Oops . . .

As usual, I have been having computer problems. This time it is two viruses
that ate my hard drive. I have been offline for over a month, and it will
probably be close to that before I get it back.

And I really miss "talking" to everyone here . . . and I need some support
right now . . .

Because #5 is unexpectedly on the way!

I have told no one IRL yet. Not even my husband, who will not be (I don't
think) pleased. Not that he doesn't want another baby--just a couple of weeks
ago he said that he would like another, if we didn't have to worry about money.
He loves babies; he will just be worried about our finances, a fair worry,
since I don't have medical insurance.

And my sister's wedding is April 17, and here I've been dieting to fit into my
strapless bridesmaid's dress, and now I'll be 2.5 months pregnant then, and my
stomach is sticking out already now. I don't want to tell my family before the
wedding, because I don't want to steal any of the limelight, and because they
will all freak out with worry after what happened last time.

So I've known for a week, and just feel like I have no one I can tell. It's a
strange feeling to have such a big secret, that ought to make people happy, but
that I'm afraid won't. So that's why I came here to tell all of you. :-)

Oh wow! Congratulations!

Congratulations on your unexpected little one. I hope once you tell your
DH he is happy. It is almost never a good time to have a baby, there is
always something that could be a problem, or things that could be better.

Best wishes

Congratulations, Leslie. I am the fourth of five children myself and my
parents wouldn't have traded any one of us for the world.

Thanks, Larissa. That is SO true. We wouldn't have any yet if we had waited
for some optimal time.

Thank you, Nancy!

Thank you, Mary Ellen. I know everyone will love the baby when it arrives. I
just dread the telling part. :-(
