Oh Baby!

I have been asked before it I was making an announcement, and I wasn't. For whatever reason, I haven't been able to go public with this, and I can't really say why. However, everything seems to be going just as it should. We are extremely excited and blessed to announce our 6th baby is due on April 26th--a great day to be born we have found, huh Julia and Kathryn? Like always, we have chosen not to find out what we are having, but KL keeps telling me it is a baby bruder. As of today, I am officially 1/2 way done(20 weeks), so I guess we will find out soon enough, huh?

The kids are all really excited. We had told D quite a while ago, and he kept the secret amazingly well. He didn't tell a soul. We let it him announce it to everyone on Thanksgiving. When he first said it, the adults let out their exclamations, but the kids weren't really paying attention. CK was standing next to me and not really listening, so I said, "Did you here that?"
CK: "What?"
me: "We are going to have another baby."
CK: "Sewiously?"
Me: "Yes."
CK: "Fow Weals?"
Me: "Yes."
CK: "Oh. My. Gosh."

Anyway, like I said, we are excited. The kids are all making their projections on what it will be (the girls think it will be a girl--except for KL, of course-- and the boys are hoping for a baby brother). D got a big kick out of feeling it kick tonight as we watched the First Presidency Christmas Devotional. As for me, I'm just feeling very blessed to already have 5 amazing kids and now to get to have another! What a great life!
