    Default Countdown

    So, there have been some issues with this pregnancy, and at one point, we thought I'd go in January, but it looks like we're in it for the long haul, over here! If so, after this coming Tuesday, I only have two more weeks before the baby arrives! I can't believe it! I cannot wait to meet the newest member of the family, and am so excited for all that it entails!

    Hard to imagine how different life will be!

    At this point, we're kinda crossing our fingers that we don't double-up on a birthday. One down, as my youngest turned 5 yesterday, and then my middle turns 7 on Tuesday and my oldest turns 10 on the 23rd!

    Wow time is flying Amy and it's something having all the kids birthdays in the same month! So happy for you and your family, the kids must be excited too.
    All my best on the rest of your pregnancy and wishing you an easy birth. Take good care!

    Amy - I cannot believe how fast your pregnancy has gone - at least for us!! Rest up my friend!! Like you we cannot wait to meet the latest member to your family!!

    LOL, Jamauk! Everyone asks that.

    Actually none of them were planned that way. Two were complete surprises and two we had to "work" at. Apparently, May is just a good month! (Technically June this time around).
