosselins have their books, their TV show, their speaking engagements and their inevitable Octo-Divorce (TM). Meanwhile TLC, the TV station that carries their Jon and Kate Plus 8 reality show and enjoys their mammoth ratings, has also given birth to 18 Kids and Counting, Table for 12, Toddlers and Tiaras, and I Didn't Know I was Pregnant.

Now the sickness seems to have migrated to other cable stations, as is evidenced by the announcement that WE TV will soon launch 'Raising Sextuplets', a Jon and Kate-stye reality show about a family that had six kids in one hit - and received phone advice from Kate Gosselin during their pregnancy.

Bless.

"['Jon & Kate Plus 8'] has really changed who those people are," father of six Brian Masche told the Daily News Wednesday.

"It went from being a show about people who have sextuplets and twins to a show about people who have a show. Neither of them even work anymore."

"For us, we want to maintain normalcy in our lives. We don't want this to change who we are. We told our friends and family members and people at our church, 'Look, if you ever see us acting high and mighty, if you ever think this is going to our heads, please approach us and smack us around.'"

His wife, Jenny Masche, continued: "Bryan says that it doesn't matter because we're a different family, but as a mom, I'm like, 'Oh my gosh, that's scary. How can we protect our family and do this and have fun without anything negative happening?'"

Presumably, you don't invite TV cameras into your home.

But hey, if you have to, the Masche's might just have a better chance of staying sane than most, being as they're limiting filming days.

"Around five days of each month, when the crew was around, we got a little break from the routine; we got to have some friends around," said Jenny.

According to Kate Gosselin's sister-in-law, Aunt Jodi Krieder, the Jon and Kate Plus 8 filming schedule rarely ceases.

Jenny Masche is an ER assistant and Bryan sells salesman for a pharmaceutical company. They live in Arizona and have three boys and three girls in their collection of kiddies, and they're looking at their new venture as a time capsule of sorts.

"When we're 60 years old, sitting around with our grandkids, we can be like, 'Look, this is what your mommy and daddy were like when they were kids," said Bryan.

Bryan says his hobbies include, "shooting guns, blowing things up in the desert, and reading books about politics, business, sales, real estate, and investing as well as the Bible." He wants to one day run for political office.

The two became engaged after Bryan proposed to Jenny at an Arizona Diamondbacks baseball game.

"We need to not only learn from others' mistakes," Jenny told reporters, "but have some boundaries put in place and pray for wisdom that we can stay strong and united."
The first episode, to air Thursday, focuses on the birth.

Masches say they don't want to be Jon and Kate

From MSNBC.com. Red is mine.

Sextuplet mom was wary about reality show
Jenny Masche didn’t want her family to be like ‘Jon & Kate’ or Suleman
By Mike Celizic
TODAYShow.com contributor

At first, a reality show centering on their sextuplets seemed like a great idea to Bryan and Jenny Masche. But then the gossip magazines exploded with controversy over “Octomom” Nadya Suleman and the marital troubles of Jon and Kate Gosselin, and suddenly Jenny Masche started to have second thoughts.

Did the Arizona parents of six soon-to-be 2-year-olds really want all of that scrutiny? Would they risk becoming tabloid fodder?

“It bothers me,” Jenny Masche admitted Friday to TODAY’s Meredith Vieira. “After all this stuff came out, I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, we should really think about this and pray about it.’ ” (Like the Greedy Gosselins prayed or should it be preyed?)

Different strokes
Jenny held a towheaded toddler on her lap as she spoke from her home in Lake Havasu City, Ariz. Her husband held another of their brood on his lap as their other four kids sucked on bottles and kept themselves busy around the parents and siblings. (Is this the same Lake Havasu as the one that Vickie from the Real Housewives loves to party at? What are the child labor laws like here?)

Ultimately, Bryan told Vieira, he and Jenny decided that they would not be like the Gosselins or Suleman. And so the reality show, “Raising Sextuplets,” which started filming more than two years ago when Jenny was pregnant, will hit the air next Thursday, June 11, on WE-TV.
That day is special because it is also the sextuplets’ second birthday. (Nothing like pimping often and early! Any Coogan accounts set up yet?)

Bryan Masche said he was never concerned that his family of three boys and three girls would share magazine covers with space aliens and misbehaving heiresses.

“These are totally different situations,” he told Vieira. “Jenny and I both work full time while we’re taking care of the kids. We’re different families. It’s different situations.” (So did on and Kate, or so they told us. What will stop you from the freebies, the makeovers and the general fakeness?)

He said he accepts that someone will always question their decisions and their situation.

“No matter what we would have done in this situation, there’s going to be scrutiny,” Bryan said.

“Just having sextuplets, there’s scrutiny; just deciding to keep all of these babies and not terminate any of them. You gather scrutiny just for making that decision alone. There’s definitely going to be scrutiny, there’s going to be controversy, but I don’t think it really bothers either of us.” (You say that now!)

Jenny said the show was never really planned.

“They started filming it two years ago when I was pregnant. It was kind of just, ‘Hey, can these people document your pregnancy?’ And we’re like, ‘That will be awesome,’ ” she told Vieira.
“It kind of went from there, and we film about five days a month,” she added. “It’s been a lot of fun for us … so, hopefully, it will go well. Of course, there’s been a lot of things in the news recently and controversy over other reality shows. We would like to stay away from that.” (then don't do the show and don't be an attention seeking famewhore-ish couple)

Marathon mom
Jenny nearly died during the Caesarean delivery of her children when her body systems shut down and she went into shock. She was hospitalized for nearly three months afterward, but since then has totally recovered.

She ran a marathon less than a year after giving birth and has recently done another, finishing under five hours.

Bryan and Jenny Masche rely on grandparents and relatives to help them keep up with Savannah, Bailey, Grant, Cole, Molli and Blake, who turn 2 on June 11.

The Masches have a strong support system of grandparents and relatives who help them care for Grant, Bailey, Blake, Savanna, Molli and Cole. That allows Jenny to work as a physician’s assistant. Bryan, who just completed his master’s degree, works in pharmaceutical sales. (how long will this last?)

In a recent appearance on TODAY, Kate Gosselin, the mother of twins and sextuplets, had said that the marital difficulties she and Jon are going through are normal for parents of multiples, who, she claimed, have a much higher divorce rate than other couples. (yes, Kate, give us the source of those stats)

Vieira asked the Masches how they’ve been able to keep their marriage strong amid the demands of raising so many children.

“It’s definitely a challenge, and we have to work really, really hard,” Jenny said. “We meet with our pastor and his wife on a regular basis, just to stay grounded and have some counseling because there are pressures that come up with any marriage, and especially when you have six newborns.”

Important dates
Getting out alone together is a priority, she added. “We do regular date nights just because we desperately need that time together alone for us to feel like a team and like we’re on the same page,” she said.

As the children get older, the challenges just increase, Bryan said.

“It’s become a lot more work,” he said. “Definitely a lot more fun and we’re having a great time. The kids are just amazing; totally loving, totally sweet. They love each other, but we’re also noticing, the older they get, it doesn’t necessarily get easier. It’s become a lot more work, too, because now they’re not stationary in one spot. We’re chasing after them all day long.”

After the challenges of just keeping up with the kids, Jenny admitted it can be an effort to make herself go out on her date nights with her husband.

“There’s nights that the last thing I want to do is leave my house ’cause it’s a wreck and there’s so many things that I need to get done,” she told Vieira. “But we say, ‘That’s OK. That can wait until later, because we’re gonna go out.’ ”
