It's Official...Another one is on the way!

So, besides our families and a handful of other people knowing...we thought we would let the rest of you in on our secret.

#6 is on the way!
We are due Sept. 1
 The due date is a few days sooner than I expected, but I don't mind that at all. 

We found out we were pregnant on New Year's Eve, but we didn't go to the doctor until today, so I have been waiting to announce to the world that we were pregnant.

We find out what we are having April 12th...Bridger told me to plan on a girl, and maybe he will get lucky and it will be a boy (I have always planned on it the other way around).  We are good with either a boy or a girl.

So when this baby is born we will have:
3 kids 2 and under:  my thoughts --scary!  Jay's thoughts --what was I thinking
4 kids 4 and under: my thoughts --crazy!  Jay's thoughts --stressful
5 kids 6 and under: my thoughts --still crazy, but Macie is a great help!  Jay's thoughts --help me
6 kids 9 and under: my thoughts --thank goodness for a big brother to help out!  Jay's thoughts --insane
(Do Jay's thoughts just get worse?!...he is a funny guy.)
We really both are very excited, and couldn't be happier.  With our go around of trying to get pregnant we are thrilled that we are able to have another baby.  Now, looking back we both are continually aware that we weren't suppossed to get pregnant for those 5 years because we needed Macie and Emy in our family.  We are so thankful for Heavenly Father's plan and thankful that He continually makes adjustments in our family so we recieve the blessings that He wants for us.  I couldn't imagine my life with out my 5 wonderful kids and I am excited to see what life will be like with another sweet baby in our home.

That's what it took for me to have a boy, I totally expected Brayden to be a girl and with ALL The other's I was expecting a boy. Congrats! I think you are awesome for being able to take that on, the longer I think about it the less I think I could handle 6 kids!

Congratulations! No wonder you say some days you just have to cry. If anyone is capable of having all those kids so close together you are! There is nothing better than having a new baby though, I'm excited for you.
