Pregnant

My wife is pregnant with #6. At the same time I have a friend at work whose wife is pregnant with their first. We found out at the same time and he (jokingly) said I stole his thunder with my announcement of #6. I told him that #1 carried much more weight in the announcement category than #6 to most people. People just stare at me and I can hear them saying in their heads, "What's wrong with these people?" Then they say out loud, "Don't you know what causes that?" or "How many is that, twenty?" Yeah, I have heard them all. It's funny how most people can't comprehend more than two or three kids in a family. Heh, I used to be one of those who couldn't comprehend it. Remember, I am the guy who would've just gone on without any kids or would've just stopped after one or maybe two when they did come. But I would've missed out on the blessings that I have received from all of my kids. As my wife says the more kids we have, the holier we get. Sanctification through parenting... who knew? :)

Our Newest Blessing

After a very quick labor and even quicker delivery, our 5th (and 2nd daughter) has arrived at 10:47am December 7th. She weighs in at 8lbs. 14oz. and is not overly happy to be removed from her previous locale. Mom and baby are healthy and things went so very well. We just thank God for the newest blessing and for the perfect delivery for both mom and her.
