Help
Well, my hubby knows of course, but I haven't told the other children yet. I'm waiting for as long as I can until the nausea gives me away (hence the green-faced smiley). I've had early miscarriages before so I don't want to get their hopes up if something happens.
Life is already a bit chaotic for my tastes (I'm usually pretty disciplined) but it may get a little more so. Please pray for me and my family as we walk this crazy road together... yet again. <smile>

Oh Wow! You are an amazing woman, and I will pray that this pregnancy is healthy and easy! Lord knows you need that. Being sick and trying to take care of young kids can be rough.
I am due May 13 with my third and it was tough while I was sick, but it does pass and I feel pretty great now.
I love your signature! People really do ask that about knowing what causes all those kids....makes me annoyed, but not everyone is meant to have more then one or even one for that matter! So I guess to each his own.....
We aren't done either and some of my friends think we are crazy for wanting more then 3, but it's our choice and we love our kids! I have a friend who has 8 and they are all well behaved and sweet kids. We may not end up with 8, but I do know I want at least 4.
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. Psalms 127:3-5
I am happy for you and will be praying that all goes well.

Congratulations!!!! My sister has 7 and got a lot of razzing- I think she would have had more if she hadn't gotten too old. 
I can't imagine how you get it all done. Lucky little one going to such a big, happy family.

Congratulations Patty! I too hope the nausea passes soon. I suffered for 7 months with my first and 2 weeks with my second. Go figure.

Congratulations to you, Patty! I hope you have a healthy and happy pregnancy. Oh, and you forgot my favorite: "You must REALLY have your hands full!" to which you smile and reply, "No, I just have my heart full"!

Well congratulations !!! I love the big families, we have 6, so the chaos is a normal routine for us. I do understand how disciplined one must be to run a family that size.. Well enjoy the pregnancy and be healthy.
