I am pleased to announce that in May our 4 will become a full house.
As many of you know we had plans to wait. I was going to girl's camp in June, we were going to Canada in July and next Fall we would think of another little one. I'm not going to lie, but I was blown away to find out early September our plans had been altered. We've been surprised 3 other times but this was...shocking!
When I tell people that, I get the usual uncomfortable questions. I would like to answer some of those even if it's just for me. Yes Chad and I know where babies come from and how to get a break for a few years. So why haven't we? Time and time again, with much prayer and consideration, we have decided on a birth control method that isn't very good. But along with that we have open and often communications with our Heavenly Father. We recognize His part in the timing and creation of a baby. We let him know our desires and wishes.
On top of that, we aren't very diligent and I've got a baby-making body. I'm like a factory. Which I joke about but I am grateful, I really am.
But I love my kids and I would gladly give up 9 months and sleep for the rest of my life (0k, sometimes not so much during the fact). The point is, I love them fiercely!
We've always had great support and I thank those around me for it. So come join us as we celebrate the wonderful gift of life! Again. And probably again sometime in the next few years.

I finally got my firefox updated (thanks Chad for the fix) and I can now see your posts in full. I've gotta say, I love ya. You are an example to look to and your kids (ALL OF THEM) are very lucky to have you as their mommy.
