Well, if you didn't already know or didn't see the ticker at the top of my blog...I'll tell you...we're expecting #6 in September!!  Yeah!!  We are so excited...and I am S-O-O-O-O-O sleepy  

So, if you don't see me around here for the next 5 weeks or so (until I hit my second trimester stride and get a bit of energy back), it's because I'm dozing off reading stories to the kids, falling asleep eating lunch, nodding off as I milk Bessie or putting toothpicks in my eyes while listening to my early readers read. 

Thankfully, my kids are VERY excited about this baby and are very tolerant of their sleepy momma.  David (7) is my faithful alarm clock when I get to grab a small nap in the afternoon when the little ones are sleeping but before Bessie needs milked.  He even does the "snooze" function for me...just 5 more minutes, Buddy!  In the daily argument   discussion over whether this will be a pattern breaking boy or a pattern extending girl (B-G-B-G-B-"G"), David came up with the idea that he'd like me to have 5 boys at the same time...then he said, "Wow, Momma, if you had 5 babies in your tummy you'd be so sleepy you'd NEVER get out of bed!" 

So, once I wake up...and after I clean up this house after sleeping for 2 months...I'll get back to my less than consistent blogging...I promise.
