10 weeks!
Fetal development in pregnancy week 10:
fetus in third month Your astonishingly tiny baby has been hard at work growing as fast as possible—almost doubling in size in the past three weeks! Amazingly, you’re in for a repeat size doubling performance within the next three weeks! Your tiny champion still weighs less than a quarter of an ounce but has already completed the most critical stage of their development. Using Doppler technology, your doctor or gynecologist can let you hear their tiny rapid fetal heartbeats this week (145-165 beats per minute!). Chances for miscarriage are greatly reduced when the heartbeat can be detected, so take a sigh of relief if you’ve been needing one—it hasn’t been an easy ten weeks! What’s more, they’re getting ready to make their first baby poop! Your little one’s major organ systems are developing, including a functioning digestive tract capable of moving food all the way through their bowels. The final shiny gold star on their fetal behavior chart for the week: your little scrapper has already developed defense mechanisms to protect them on reflex!
feeling better this morning!
he slept all night til 6:30 (I was worried cause he slept sooooooooooo
much yesterday) and at 6:30 he had a low grade fever, about 100* instead
of the 103-104* he had yesterday. I gave him a couple of chewable
tylenols and some juice and he relaxed for a bit. I tried putting him
back to bed, but that was a no go. :P oh well. he'll be ready for a nap
around 11 and so will I!
he ate breakfast for me (a whole cereal bar, most of a pancake and 2
cups of juice!) and its all stayed down.

poor little pooh
my poor little Pooh woke up with a fever this morning. :( actually he got up with no diaper (the tab had broke), pee in the bed and a fever. he's laying on the couch now resting some more. he's not felt like doing anything of course. had some juice when he got up and spit up some of that before going in to walmart.
I sent the other kids outside so he could rest better.
I was happy to see for me that I was down a couple pounds this morning. made me feel better anyway. LOL I feel pretty good today too, though I think I should have skipped the snicker bar I just ate. obviously chocolate is not a great thing to my tastebuds right now. :P
I had a good sleep last night, but it'd have been better without the 1,742 times that I had to get up to pee!!! thankfully I just crashed back out after getting back to bed. sheesh!
***later today***
so the kids have their last soccer game tonight but I had to miss it. we got to the park and were fine, I was letting G try to eat some applesauce since he's not eaten anything today, only had 3 cups of drink. he ate great, but before he could finish it, he threw it all up. no change of clothes on hand (did in the van, just not at the field) plus he was still running a fever and it was hot outside, so once dh got there, I jsut brought him home. he's sleeping again now.
I hope the kids do good and have fun tonight. I think they'll be doing a tourney after this, not sure, but man, the teams not won a single game. K doesnt care, but C is rather ticked. ;)
dinner will be soups and sandwiches cause when G wakes hes' in my lap the whole time.

had a good day today, so to speak. it was all good around me, but I felt
like crap most of it. so icky feeling and then tired, no good nap and
then more icky feeling. all day long. yuck.
church was good, no big battles with the kids and Hunter didnt get in
big trouble during SS.
we were going to get pizza afterwards, but they were crowded and NO one
was coming up to see how many we had to sit. so we just left cause I
HAD to eat and soon. we went to have chinese which we all filled up
really well on. LOL! I got to have some sweet shrimp sushi among my favs
and G ate 4 sugar biscuits, 5 or so pieces of fried taters, a bite of
chicken and a bite of cheese stick. he's learning how to use a fork. he
cant spear things yet, though he tries, so I just guide his hand to
spear stuff and he feeds himself. he thinks its SO funny. LOL!

after eating, we went to look at movies. I rented TMNT for the kids and
got some free rentals and bought 4 used games (buy 3 get 1 free) for
$15. that's all our blow money for the week. LOL!
then home to rest cause I was pooped. we watched the rest of the
titans/colts ball game and I slept a bit after that. not nearly as much
as I'd liked, but oh well. the bladder called, of course.
gotta go to walmart tomorrow. didnt pick up any dipes on saturday and G
is in need, plus a few other items I need to get there. bleh.
oh, C had a GREAT time at Holiday World! he says he's so glad he went.
he talked about the coasters, water rides and everything all day. his
face is red from wind burn or something too.

stupid things people say
when I walked in the grocery store (with only 4 kids cause our oldest is at Holiday World) the checker looked at me and asked 'hon, are you pg again?' 
I smiled happily and said yes, then went on my business cause I've heard this womans comments just about having 5 kids and I want to fry her! so then she starts talking to the bag guy, going on about 'I could NEVER have all those kids....' and I'm out of earshot by then.
when checking out, unfortunately she was the only one checking (of course) so I had to go through her line. a couple of times during check out, she'd look back at my kids (who were checking all the gumball/toy machines LOL) and turn back going "sigh" really big.
*grrrr!!!* my kids were doing nothing bad, not even being noisy (until they found an unclaimed bouncy ball in a machine and came to tell me of their treasure). its like she has a disgust for kids or something! argh!!! and her fav expression (no matter HOW many times she asks if "all those kids are yours (mine)") is "OH LORD JESUS!". I think next time I'll happily mention that "yeah, he's one that blessed me!"

from yesterday
I've felt like more crap today. it was totally my fault though. yesterday I had WAY too much caffiene and we ate a kinda late dinner, so I just could NOT sleep last night. PLUS I kept having to pee like every dang hour. ugh! finally around 2 (?) I got out of bed and went to the recliner so I could sleep semi-sitting up and got in about 3 hour stretch of sleep. woke when dh got up for work and went to bed and finally got some more rest. interrupted though cause C woke about 6, then I heard G and H up about 7 and H came in and out of the room to see me. he likes sloshing the bed and everything, cant just be still. baby finally woke at 8, so I was up then.
no nap or anything today either.
I looked for yard sales, but nothing that mattered. :P there's one tomorrow that will have maternity and baby stuff, so I'm going to go to that one. I did go to Cares for some cheap shopping though and found one gender neutral sleeper (green/white with jungle animals on the front snaps) and a pair of pink crib shoes with little flowers/hearts on the straps. they had a pair of ones with a little princess crown, but I couldtn find a match. couldn't find anything boy in newborn sizes, but did find G a sweatshirt for this winter.
also scored a kolcraft umbrella stroller with a parent bag there for $3. I have a shade for it that I bought at the mega dollar. after the last soccer game on tuesday, I can get rid of the big stroller and just use my umbrellas til baby gets here. I'll start using my double then.
had lunch at the lunch box again, kids had taco bell. dinner was spaghetti, though I just ate noodles with salt, butter and parmesean, no sauce.
K stayed the night with my mom and C is going to Holiday World in the morning. DH is going to drop him off on his way to work, so that is great for me! I was stressing about having to get everyone up at 5 or earlier to get him there!

new pics
there are a ton of new pics in the flickr stream, just click on the box
over there. I've gotten kinda lazy about posting them singly up here. :)
I do have a lot of belly pics too, but those are in photobucket and I'll
need to make up a belly page to share those on. not that much to share
yet, just round belly. lots of it too. I feel so very big.

also been reading through some of my journal with Garrett. I had a ton
of bloating problems with him, no matter what I ate. glad that's not the
problem this time. I only had nausea during the evenings with him where
with this one its basically all day.

C almost missed the bus today. I woke about 6:30 to pee and noticed the
bedroom light was on, so figured he was getting ready. I laid back down
and about 12 til I woke up again and noticed I didnt hear him about. he
usually sits at my desk and plays on Gaiaonline for a while. so I get up
and go to the room to see him sleeping on the floor! after a quick "what
are you doing?!!!" he shot up and grabbed some clothes to put on. dirty
pants too. ugh! he was out the door in 3 minutes and the bus got here
about 4 minutes later. I'm telling him tonight that he better not let me
catch him sleeping on 'snooze' like that again or his bedtime will be
pushed back to 8:30! (he's supposed to go to bed at 9 now, but tends to
lag around til about 9:30.)
9 weeks!!!
*Happy 9 weeks to me!!!* I do have belly pics, just need to get them off
the camera. not that there's a lot of change in my belly. round is round
after all. and so much for those 3 lbs lost, it came back with a
vengance today. I think my weight was squatting down so it could jump
back up.

we had a good day today. got all our school done (woo, go me and kids!) and K made an 82 on her spelling test and G made a 100 on his.
we never did get any more rain today, but the temps were super nice! at one point I walked out and thought, dang, its chilly! but it warmed back up later. LOL
we did find that one of our kitties died this week. it was patches, the stray that had come up and just made himself at home. he'd had an infection in his jaw late last week, but it seemed to go away, then we found him today just under the porch. :-( I'm guessing the infection got into his blood stream? he never seemed like he was on deaths door at all. just dont know.
kids had a soccer game tonight. I feel very bad though cause I forgot to send the team snacks with them. I've had these things waiting to go for weeks cause ours was the first game to be canceled when I was to bring snacks. I was so set to do it, but then in the course of the day, with the homeschool meeting tonight, then finding they had team pics tonight as well, plus everything else, I forgot. ugh!! our next game is thursday so I'll take snacks in on that day. most of the parents have not brought snacks for the kids and I was ready to step up for them and look at me. bad mommy!
so I dropped the 4 oldest off with dh and he took them to the game and G and I went to the meeting. we got some neat field trips coming up. Chinese Acrobats, weather center at the local TV station, library, and more. I'm really looking forward to the acrobats!! I've always wanted to see them!
we had a baked potato and salad dinner at the meeting. it all sat well in my tummy too so that's even better. G munched on chili and taters for me.
tomorrow I'm going to try to make it to Story Hour at the library. wish me luck. LOL! mostly the handling of H and Garrett through it. neither like to sit still. K is glad to go cause she can browse the books while the kids are being read to.
gotta do a load of whites before we go to town though. tonight dh kindly asked if I could take time out of my busy schedule to get some socks washed. um, yeah, I'll do that. LOL!

1000X and once more
so how many times will Garrett spill his toys out of his toy box and
leave them laying? there are no numbers to count the real amount. but I
keep picking up, which totally annoys him to see and sets him on a
course of immediately dumping them back out. guess he thinks they look
better that way.

hmmm...
cool, my surprise of the day? I dropped 3 lbs! didn't think that could
happen with the fact I ate a half bag of grapes last night and the pizza
and pasta I had yesterday, along with the whole cantaloupe I ate
saturday. guess the good thing is I'm craving good stuff overall.
sour stuff is totally not sitting well with me this time. I ate green
grapes last night and I had to wrestle them for an hour after going to
bed. granny smith apples taste horridly sour to me (and I LOVE GS apples
cause of the sour!!!). I guess I have a 'gentle' tummy this time. LOL!!

we had a really good time today at the pizza place. he got to invite his two cousins and katlyn got to have cousin heather over as well. my mom, step dad, dad, BIL mike (two of the cousins dad) and of course all of us were there. it cost $60 to feed everyone from teh buffet, but it was worth it. everyone got full and then got to play games. my mom brought a ginormous cake she made. LOL and we all got to pig out on that as well. I've got pics, but darn if I dont feel so tired and like crap tonight, so I'll do it tomorrow.

Meet Itty Bitty!
My first OB appt was today and I got to see our newest addition in person, so to speak, via ultrasound! Nothing was wrong, mostly just checking dates to make sure everything was like I was figuring. I got to see the heart beating away and Itty Bitty hanging out, being relaxed. :D

today was a good day, though I feel like crud. we made it to church in
time and I even fixed cinnamon rolls for breakfast. go me! LOL!
after church we went to hardees for lunch. me and sis both had the
southwest chicken salad with no onions (though I think I should have
gotten the big chicken sandwich instead). after coming home, I took G
and we both laid down for a nap! took about 30 minutes to get him down
(even though he'd fallen asleep on the ride home) but after that he
slept til 4:30. (2 hr nap). I only slept for maybe an hour total in all
that. waking to pee once and waking before him after that. course I've
felt cruddy after my nap. I hate that.

the rest of the day was lazy. watched tv with daddy and the kids played
outside and inside.
G had a blowout this evening which prompted a bath asap. luckily nothing
like yesterdays where he decorated the porch and had to be sprayed off
outside. yuck!
dh is off work tomorrow, so it'll be another family day!

the water works!
I have to say, I'm SUCH a waterbox anymore!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!! I cry at the drop of a hat! if I SEE someone crying, that's it! if I hear a touching story, that's it. pass the kleenex cause I'm gonna need the box!! I was a MESS watching extreme home makeover on sunday. dh just handed me a hand towel he had. 
this morning, I was just listening to a news story about a captain on a shrimp boat that delivered his cooks baby. he'd never delivered before, but got out the first aid kit and got to work. the baby was born breech and got its head stuck, but after he did CPR for about 20 minutes, the baby started breathing! the mother named the baby after the captain. I was all choked up about that. I dont remember how long its been since I was SO dang emotional during a pg!!!
and its only just beginning! oh my!!!

is the day over now?
**from earlier today**
so I'm feeling like so much crapola today. my eyes are kinda hurting right now. I did get a short nap with G, maybe 45 minutes. he's still sleeping thank goodness. I'm not feeling bad as far as green feeling (which kinda bothers me cause I felt pretty ok for most of the day yesterday as well) just icky feeling I guess cause of the congestion stuff. I'm not in the best of moods either, kinda crabby.
I have gotten pics to share today, most of them courtesy of G-man and his antics.
we watched Howl's Moving Castle today, it was good. all the kids even sat to watch it (which is big cause G and H dont usually sit for a whole movie).
I made sugar cookies today too. not homemade, the pillsbury kind you just cut and stick on the pan. they're good though.
G has been on a mess spree today. he's dumped a glass of sprite, been IN the dishwasher twice, in the OVEN once, on the table I dont even know how many times, in the game systems of course and more. maybe that's why I'm so crabby.
**from later today**
so I'm very ready for bed! I think I'll read some Inuyasha before heading there though. I deserve it. G continued his mess-spree the rest of the day. some of his antics include:
nearly pulling the big skillet off the stove while I was cutting up chicken, pulling the plate of cookies off the counter, pulling the pile of plates for dinner off the counter (which I caught just in time), turning the kitchen light off/on a dozen or so times, sitting on the kitchen bar playing with cups (that means he climbed up in the barstools again and then got on the counter). ugh, he keeps me on my toes! I dont know if I've had a kid to enjoy climbing as much as he does! sure all the others climbed, but its like he's got a set of hiking boots built in!!
he was 'jailed' in the PNP several times tonight while we did things like dishes and me finishing up dinner. dh told him "see, bad boys go to jail" :-D
fixed hamburger helper tonight, though I used chicken instead and did the enchilada dinner. it was good, but I ate too much and felt like a bigger piece of crapola afterwards. still not feeling the best, but can drink my water (much needed).
we took the plunge and ordered an additional line on our cell plan for the kids. just one though. they have a pre-paid phone, but dang if it doesn't use up $ like crazy. plus when C was on the square the other night, I couldn't reach him at all cause it had run through all the $ I'd put on it, mostly in that .35 every day just cause you have it charge. >:o so at least we know they'll have a phone that actually works all the time. I was able to get dh a new phone too in the process. we'll do it this way: dh gets the phone I just ordered (he wanted one like I have) and the kids get his old phone which also has pics/video on it. everyone's happy and the phone I got tonight was free. it'll be here this week and then dh can quit complaining that 'everyone gets a new phone but him'. so the new line is $10 a month, which is what it cost a month to keep that pre-paid phone running for a month, plus they'll have the rollover minutes and free mobile to mobile. works for me!
oh, and C will be able to use it the first time on Thursday when he goes to a Titans football game with his cousin! he's very excited about that! no school on friday this week, it'll be the first parent/teacher conferences.

we took the plunge and ordered an additional line on our cell plan for the kids. just one though. they have a pre-paid phone, but dang if it doesn't use up $ like crazy. plus when C was on the square the other night, I couldn't reach him at all cause it had run through all the $ I'd put on it, mostly in that .35 every day just cause you have it charge. >:o so at least we know they'll have a phone that actually works all the time. I was able to get dh a new phone too in the process. we'll do it this way: dh gets the phone I just ordered (he wanted one like I have) and the kids get his old phone which also has pics/video on it. everyone's happy and the phone I got tonight was free. it'll be here this week and then dh can quit complaining that 'everyone gets a new phone but him'. so the new line is $10 a month, which is what it cost a month to keep that pre-paid phone running for a month, plus they'll have the rollover minutes and free mobile to mobile. works for me!
oh, and C will be able to use it the first time on Thursday when he goes to a Titans football game with his cousin! he's very excited about that! no school on friday this week, it'll be the first parent/teacher conferences.

I'm dealing with some stuffy nose stuff now. not really that bad, just have to take a sudafed about 3x a day to help keep it at bay and so I can sleep at night, along with a slathering of Vicks under my nose to keep me open. it seems to be going around the area though. not sure if its allergies or what. my eyeballs were itching and watering like nuts this afternoon, drove me crazy!!
oh gosh, we watched Extreme makeover HE tonight and I was baaaaaaawwwwwwwling!! omgosh. cant watch other people cry, it sends me over the edge! dh kept asking "you ok?" "you crying?" he just gave me a hand towel he had next to him. :-D
I've not gained any weight yet. I'm staying in the 4 lb range I've been hanging in the last few months. always amazes me cause it seems like I eat a lot, but then again, I really dont. my breakfast was a bowl of oatmeal with 2 pieces of toast and some OJ (which OJ leaves a terrible taste in my mouth, same as milk), lunch was a chicken sandwich with some fries and half a mushroom and swiss, I was HUNGRY! LOL! my dinner was 5 dill pickle chips, about 1/2 a chicken breast on bread w/ cheese and a bowl of vanilla ice cream (I could have done w/o the ice cream :P ). so not really a lot for me. I get so full feeling I think I eat a lot, but when I think of what I've eaten, its not much. LOL! today was one of the 'good days' as far as how I felt though. on the bad days its mostly crackers and stuff like that. I need to buy some more saltines though. the ones we have are salt-free. I want my crackers with SALT!
did get in a nap today with G after lunch. he slept much longer than I did, which pushed his bedtime back to about 10:30. I'm tired again already though, so need to get my butt on to bed!

felt like much dog-poo today off and on. I had to go do a shop I got
well paid for at lunch time. stopped at a homeschool book store and
decided what I wanted for Gavin's language books (nope, still havent
gotten those) and headed home for a nap. well, kinda nap. I think I
slept for about 45 minutes total, but I do feel better at least.

oh, before I left out, I found a cicada out on the carport. I got C so
he could see it and he promptly took it inside to scare someone. I
could hear K screaming all the way outside.
I picked me up some pink lemonade mix yesterday, so now I can at least
drink something besides water or Dr. P. half the time water tastes very
nasty to me and I cant drink tea during my early pgs, and I sure dont
need to drink DP all the time.
I also had to pull out my wrist brace. my left wrist is a bit inflamed
it seems and hurts when bent, so I'll wear it for a while til it starts
feeling better. usually its my right wrist that bothers me though and
it's feeling fine. kinda odd.
I'll be taking C in town in a bit. he's going to a benefit up on the
square that his *gasp* g/f's family is having for her grandfather. yes,
g/f, sort of. I dont think she's given the "yes" yet, but he talks about
he ALL the time. she's actually our neighbor, but they didnt get to meet
til he started riding the bus cause her driveway is like a mile long.
C is already asking about the dance coming up in October and all that.
Lord help us! LOL!

I should have taken a lasso with me today. things would have gone much smoother that way. the boys acted like I'd filled them up on chocolate before taking them out into public. I had to make a stop at the home-health place to pick up crutches for DH and oh.my.gosh. you'd have thought they entered a circus arena!! Garrett was NOT happy to ride on my hip, so wandered around shaking the oxygen bottles, pulling stuff off the shelves, etc. The boys took it to mean they could climb all over the handled seats, handled toilets, climb on the oxygen tank containers, racing around and falling over the handled seats, trying out ALL the chairs in the place... I told the lady (luckily who knew dh) that I was glad we could entertain her for a little while today. Thank goodness she had a sense of humor and didnt get upset with the boys (unlike myself).
we still had to go to the store after that. they didnt sneak anything into the cart on me at least! LOL! of course they were too busy acting like ninjas the whole time to bother with that. *sigh*
I was more than glad to be home, though I did stop by and pick up a couple of burgers for the boys before heading there. they were giving free fries away at hardees today and the girl gave me two orders free. I munched on one of those all by myself on the way home.
dh is on his way home and C should be home in about 30 minutes. G woke up from his nap about 20 minutes ago yet I'd love to take a nap myself.

getting ready to head in town today and its just the boys and I again. K stayed with mamaw again last night.
*whew* just saved a box of cereal from being dumped out!-
-just got G out of the pantry.. where is my lock???-
-found it after 2nd time getting him out of there.-
so anyway! ... dang it, he's trying to get on the table again...
dh got home last night. his foot is bothering him again. its swelled up and he's just in one heck of a grouchy mood. I'm going to stop and pick up his crutches today.
-who is this guy that keeps calling and getting my callwave??-
I got this funny email yesterday. go to the first link and read up, then you can check out her blog if you like. LOVED the ebay story, hilarious!!!!! and sounded so familiar for some reason.

Poor G is having poopy problems again. this time he's stopped up. if not one poop problem then another with that boy. *sigh* I know when it does break through though, its going to be bad.
we went to my moms for my stepdads 50th birthday last night. she had some ribeye steaks that were OH so good! G got fed (twice) and while I was eating he's at the table breathing all over mine and moms plates (he's between us). trying to poke a finger at the things he thinks are interesting, mostly the bread. does he really want anything else though? no, he just likes breathing all over the food and whining for a bite, only to promptly spit it out on the table with a look like 'what'd ya give me that for??'. yet he keeps breathing and whining for more til he gets a piece of cake.
he had to be bathed after that.
shopping should be fun today, just the three little ones with me. thats like having 3 wild animals on a leash trying to tame them.
oh, C gets his school pics today! I'm kind of upset with him on what he wore. I wanted him to wear one of his cool button downs w/ a white tee under it, but no. this morning he puts on his Minnesota twins tee and tells me he stuck the button down in his backpack. uh, no thanks, you'll look like you slept in the laundry basket.
oh well.
BBL!

baby is napping, have had to coax him into it a couple of times, but the little booger is so tired, he really needs that good nap. Katlyn is working on math and the boys are outside playing in the water table.
my boy cats were brought back home today along with 2 big bags of kitty food. they shot out of those carrier's like spikes were on their butts!
I put up one load of laundry on the line and the whites are washing up now. only one load of laundry left to be caught up for the week!
for lunch we had homemade tortilla pizzas and chips/dip. we also watched a couple Nest Ent. movies since Katlyn wanted to after reading about Lazarus in her history book. we ended up watching movies on Solomon and Joseph.

I finally got G-man down. little booger never napped for me today til

pee terribly!

wanna know what my lunch and all snacks consisted of til dinner today?
mac and cheese, just like breakfast. how bad is that? I'm at an impasse
though where just not much of anything sounds good. I'm not nauseous yet
to anything (except the thought of shrimp really turns me off LOL) just
nothing screams EAT ME right now. I did fix myself some chicken salad
sandwiches for dinner. it was just a sandwich night w/ also leftover
spaghetti. I hate not having something I actually want to eat. how silly
does that sound? course I guess its a good thing considering where my
weight is starting out this time. maybe its my body's way of saying
'watch it toots!'
morning!
tried to do a bit of scrapping this morning, but of course booger woke up not long after I started. hopefully it wont take a month for me to get back to it. LOL
now I'm wanting some dang white gravy and biscuits. wonder if it'd be worth a trip in town...
having some of those achy feelings in and around my ovaries today. I hate those, they make me nervous and you'd think by now I'd be used to it. *sigh*
5 weeks! 5 weeks!

Thank you!
I wanted to thank everyone that's posted and all those who have emailed and called me (my little Sis!) with the congrats on our new baby! It means a lot to us! :D
My mom was over today and said she's still trying to wrap her head around it. LOL (You'd think by this time it'd not be so hard ;). she was awesome today while here. she helped me get the house in order and I feel like I'm in charge again! house picked up, dishes got done, floors vac'ed and clothes washed. having two generals in charge moved things a whole lot faster! :) awesome!!
I had my first bought of "dang that's a nasty smell" tonight while fixing dinner. dh wanted shrimp with our alfredo noodles, so all I had to do was thaw and de-tail them. Oh My Gosh! I had to keep my head turned to the side cause the smell of the shrimp was NAS-TAY to me!!!! :yuck: even cooking the stuff I had to stand back and not breathe it in. he told me he'd fix it if I needed him to. LOL! it wasn't a 'make me sick' smell, it's only to the point of giving me the willies when I smell it. LOL! of course after being outside later, when I walked back in, that's all I smelled for a while. :-p
funny thing though, my last pg, I craved shrimp scampi for weeks during my first tri. aint NO way that's happening this time!!
Katlyn is asking if we know that its a girl yet. ;) Canaan is happy to finally be able to tell whoever he wants (he inadvertantly found out a couple days before we told the family and I had him keep it mum!)

so I've been hiding something...
I didnt want to post in here because the family could come in and see before I told them.
The big news of course is that we're creating a 6 pack! yes, our 6th baby is on the way and with lots of prayers, they'll be healthy, strong and arrive in April for us! *woo woo!!!*
we just told the family yesterday at gavin's bday party, which turned out to be a great way of doing things. it was SO much fun to see them solve the riddle!!
my moms expression when she figured it out:
that was followed by MANY exclaimed "OH MY GOSH!" and "you're not joking are you?!" LOL!
my 'dad's' happy face after the riddle was solved. ^_^
my brother after figuring it out later when he arrived!
my older sis telling her dad, uncle Larry, on the phone. his response: "again?" LMBO!!!
I am due April 16th, which is my niece Heather's bday (that totally made her even happier!). We didnt expect it to happen this fast after our very long TTC journey with Garrett, but we are VERY happy!!!!
