Oops, I did it again!

HAHAHAHA!!! I know right. No you are not having deja vu. Yes it is what you think it is. ANOTHER BABY TICKER! I guess this is my "official announcement." I am 14 weeks along now, due in May. We are quietly praying for a little girl to surprise us (and yes it will be a surprise) but we are quite sure its a boy, not cause I have crazy intuition or anything but come on do you really think this Yarn man can produce a girl very easy? Apparently not! We don't have ANY names but have all we need for either sex so we feel good about not finding out the sex this time. I am so excited to have them hold my baby over the blue tarp as they shout out the gender to me. I remember doing that with Trey and can't wait.


The shock has worn off by now (if your wondering), and yes my babies will be 15 months apart. I know alot of people think thats not too bad but they don't understand my point. Let me give you my point: K, I had my first 2 children 2 days short of one year. I loved it, it was like having twins. From day one I dressed them alike every chance I got. They have always been best buds and always did everything together, even to the point I have to make them seperate sometimes cause they don't realize they are seperate beings. Like I said I loved it and still do, BUT, and thats a BIG BUT, I have had 3 other kids since then whom I spaced out fine for that same reason. I like to enjoy my babies and not hurry and make them grow up like I did with my first. I didn't know any better at the time but looking back he did some things at 1 that most 3 year olds couldn't handle. I don't want to do that with Madden. He is my baby and most of all acts like my baby so how do I take that away. I must say he has changed to me in the last little bit, he has started to walk and he responds well to lots of things we say, he sleeps perfect, he is getting more independent in his play times, BUT, and yes, that's a BIG BUT, he is my baby! I want to keep him my baby.


I know we can do this all over again, I know we can cause Heavenly Father obviously has trust in us to do so. Talking to some of my friends lately I have realized even more now how grateful I am for a body that functions correctly. I have never had a problem getting pregnant (we've only "planned planned" 1 out of the 6 if that tells you anything). We love them all and they all came when they were suppose to but we have never sat down and discussed the "right time" to have a baby. Is there ever a "right time"? I don't think that's anything we have a say in, our right time is never the same as our Heavenly Fathers, that is for sure. So here's to the next 26 weeks, or should I say 25 cause I go in a week early due to c sections. Yes I should say 25 makes it sound quicker. :)

Oops you did do it again! Have you not figured out what causes pregnancy yet??? Well i just have one thing to say, you dont need to EXPLAIN anything to anyone. If they don't like it then tell them to shove it. It's your life and you wether you decided to give another spirit life then so be it, it's between you and your fam and heavenly father. Don't let anyone JUDGEMENT or opinion waiver what you two have created together. Life is special, every one of them, even if it was an unplanned pregnancy, I mean come on... look at me... Mom and dad didn't plan me but I'm the greatest thing in the world that came to all you guys! haha see... i told you:)

Well when you told me you were pregnant again I was think what the heck only because Madden was still so young. Im so excited to have another niece or nephew, I will love him or her like I do all my others. Your a great mom and Mike is a great dad, Heavenly Father did the right thing with blessing you two with another baby. Like Mandy said, it doesn't matter what anyone thinks, its no one's business. The next 25 weeks are definetely going to be exciting especially because of the great amount of anticipation of know what your having. Congrats on baby #6, I can't wait to meet my new niece. HaHa ( another nephew will be just as great :)
