Yes we are Expecting Love baby #5! This was quite the journey for us. In fact it taught us how
precious the process of creating life is. About 2 years ago we tried for our 5th child, after 6 months of trying, nothing came of it. We decided that it was time to move forward with the 4 we have. All was fine and dandy until people around us started popping out children like crazy! That will stir up the mommy instinct in anyone. Jokingly I asked my husband if he was ready for another. To my shock and surprise 'Mr. I don't want any more', said yes. What?! Really?! If you know me, you know I would give the Duggar lady a run for her money, my husband, not so much. So moving on along, Oct. of 2012 we started our family expanding adventure. I was very nervous knowing what happened last time, so I did not go into it very positive. Oct rolled by, than November, A small setback in Dec with my body, led to very off ovulations for January, February, and March. I was hopeless at this point, willing to cave and just move on. But my husband assured me he had prayed about it, and he felt we should continue. I got a lot of advise from other women. All who conceived quickly the first couple times, but struggled as they got older. I did as they said, just stopped worrying and moved on. I started back on my strict diet, and P90x. (After all we were going to SD in 2 months). Focusing on Homeschooling, and spring cleaning. For some reason I felt my full on ovulation the month of April. I was very relieved I was back on track. It was an over all positive month, lots of great news all around. Come May 3, I spotted a tiny bit, and chalked it up as another month gone by. My husband bought me a tanning package to relieve some stress. That sat. I spent the whole day shopping for summer cloths, which turned up nothing lol. Come Sunday I felt off. Went to the Lords house and worshipped very emotionally. We came home and I realized I had not started yet. Its not like me to be late. I just felt like death and knew. My Love went to the store and bought me a test. I wasn't going to take it till the next morning but my patience got the best of me. 11:30 pm, I cried with joys to see those beautiful lines. I stared at in in shock for hours, didn't go to bed till 3am. Crazy!

So here we are #5. We are so thrilled it isn't even funny. They say you appreciate the things you work the hardest for, well this blessing is well appreciated. All the boys can say is they hope its a girl. To much testosterone is probably and under statement haha. I am beyond excited to have my boys at the age where they all can enjoy this. I cant wait for them to go to the ultrasounds, watch my belly grow, and feel the baby kick. It will be a nice addition to Home schooling. And a welcomed addition to our little family ;)
