VLOG: Telling our Family we are Pregnant with Baby #5!

January 2, 2017

We are excited to share that we are expecting our fifth baby!
Finding out was the best Christmas present we could have asked for…another sweet little one
meant to be a part of our family. The tie breaker!!
I’m feeling overwhelmed and giddy at the same time. haha.
The joy in our kids’ eyes when we told them was magical and I’m excited to share this pregnancy with them.
We can’t wait to see who this child is going to be and are already head over heals in love!!
Thanks for sharing in our excitement!

Here’s the moment that we shared the news with our kids and my parents!
My parents were in town for Christmas so we were able to tell them in person and it just added to the excitement!
This will be their 14th grandbaby born!
The kids’ reactions were so sweet… I love how Sophia teared up!
Sienna hasn’t stopped rubbing my belly.
Micah’s reaction was as expected…..haha.
Asher is pretty confused about the whole thing but was serious about
wanting to get his hands on that bun and take a bite. ;)

We can’t wait to share this journey with all of you.
Ben and I both grew up in large families but 5 kids feels
like unmarked territory…so feeling a little nervous/excited.
Thankful I have some inspiring mamas to look to for examples of motherhood
as we step into this next stage for our family.
Looking forward to the beautiful memories mixed with the crazy.
Our tribe is growing!
Thankful for this blessing.
