Ready or Not

Okay, Ann, I'm going to count to ten and then you've got to tell them.... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (stall, stall, deep breath), 7, 8, 9, 10. Ready or not, here it comes: I'm pregnant. It's taken me almost five months to get up the courage to say that out loud, but there it is, in all its shocking and terrifying glory. Baby Purves#5 is coming in July. God bless us.
(Laugh it up, Em, laugh it up.)

It seriously took me months to announce baby #5 too. It was such a shock for US let alone the rest of the world. Congratulations, you are truly blessed and this baby is super blessed to have you and your awesome family. Take a few more deep breaths and remember doctors treat you so much better with baby #5, they know you're a pro :)
