It's Official!

My husband and I can now say we are the parents of FIVE children! Yes, yes, we just found out via two pink lines that we are expecting another bundle of joy, probably in December. I am SO excited. For some reason, I am experiencing very little anxiety or nervousness or fear. I am completely overjoyed at this news and am really looking forward to having a newborn in the house again (my youngest is 2 and a half and will be 3 when the new baby comes). Please pray for me. I have always had healthy pregnancies and have never lost a baby, but I would appreciate the prayers to God that this trend in my life would continue. I know I can't take anything for granted.

My husband and I have been married eight years this upcoming July. Our other four children (2 boys, 2 girls) were very excited at the news. Except their response when I told them there was a baby in my tummy was, "Maybe there's TWO babies in your tummy!" What, like one isn't enough? I guess you can't please them all.

My husband's first response was, "Oh, if we have a little boy we'll have a little John Paul!" It certainly would be appropriate.
