Expecting #5

"To be pregnant has been for me each time the supreme joy ... I was doing the greatest thing in the world without having to do anything -- all I had to do was be."   -- Gloria Vanderbilt

  14. Thought I'd answer your "red head" question here! We LOVE red hair, and all of our children have been 'brainwashed' about this since birth! - I say 'brainwashed' for lack of a better word, we truly LOVE it! My kiddos used to ask me why I didn't have red hair...so sad to them! Our first 5 kiddos have increasingly darker red hair, and the last 5 all have blond. At our house, we just teach the blonds to accept the fact w/ grace!
    It is UNBELIEVABLE that you get asked if you dye your daughter's hair....I mean, perhaps if YOU weren't the one being asked (even w/out the visual aid, it still seems ridiculous) ...but someone actually looks at YOU and asks....speechless...I am speechless (in spite of the lenth of this comment!)
    Have a glorious day!

  21. Thank You, Everyone. I know many of you are actually secretly concern for me so I appreciate your comments of excitement. We are excited. I wasn’t sure if God was finished with us. Anyway, Beloved and I are trying to move things around so I can see a Doctor. I have to go home to Nashville this weekend to get a referral. Also, We are trying to figure out about the move. Yep, once again I am going to be moving and pregnant!!! My due date is just going to be about 3 weeks after his report date to the other State. Because of being high risk due to previous HELLP Syndrome (although I would be that anyway simply because of age) I don’t want to change Drs that late in a pregnancy so we will have to either move early or later than expected. It is already hard enough to find a Dr that is okay with delivering a previous HELLP patient to have all the other added issues to the pot.

  22. I'd never heard of HELLP. Will certainly be praying for a healthy pregnancy and delivery!

  23. Congratulations, y'all are such great parents. Please write (like you have time wink wink) a How To Book :)

  24. I've been following your blog for quite awhile and wanted to say congratulations! Hope all goes well for you!

  25. I know so everyone tells me! Maybe I should just be more open and share a few things here! Heehee... Then, again maybe not! Hmm! I will think about it...

    One thing for sure it would never be in the "How to" section, Jen! I could even write an autobiography but I know the publishers would label it fiction! Who would believe my life-stories?!!

    My blog appears normal and boring right? It is the look I go for...

    Lisa, you crack me up with your tie breaker! I can read your "crazy" thoughts from several states over! ;)

  26. Dorcas. Thanks for popping in! You're welcome to any time!
    You make me smile when you do!

    I had a friend named Dorcas Ann when I was in Jr High/Sr High while living in Alaska. I have several funny stories about us getting into mischief. I think I will share them one day!

  27. Wow! I am way behind in the news here but wanted to offer our heartfelt congratulations!! We are so happy for you! I will be praying for a healthy pregnancy :) God is so good!
