Dear Fetus,

Thank you for listening to my plea. I have begun to feel normal again. Except the bulging belly. Maybe you aren't a trouble maker.

You are now the size of a Peach! Wow! Growing so fast. I have always wanted one of those cheesy baby tickers on my blog counting down the days until you come. When it said 190 days it seemed like forever so I changed it to weeks.

I hope you know what you are getting into by coming to our house. It's not a normal house, but then again you don't even know what normal is. We are hardly ever all home at the same time. Your older siblings argue and yell at each other. I yell back, which doesn't really help. Suddenly Gracie has learned how to get into everything, so I hope she is over it before she gets a chance to teach you. I hope I can be a good Mom. 5 kids is a.lot. I hope I have the patience for all of you. I am beginning to think this is crazy and I can't do it. I guess I'm the only Mom you get and you won't really know the difference.

Grow away, Mommy

Gotta love the cheesy baby tickers....190 days does seem long but he will be here before you know it and we will wonder where the time went!!

What is this.....? How exciting! i'm so happy for you guys. We didn't really get to talk to you guys at the wedding. Brian said he tried to talk to your hubby but he must not of heard him, he just walked away. Brian was a little surprised by that. Oh well!
I hope this pregnancy goes well for you. You guys have such a cute family! Thanks for your friendship, and support to Lani. Hope to see you again soon.

I love your 'dear fetus' blogs! They are so cute!! I also loved hearing that you yell back at your kids!! Glad I'm no the only one who does that! Five kids is a lot...at first... but after four... whats one more?! You'll do great! The older I get the more I LOVE the little ones!!
