It's true. Table for 5 please.

We're pregnant again. Both sets of parents sent the message out in their Christmas cards so I'm suprised we've managed to keep this quiet for so long.
I thought about ending my post there but instead I'll head off all the questions I'm sure to get in the comment section. Let's see how well I can do.
  • No, it was not planned. In fact it was a HUGE suprise. David says I'm not allowed to say accident.
  • Yes, we're well aware of how these things "happen".
  • 10.5 weeks due August 7th.
  • Hannah and the new baby will be less than 15 months apart.
  • Yes, I freaked when I thought about having 3 children 3 and under but I quit panicking when I set my only expectation to survival.
  • I feel good just the normal tiredness and am so grateful I don't get morning sickness.
  • Yes, we'll need a new car.
  • Yes, this one will be another homebirth.
  • We've decided since this pregnancy was a suprise we're not going to find out the gender and let that be a suprise too. That will be new and exciting and may keep me from stressing out about what's to come.
Did I miss anything? While we're completely thrown by this David & I are grateful for the blessing that it is to be parents... and well, we always said we wanted a big family- we just never expected it to be growing at this rate.

Congrats on your 'Surprise!' Jack and Olivia are 15 months apart and it's fun, but busy, all at the same time! Someday I'm hoping they'll be best friends! And I'm also hoping that they'll somehow get college scholarships since there will be 2 going thru at the same time! Good luck!

Do you remember how in the mission field you said that you finally knew what Satan must feel like in regards to having gained weight. That's how I feel about the whole being sick while pregnant thing. I would really like the company:)
Congratulations on the new little one, if anyone can handle it, I'm sure it's you Sammy.

No one could do it better than you two. It's a good thing you two are not easily stressed out. I'm happy for you. My brothers are 14 months apart and my sister and I are 16 months apart. We were all close in every way. It's fun. Miss you, say hi to the book club for me.
