Well, it's official! I am nauseous, dehydrated, and my clothes already feel too tight.

We are expecting our 8th sweet blessing around Christmas. This will be December baby #4, something about March!

The kids are so excited, even ds 15's best friend is thrilled. He said "Wow, I get another little brother or sister. That's great! " Of course, that was after the shock wore off, he has never met anyone with eight kids.

I am a little nervous. We wanted this baby, of course. But now I am worried that we were too impulsive and rushed ahead too soon. Emily will be one on Friday. These will be my closest babies. She is still a baby, and Kateri, at three and a half, is still so needy too. Colette, at five, is such a handful and I worry that she already feels pushed aside sometimes. I am second-guessing, worrying that I am cheating them out of my time.

Please pray for my peace of mind and my pregnancy. I was so sick with Emily for months. I know I can put up with it, as long as I keep the goal in view. But boy, it would be nice to ONLY be nauseous, dehydrated and sore!

Thanks so much! Now back to the threads on morning sickness, home management and maternity skirts.

Molly - Congrats!!!! Prayers coming your way. I know the feeling of wondering if they are too close together. It is hard when they are babies but it gets better!!

I hope you are feeling well.

When is your due date? I am due Dec. 26th!!!! Our first December baby.

Congrats again

Yeah, I know, many of you move much faster than we do! Mine are all about two years apart, with a big gap between six and seven, more than two and a half years!

Of course, I picture those of you with really close babies as being extremely organized, patient and holy. All of which I am not. I feel with each one, things get a little crazier.

Molly -

Congratulations! My first 2 are 15 months apart, and I am definitely NOT patient, organzied or holy! That's why we waited and spaced #3 to 26 months! JK. Praying for both your peace of mind and your pregnancy.
