Baby #5!

Well, for those of you who don't know...drumroll please.... I am pregnant. This will be baby Taylor #5. So crazy! I feel a little foolish because I have been very vocal about the fact that "WE ARE DONE!" Well, after lots of prodding by the Spirit and fasting and prayers, we decided that someone else needs to be a part of our family. After we made the decision, I really got excited quickly about the prospects of a new baby. My gut really thinks this a little girl but who knows. It has been funny to start preparing because I had already gotten rid of all my maternity clothes, cribs, baby clothes, etc... So now we will begin the process again. It's all good. This pregnancy has been SO DIFFERENT than my other 4. I have been so very sick. Haven't been able to keep most anything down. Taking care of my 4 other kids and keeping life running smoothly without "Mommy's game face on" has been difficult. My visiting teachers, friends and family have been so helpful. We have had so many meals brought in, house cleaned by friends, shoulders to cry on, etc.... I can't thank you enough... you know who you are. It's been interesting... When you are that sick for that long you really see who your true friends are. Love you guys! I can't thank you enough!

Congrats! I have been thinking about you and wondering if there was going to be two babies or one:) Good to hear there will only be one, you have your hands full with the other four and being a stay at home Mom. Best of luck! Take care.
