I, like Elizabeth, just turned 40 and wondered if we would be blessed again....and two positive tests later, I can answer, "YES!!". I am a little nervous about a few things that I am hoping you can lift up in prayer....my blood pressure has been creeping up the last few years, and it usually goes up at the end of pregnancy for me. Also, my children have a syndrome that, with our last one, necessitated him having a trach and g-tube and almost a dozen surgeries. I know we will have the inevitable, "You are having more, after everything you have been through?!?" kind of stuff...sigh...but when I look at my sweeties, which one was "too much trouble"? NONE!!!

Pray for peace in my family and for good health for all...

I have been so inspired by all of you, thanks for your prayers.

4 Lads' Mom...okay, now I have to come up with something new for my signature!!!

Oh, you are blessed!
I can relate to your concerns since we have a syndrome in our family too -- but they are all such wonderful blessings, no matter what. It's too bad those around us can't simply rejoice and support!

I love the 4 lads signature -- but mI guess now you'll have 4 lads and 1 lassie, or 5 lads!

Willa, Mom to 6 lads and 1 lassie.

Wonderful news!

My youngest was born right before I turned 41. She just turned 3, which means I will soon be 44 and we are still praying for another!

Congratulations to you 4 Lads Mom!!

As I am nearing the end of my pregnancy at 41 (due in 18 days but who is counting??), I can genuinely tell you--that YOU ARE BLESSED!! I have felt much calmer overall this pregnancy and worried less...and I will pray the same for you!!
