8 Things

OK, so it's more like 7 things and another thing. Whatever works.

8. I left plans to attend Bastyr Medical School when Zorak and I decided to marry, because I knew I couldn't do motherhood and medical school without seriously botching at least one of them.

7. I have not regretted that decision once. Ever.

6. My blood family is a little strange. The traditional curse they cast on me was, "You're going to have five red-headed boys!" Um... okaaayyyy... (They say that like it's a bad thing. I guess in my family of only-one-child-and-please-let-it-be-a-girl, I guess that was the worst thing imaginable.)

5. Zorak's family is all about, well, family. They rock like that.

4. Smidge thinks the thing that would make our family a little better is a puppy.

3. The boys think another baby would do the trick.

2. I think we're going to go with Devons or Dexters when we put cattle on the place.

and the #1 fact about me that most of you don't know...

The boys got it right.

Kiss those babies!

Wow!! Congratulations! I'm with Gem, you win here too. Four wears me out.

Please let me know what it is when you find out. I have BAGs of newborn and 3 month infant boy cloths, plus the things you sent me. They are all yours if you want. Otherwise I still have some girly things to send you.

C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S!!

Cute post. Although when I saw "go with Devons or Dexters" (um, yeah, I was scrolling to the good part) I feared those were name choices. Please don't name the baby Devons.

Love and hugs and kisses and all that mushy stuff to all SEVEN of you!

Donna Boucher said...

Congratulations Dy!!!!

You are such wonderful parents, it's good to have lots.

So excited!

Bob and Claire said...

Well, I am a little late, but I am so excited!!!! Congratulations! I was just thinking you all needed something like a baby to keep you on your toes, because your life is so boring, LOL! : ) Your boys are absolutely right, and I know how excited they must be now (have you told them?). Are you feeling okay? Tired? Nauseous? Anna was born the end of March, and I remember feeling so. very. tired. the end of summer, right when I was really wanting to gear up school-wise. I think we ended up taking most of August off because I kept falling asleep on the couch in the mornings! Anyhow, I am so very thrilled for you!!!!
