Who else is expecting??

I’m not yet, but hope to be soon. My mom said something about this that might make you laugh. She knows that we are planning to have another baby, and asked if I was pregnant yet. I told her that no, I wasn’t because my husband’s work schedule has been so crazy I literarly haven’t seen him. To which she replied, “You know the actual procedure doesn’t take very long.” (My mom is a nurse. Hence her choice of words.) Anyway, I haven’t really been able to share that laugh with very many people, it’s kinda fun to be able mention it!

I wish you all the best for the remainder of your pregnancy, and for a healthy little one (and mom too). Hopefully, I’ll join you soon, although I’d be just starting and you’ll be nearly done!

I’m expecting my fourth too!  June 25th (at least that was the original date based on last cycle – ultrasound at 20 weeks had baby measuring small so maybe toward the beginning of July).  Ours is a girl – and my three older ones are girls – I’ll have a 6 yo, 4yo, almost 2 yo and newborn!  Looks like we could have a fun playdate suzukimom!

That is so fun!! I have a 9 yr, 7 yr, 6 yr, 4 yr, 16 month old so I can join in on the fun also.

Kim, I will be 37 next month and I am praying that God will give me several more years of fruitfulness (of the womb) hopefully I will be fruitful in other ways for MANY more years. LOL

I have thought about what a shock (in a good way) it would be to have twins. And it would be funny to see what God would do with our pattern then.  I haven’t really been sick with my other 6 pregnancies (1 miscarrage)  but there is a first time for anything..so we will see!!

Congratulations Suzukimom and Rebekahy, we will pray that it is June and not July..who wants to wait two extra weeks. Although God’s timing is perfect so we can rest in that.

What a fun post!

bkack – I have two children, one boy and one girl. I always wanted to have at least 4 kids (maybe 5), although my husband thought one or two were enough. Ironically, about the time he was okay with 4, I decided I didn’t think I could handle anymore pregnancies (both of mine were difficult – the second one I was considered “high risk”) However, both children arrived healthy and I made it thru fine as well – it was just really hard for me at times. Sadly, adoption isn’t an option for us right now, so it has taken me a considerable amount of time and prayer to warm up to the idea again.

Sometimes I feel a bit like mommy-traitor because I was the one who wanted multiple children. (And a big wimp, because I know there are lots of women who have had more difficult pregnancies than mine). I told my sister once, that I do want more babies, I just didn’t want to be pregnant. Ha! But, maybe things will be different this time! Maybe there’s hope for me after all.

Congratulations to everyone else! It’s always such fun to be pregnant at the same time as others you know. I won’t be this time around. My sister/sister-in-law, cousins, and friends all just finished up a round of babies. So I think I’ll likely be solo in my family this year.

Our homestudy has just been aproved for baby number 4.  We have 3 girls and are adopting from a country that will most likely refer us a boy.  We have 3 girls so far and my husband doesn’t care what we have, but I see moms with their grown sons and just melt!  My mom (she passed away at 58 only 1 1/2 years ago) had an amazing relationship with my brother and I would love that.  Our 1st and 3rd are biological, #2 is adopted from Guatemala.  I am praying for a referal of twins, siblings, or a future child (which we would receive first preference for) but leaving it in God’s hands.  He has done a more than amazing job so far so whatever is fine with me!  We may travel by the end of the year b/c our special needs preferences are so open but it could be a year yet.  One of my favorite things about adopting is knowing my babies birth mom is probably pregnant right now!  It gives me something to pray for that is very concrete, especially knowing she has a difficult journey ahead of her.  Anyway, my “baby” is 5 years old now and I was crying to my husband last month that I had no preschooler to plan for this year.  He said I will probably be grateful for that come this fall!  Well congrats to you all and I can’t wait to hear the good news of everyone’s arrivals!  God bless
