For Now Anyway...

So, you've all probably noticed on the side where it names all our family that it ends in "for now anyway..." Well, I'd like to announce that the "for now anyway" is only gonna be for about another six and a half months. Yep, that's right...we're having baby number 5!!! I have to say that we're really excited, but also really anxious to get the next few weeks over. These first 12 weeks have pretty much done me in. Between being sick and not being able to do anything because of the risk of miscarrying, we're all overly due for life to get back to normal, or at least as normal as normal is around here. I have to say though, that everyone has been so good to help out and take care of us. We've had lots of yummy meals brought in and I've even been completely kidless for a couple days so I could rest and do nothing. Wow! We've definately felt the love. My next (4th) ultrasound is in one more week, so I'll keep you updated. It's looking promising though, as the last one showed that the bleeds under the placenta are healing and if it continues they will probably be completey healed in another 3-4 weeks.

5 kids...Whoa!! Yeah, we're still a little bit in shock. :)

A Delicious Harvest

I'm sure you all remember my post about when our little family planted our garden. Well, months later, we've been enjoying our farming efforts as we've been able to eat our squash, tomatoes, banana peppers, red peppers and watermelon. Yum! We still have a few pumpkins growing and many more watermelon to come as well. The kids love checking to see if anything is ready to be picked and they've even shared in the watering duties. Kolter loves to "check on the garden" and asks everyone and anyone if they want to "go check on the garden" with him numerous times a day. He also tells me when the watermelon "curlers" have died and they're ready to be picked. (Thanks Molly for filling us in on how to know when they're ready.) My Grandpa Neva would be so proud of us for growing a garden. He LOVED gardening. I guess his hobby and green thumb just might live on in my little ones, especially Kolter.

Can you believe this good lookin' melon? I might just have to say that it is the best watermelon I have ever seen and it came from our very own garden. Let me tell ya, it was delicious too.
