This is What Having 10 Kids in 13 Years Looks Like

14 years ago Satu Nordling Gonzalez gave birth to a little girl named Nicole. She’s been pregnant pretty much ever since, adding another baby (or two) to her brood (almost) every year.

13 years of pregnancies 

In May 2008, she had Nicole.

In June 2009, she added another girl to the mix –  Vanessa.

In April 2010, she welcomed twin boys, Danilo and Johnathon. That’s just 10 months after Vanessa too and four babies under two for anyone playing along at home.

In December 2012, yes, she had a year of pregnancy-freedom in 2011, she had Olivia.

In April 2014, she added Kevin

In May 2015, it was Celina.

In October 2017, it was Isabelle.

And in 2020, she welcomed two babies – not twins – Melanie in February 2020 and baby Benjamin in December 2020. 10 months apart. 2020 was a busy year, indeed.

Now we don’t know the ins and outs of Satu’s pregnancies but, we’re guessing she’s spent around 80 full months (give or take) of her life pregnant. That’s impressive.

Clearly, Satu loves babies and adores being a mum and she is absolutely smashing it too. She runs a very successful Instagram page @myBabyDolls in her home country of Sweden and documents life behind the scenes with her gorgeous kids.

Her day starts around 6:30am with a few nappy changes, a few more packed lunches and breakfast for her big brood. Then she ships the older crew off to school, leaving her home with her three youngest – Isabelle, Melanie and Benjamin.

It’s after the majority of her tribe is away that she gets stuck into the housework – laundry, dishes, vacuuming, tidying up, most likely tidying up again after the toddlers trash the place. Then it’s lunch and naps and school pick-up.

She drives an epic beast of a car – the Renault Master which comes with 12 seats and looks like it could bowl you over on the road.

When all 10 kids are back home, she helps them with homework, does more housework and prepares dinner. Bed for the kids is around 8pm and Satu will stay up a bit later to spend some alone time with her husband.

Ten of a kind

From the looks of her Instagram page, Satu runs a really tight ship and her children are absolutely lovely with matching smiles and golden hair.

They also seem to completely accept their mum’s love of taking pictures of them – I mean, look at those faces – not a single eye roll in sight!

In between the day-to-day routine, Satu and her crew find plenty of time for play with snaps of family hikes, visits to theme parks, swims at the beach and so many birthday snaps! The majority of her kids are born in April, May, and June but December is also a busy month.

Another favourite pastime for Satu and her kids is to dress up in similar clothing and line up in various formats. Such as by age. Or date of birth.

But mostly, Satu just likes to share her love for her children with her 20 million fans. Her positive attitude is certainly refreshing and doesn’t she look incredible too!? 10 babies, ladies and gents!

What’s her secret? Easy. Her kids. They keep her on her toes and she wouldn’t have it any other way. Her love radiates through every one of her pics and we can’t wait to see if she decides to go for Baby #11 in 2022/2023.
