I’m sorry for being so lazy about posting lately! I’ve been so tired and I’m behind on everything but my heartbeat.
I promise to get better at it! Or try!
Here’s a few snapshots from our house today…
Then again, I might not be so good about posting for a wee bit!
Our family is in a bit of shock, to say the least!
I am 42, and thought my baby years were far behind me (we thought we were making sure of that!).
I am still at a bit of a loss for words!
I have a very high chance of miscarrying (50/50, I hear), and I have a very high rate of miscarriage in my past (a dozen before I had my four children).
Who knows what will happen, but I’m up for the adventure. 🙂
Wow! Congratulations and good luck. What an utterly post.

Thanks! I do feel utterly everything right now! 🙂
whoops, meant to say ‘what an utterly LOVELY post’. xx
Best wishes for your pregnancy. Rest as much as you can (and don’t worry about the blog!).
Thanks Emma!
CONGRATULATIONS! (tears) and…blessings!!!!!!!
Oh, thank you Joanna. 🙂
Wowzers! Congratulations. Blessings to you and your family.
Yes, wowzers is pretty much how we all feel! LOL Thank you!
I was not prepared for that last pic, way to do a surprise! Congratulations 🙂
LOL Thanks Genevieve! 🙂
Blessings to you, my dear. Take good care.
Thank you, Daisy!
How wonderfully exciting!!! I am 38 and with a 7 month old, I keep feeling sad that he is probably our last. I am more than a bit envious. Treat yourself gently and enjoy every second.
Well, I was sure we were done after our third and Alex was a really big surprise and then I was REALLY sure we were all done. So you never know! 🙂 Thanks!
Oh my gosh! Congratulations! How wonderfully exciting. Fingers crossed all goes well for yo, take care!
Thank you, Alison! 🙂
Congratulations! I hope all goes well. How exciting! Now you have your two great girls to help you(not to discount the boys).
Yes, the girls do tend to be more help with things like that! The boys might surprise me though!
Oh MY!
Congratulations!!
Thank you! 🙂
Gongradulations, I hope it all works out really well and you will have a new little addition later this year:)
Thanks! 🙂
Girl, you crack me up! Lalala…frost…books…bird…cat…lalala….kale…cute wallhanging…
pregnancy test….lalala….HUH?…. PREGNANCY TEST?! OH!!
That is one hilarious way to announce it and well, hey, just like all the rest, it IS life and it IS random and it IS beautiful. Congratulations and best wishes!!!
Tee hee! Thanks Lonni. I think many people missed it because I did kind of sneak it in there in a little old ho-hum post. 🙂
Wow. And yay! You MUST get your rest, take care of yourself, drink your orange juice, and did I already say rest?
Oh, I’m getting tons of rest! I sleep all the time! 🙂 And orange juice and green smoothies and all that fun stuff.
WOW WOW WOW! My heart skipped a beat for you… what exciting and thrilling and scary and wonderful and surprising news!!! ALL MY LOVE and BLESSINGS and PRAYERS! Please keep us all updated as this chapter unfolds. 🙂
LOL Thank you! Yes, it is all that! I’m still quite a bit in shock (and a little nervous about getting too excited). I’ll keep everybody updated!
You just gave me butterflies. I have followed your blog for a while and love your family, ideas and philosophy. I’m growing quite attached to all of you….and now this wonderful surprise. What a magical, unpredictable possibility! (hits close to home because I am 6 months pregnant with a later in life unexpected little one but it is our surprise boy…life unexpected.)
Aw, thank you Sandra! 🙂 Congratulations on your surprise boy too!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! Can you tell that I’m a little excited for you all 😉
Oh, and I will be thinking of you and this bean and wishing for a very uneventful 9m.
Thanks Shawnna!
I do hope so much for al of you that everything will be oke !!!!!!!!!!
I had my (only) son when I was almost 43. So………..why not.
When everthing will be oke, we know it will be a lucky child
Oh, that’s good to hear, Gretha. Thank you!
Congratulations! It took me a minute to read the test and have it sink in (I imagine even more so for you!). Hope you’re feeling good and getting plenty of rest. I’m hoping for the best for you.
Yes, it was a very confusing result! I was supposed to get a plus or a minus, and I got something else! 🙂 Luckily, the doctor confirmed it was a plus. And thank you!
Congratulations, Alicia! I will keep you, your new little one and your whole family in my thoughts and pryers!! How exciting!! I also loved the way you snuck that picture in at the end!!
Thanks Barbara! I did have a little fun sneaking that in. 🙂
just seeing this now-sending some magic your way for a sticky bean and lovely pregnancy and birth!
Thank you, Kelly! 🙂
Congrats!! How exciting. 🙂
Congratulations! Your site is one of my very favorites for the sheer joy it has brought to our homeschooling family lives. For all you have given my family with your words, I’ll be holding you in my thoughts for a healthy sticky pregnancy
Aw, blush… Thank you! 🙂
