Going Public...

   I guess it's safe to finally post this on my blog.  John posted on his, our children and families know, and most of our friends now know, so there's no sense hiding it any longer. :)  We are expecting our 6th child!! :)  Yea! We are excited.  No, it was not an accident (we've been asked that a lot as we were expecting Eli to be the last).  Yes, it was planned for now.  I will not have 2 babIes at home as some have thought. (Eli will be 22 months when the new one arrives.) We are still on the 2 year plan for our family. :)
   Starting when Eli was 3 or 4 months old, we kept having feelings of "someone's missing".  We'd count heads two or three times before we left anywhere or sat down to dinner or scriptures, etc.  John gave me a blessing in January where I was told that there was one more spirit waiting to come to our family.  That's kind of hard to ignore. :) So, we are following Heavenly Father's plan for us and our family. It's a pretty good plan.  We're excited about it anyways. :)  Our official due date is May 9th.  I am 18 weeks along, and we will find out on December 27th if it's pink or blue. So, stay tuned!! :)
