And Baby makes 6!!

Oh!  The surprises that God drops into our laps.  Mike & I thought we were just about done with raising kids when, boom.  We are now expecting a baby. Technically, this will be our second since we suffered a miscarriage about 4 years ago.  Mike jokes that I messed up his 5 year plan of having all the kids out of the house & time alone together.  I guess God had other plans on how we were going to be spending our lives together.

So, we are now preparing for a new bundle of joy to join our family in December 2013.  All the bets are flying as to if it's going to be a boy or a girl. Mike wants a boy because he says there's too much estrogen in the house now with me & the two girls.  LOL!  Gabby wants a baby sister because she doesn't want to change the diapers of a baby boy.  Needless to say, there is a  lot of humor behind the wager of the sex of the baby.  Me, I just want a healthy, happy baby.

Honestly, I never imagined that I would be almost 40 & pregnant.  This is a lot different that when I was pregnant with Caitlin & Gabby.  The one thing really stands out when I got to the doctor is my "advanced maternal age".  Due to this we have had to have extra blood tests & ultra sounds to make sure our little Peanut is doing o.k.  Well, we've made it to over 16 weeks so far & things are looking good.

Monday, July 8th, we are scheduled for a Level 2 Ultrasound to make sure all is progressing well with our little Peanut.  Hopefully, we will be able to find out if Peanut is a  he or a she. :)  Though, if Mike will let anyone know, that's still a question.

Here's to loving God's little surprises that He drops into our laps. :)
