Well, for those of you who haven't heard, we are expecting our fifth little munchkin. After months of both being weighed upon heavily by the Spirit (and not telling each other about it), the truth came out. Scary. If we would have talked about our impressions months earlier, we could have gotten this show on the road sooner. We surely aren't getting any younger! Lessons learned in life. We should be welcoming the newest addition to our family just in time for Christmas! The kids are out of their minds with excitement. We shared the good news with the family on Mother's Day. Lauryn is excited to share her birth month with a sibling. Of course, with this new life-changing event for the kids come numerous questions...some easier than others to answer as I'm sure you can imagine. We were a little taken back when Karley came to us four weeks before she even knew and told us she had a dream that we were having another baby. We won't tell you what gender it was in her dream.
Here are a few cute things the kids have said...
Lauryn -- "What do you think we should name the baby?"
Carter -- "Um, Chacho!"
Carter -- "Richie Sexson!" (Seattle Mariners' First Baseman)
Connor -- "Ichiro!" (Seattle Mariners' Center Fielder)
Carter -- "Mommy, does the baby have clothes on?"
Carter -- about every 10 minutes -- "Mommy, when is the baby going to come out of your tummy?"
Carter -- "How long does the baby have to stay in the hospital?"
Janae -- "For a day or two."
Carter -- "Aaaw!" he says impatiently.... the same response he gives over and over every time he is told he has to wait until Christmas time to get the baby.

Sounds like Karley is a little Janae, does she say "someone is missing" too?
I bet it's a either a curly blond or brown haired girl.

Well Hi Carter Ladies!!!! Blogging is so much fun. Janae, Congrats! Another baby will be so much fun. I am very happy for your family, we have five kids and I love it!
I'm so excited for you! your kids are too cute! I wish Kenzie had a clue about what is going on... when I tell her that she's going to be a big sister she says, "no no no!" while shaking her finger at me. hopefully she will understand before January!! I hope you are feeling well! Good luck
OH, CONGRATS!! That's so exciting, and if you're wanting a vote, I'm going with Chacho!! He he, that would just blend in so well!
