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. :)

Holy Cow Nats...how exciting, and nerve racking!!! I hope everything goes well and that you continue to get the rest that you need. after #1 & #2 things get a little hairy to try and rest and feel normal during pregnancy. You are so brave...I hope I can be as brave as you in about 5 more years. Just teasing...I wish I was there to help you! Love ya and good luck!

5 KIDS! Just say that out loud too yourself "5 KIDS!" All I can say is "You are my hero!" I really wish I could do one more, but I really don't think that is going to happen. I am so excited for you and I hope you get feeling better soon. It is pretty crappy being sick, especially when you have other kids. Good luck with this pregnancy. You are an AWESOME mom!

You are just the little mom that can handle FIVE kids, you go girl! I am wondering what is going on though with your health and baby carrying...I just hope that all is well. Congratulations you are amazing, not to mention lucky to have such great support to bring meals and take kids, that is wonderful! Why did I move away?
Love ya!
