Rounding the family off nicely

We are very excited to welcome a new little one into our family! I am due April 8, 2009. I went to the doctor a week ago and got to see its little heart beating. Hooray!
We told the kids tonight during our FHE announcements. Hannah was in total shock.....Peter just looked at me with a smug look saying, "I knew it." I asked how he knew. He said that my lap was getting smaller. Hmmmm.....at 8 weeks?! I hope not!! Joseph just sat there smiling.....and Eden, using her new skill, clapped the whole time!!
Hannah, Peter, and Joseph all hope it is a girl. I think it is going to be a boy. Alan and Eden are neutral on their predictions.

This will be the 5th child of Alan and Rebecca, on the Drake side it will be the 20th grandchild, and on the Boss side it will be the 11th grandchild, unless someone else announces in the next little bit.

I am so excited for you!! My two youngest are 17 months apart. It was a little tough at first because Sydney still wanted to be the baby. Now they are becoming good friends and playing cute together.

Congratulations! How exciting . . . I hope you are feeling well!

I am so happy for you! And a little envious at the same time! I am trying to convince Shawn that it is time to get prego with our 3rd and sad to say, last baby! He thinks we should wait until after Christmas. I said no of course because I dont want all our kids to have a birthday just before Christmas, and I do not want to be preggers all summer long again! Oh well, he has all the control (know what I mean?) heehee
Call me. I do not have your phone number!

YEAH!!! How exciting!!! How fun! I have to echo your friend Tammy's thoughts exactly. (except for the whole 3 is the last one thing). It made me laugh, and you getting pregnant didn't help, Ellie is older! That really is exciting. Congrats.

Okay, I have to admit that when I'm holding Megan (who is just older than Eden) the thought of being pregnant again right now sounds awful!!! Too many sick & blahhh days for me! But at the same time, how sweet to have a new little baby!!! I think you are super mom- for sure! We are so excited for your family!!! We Love You!
