Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Woo-hoo! Congratulations! Prayers for a healthy pregnancy coming your way.

The December baby club is growing. How many babies are we up to now that are due in December? Is this a 4Real record? There must have been a lot of Spring Fever this March.

Thanks so much, everyone!I think we're the first family in our parish to go over 5 children in quite some time. The word spread quickly yesterday, LOL...

I'm the youngest of 5, myself, so I'm feeling a little more pressure this time. Strange, but true. I sent an e-card to tell my siblings and friends.

We're trying hard to pay off debt a la Dave Ramsey, but I think that a new laptop computer with a broadband card might be on the top of my list of required pregnancy items!

JoAnna, recovering from daughters' dance recital last night <yawn>

Congratulations, JoAnna!!   

Funny, I'm the oldest of 6 and since we've announced we're having number 7, there has been an odd mix of reactions from my family. It feels strange. It's almost as though we were fine until we passed the number of children my parents had. Weird... I understand the pressure thing you mentioned.

Later, we'll have to compare baby names. It seems we have a few that are very similar.   

God bless you and your family!

This is funny. I am one of seven and my dad's reaction to us announcing number eight was how competitive I am and it wasn't really necessary to outdo my parents. He was joking, of course! He actually took this announcement better than the last two.

How rare it must be these days for the children to have more kids than their parents!
