We Are Having A Baby!!

We just found out last week -- we are now expecting number SIX!

I go to see the ob/gyn next week, and since I have already seen him for the previous pregnancy they are going straight to the initial ultrasound. They'll be able to check on the baby in general and measure him or her, to see just how far along I am. (I think I am about 6-7 weeks but not 100% sure.)

So of course I will keep you all posted as things progress. I haven't been able to Gather as much because I feel like all I am doing anymore is eating or sleeping. LOL. Those first few weeks of pregnancy settling in are so exhausting! Plus a girl at work just moved on so we are short handed but it hasn't been too big of a burden on me. Besides, I don't mind a little extra money. We will need a "new" van to fit us all!

I was on my way out to run an errand but it is pouring so I don't like to load up the kids and go out in a thunderstorm!

Congrats!
Six is a lot, but it does mean more love and fun.
Just think when your kids have kids of their own what the holiday table will be like.
Enjoy the good times that are ahead!
