Big News

Without beating around the bush...

I'm PREGNANT!
I was exhausted, as I've said in the last several posts. And I just thought, hmmm, I remember this feeling.
Sure enough, baby #4 was an obvious positive on the little test. I am due late November. Hattie is SURE its a sister and Silas thinks its twins. I hope the latter is false for sure.
Other than been incredibly exhausted, I'm feeling fine. We are all very excited. Jody wants a big family. Our familes are very excited and supportive (although there are a few...ahem....who say 4 is enough. I say, we take it one at a time.) Knowing that God already knows this little human makes it even more wonderful to think about His plans for our family!

Congrats!!! You will be one busy mamma (like you don't already know that). We will be praying for you. I remember being so exhausted early on with my pregnancy's and that makes things a challenge. You know I'll have to take it upon myself to share this news with everyone at Dakota Hills - Hee Hee. I love being the bearer of happy news!!

Emily(& Jody!)CONGRATULATIONS!!! I think God is doing a work in many Christian families. I know a lot of 3, 4 & 5 children families. You'll be able to find out as early as 7 weeks if it's twins or not.(maybe earlier I don't know, but that's when I found out!) Whatever the situation may be- as you already said- God already knows!(and he doesn't give us more than we can't handle)
I'll be praying for a nice easy pregnancy!

Emily, that is so exciting- babies are such a blessing! Welcome to the "Moms of 4 Club"! LOL

P.S. We had lots of the same reactions that you've had (like: isn't 4 enough?), but we were thrilled and I know you are too!

Congratulations to you both! Don't let the nay-sayers get to you. You know the ages of mine and I can tell you from my experience, it doesn't have to be hard having teenagers. You can't expect the worst or they will live up to your expectations, know what I mean?
Each day is a blessing because time goes by so fast. I'm praying for you to have a healthy pregnancy and for you to get some rest. Kathy
P.S. My girls have a blog at www.princessesindisguise.wordpress.com

Congratulations!
I’ve been reading your blog for a couple months now and got the link from your sister Holly’s site :) I saw that you had three little ones all close in age and I just had to read your posts! My husband and I are expecting our fourth the end of October and already have three kids; four, three, and 15 months. It’s good to know I’m not alone :)

Congratulations guys! You know, Silas just might be a prophet! Remember when your mom said that a quiver is 5, and that happiness is a full quiver? Hmmmmmmmm? We will be praying for a healthy baby, smooth pregnancy, and an easy transition.
