My Lucky #5

I'm the 7th child. I've always leaned toward even numbers, but I've always thought of 5 as my lucky number. And 3 weeks ago I got the shock of my life....thus far. We are expecting baby #5. Am I ready for another little baby? Well, Joe did sleep all the way through the night for the first time last night, so maybe so. Ready or not, we are excited and we will be ready. I never thought I'd be capable to love so many little people, but somehow I do and I know I'll have room to love this child too. I've always known that being a mother is exactly what I wanted to be more than anything else. I've always known that I wanted many children. Five is many and I'm grateful my body is strong and able to carry them here.
