Party of 6......wow!

Well, we just thought our family was complete! On August 7, 2008 an EPT pegnancy test gave me the + sign. I was so shocked that I thought to myself, okay maybe I need the first morning urine....that is what the box recommended. So on August 8th, as soon as I awoke, I did it again, and what do ya know. It was another + sign. I knew then that our family of 5 was expanding to a family of 6. A true blessing no less, but it's kind of difficult not to think, OMG 5 more years of daycare. Just as Payton will be starting kindergarten, little no name will be starting daycare! As the initial shock and disbelief wore off, the next thing on my mind was when to tell everyone. There is always that fear of, what if something happens and I've already told everyone? So we decided to wait until I'm about 8 weeks and the risk of miscarriage decreases dramatically. Well, that didn't happen. My mom and sister came up last week to do some shopping so we all went to dinner, Mom, Morgan, Brandon, Chezna, my nieces and my family of 5. Somehow Chezna and I got on the subject of kids and having more or not. She looked at me and said, "what about y'all?" I busted out laughing and totally gave myself away. Now after dinner I was feeling guilty that someone besides my own mom knew about it first so I decided to tell her that night also. Of course she thought I was joking at first but I so wasn't joking! I really am going to have 4 kids! Okay, so now we still needed to tell the girls. So the next morning we went out to breakfast and I told the girls as my mom videotaped the whole thing. All Baylee could say is what?, like a million times, with her mouth wide open and then she immediately started texting all her friends to tell them the news. Reagan was so excited she kept asking if she was dreaming. And Payton just said,"I want a baby girl, not a baby boy" and kept trying to force feed me the oatmeal I had already finished, telling me, "the baby wants oatmeal! Eat this oatmeal!". Now everytime we sit down to eat Payton asks if the baby is eating and if the baby likes it. Everywhere we go, Reagan shouts out, "my mom's pregnant" whether we know the people or not! The excitement went on for a while with the three of them and when they finally settled down they just wanted to know if I was serious. Then came all the questions and I won't even go there right now. So now a week and a half later it has all sunk in, everyone knows, and I am very excited about this new addition.
