SWEET BABY!!!!!!!!!!!

On February 18th We learned that baby number five was coming to our family.  I am so excited to meet this new baby and feel the growing and moving inside of me.  Unlike some of the other pregnancy's I feel ready to have another sweet spirit on the way.  I am so grateful to be blessed with this wonderful opportunity to be pregnant again.  I am hopeful to enjoy each and every moment of this pregnancy.

Tonight for Family Night Eric gave a wonderful lesson on The CREATION and Eternal Families.  At the end of the lesson he mentioned each child from oldest to youngest and told them how excited we were when we found out that they were going to be part of our family and then he told them that there was one more that was going to join our Family.  They were so surprised and super excited!!!!!  Catherine kept saying really MOM??? REALLY ??????? I saved the test and showed her how we knew for sure.  I found a jar of poppy seeds and told them that our baby was about the size of a poppy seed.
Eric was super excited to share the news, so he called up his family and asked them to do a video call. The children very excitedly got to share with Grandma and Grandpa Richardson  the news of the new Grand baby. I think they were quite surprised by the news.
Our little growing family is so excited to be welcoming another baby.

I am still very early in the pregnancy and have asked the children to keep the secret in our family.  Well Catherine is so excited she just can not help herself.  She does not come right out and tell the secret but she gives the best clues to help them figure things out.  Silly girl.  Now I am wondering who all knows about the sweet new baby in my tummy.
I have asked the children to keep the secret until Easter Sunday.  I hope they can keep it that long!!!!!!!!!!

Well it seems as if we are not good at keeping secrets.  I am looking forward to my doctors appointment and finding out my due date.  On Sunday March 25th I felt my baby move and again on Tuesday the 27th.  I have also been sick for several weeks today  I have felt a bet better.  I am in hopes to put the morning sickness to bed and be a healthier me again.

We are still excited about welcoming another sweet spirit to our family.  This pregnancy has not at all been as wonderful as I had hoped for.  Late Sunday afternoon on the 15th of  April my placenta started to tear away from the uterine wall.  I have been on bed rest ever since.  Since the 15th we have had two ultra sounds and our baby looks wonderful.  On the last ultra sound the technician was almost positive that we are going to have a little boy.  Catherine is a bit sad she was really hoping for a sister to keep the pattern going.  We will find out for sure the gender of our baby the middle of June.
