Congratulation. I am so happy for you and I am sure things are fine.

I hope that things settle down and you can enjoy the new addition soon.

I enjoy all my five kids and evenso they are a handful I wouldn't have it

any other way. What wonderful news.

I knew I had not looked that over!! Congrats! I know exactly what you

mean, I worried the whole time I was pregnant with Mackenzie but she is a

chubby healthy baby girl!! Up to a whopping 10 lbs, BJ weighed 12 lbs at 12

months. She will be 3 months old on the 20th. So relax and just enjoy

being pregnant (if that is possible, LOL).

,

Congratulations on your pregnancy!!! I hope you're feeling well. God

bless you all! I just found out this week that I am also pregnant. It

is my fifth and maybe Steph or Beatrix could tell me if I will have a

life again? We are quite surprised by this and I have found four

children to be overwhelming and now, God willing, it will be five. I

was really ready to move past the baby thing, but....... I'm still very

early into this and have had two miscarriages before my third and fourth

children were born, so, we'll see. I do believe all children are a

blessing, and like Bea wouldn't have it any other way. I'm not trying

to sound unhappy, I guess I'm still in shock.

Anyway, I've noticed that Luke has a couple rather prominent looking

white " patches " on the sides of his tongue and possibly while he was

crying, I noticed there may be some at the back of his throat. Is this

familiar to you all or is it maybe thrush? He sees the Immunologist on

Monday, maybe she will know.

Thanks for the support, Dawn. YES, thank God, when I called my husband

hysterical that I was pregnant again, he was so calm and actually said

he was happy and that God had chosen to bless us again. He said the

only thing he is feeling bad about is that I am feeling so bad (not

physically). Course, he's offered to buy me a new car, new kitchen

cabinets, and dining room chairs, LOL! Still trying to decide if I'm

going to be shallow enough to accept, LOL! If only that would help!

Alice or Hazel might be more helpful.

Kathy,

Even though it was only my 3rd, I felt totally overwhelmed at the thought of

having 3 children and was in shock for at least a month after I found out.

Even though Mackenzie was TOTALLY unplanned for, it helped that dh supported

me and actually got happy about the baby. That is what got me turned around

and I started getting excited about having another baby in the house. I

hope that your hubby is supporting you. I will pray that things work out

for you. I had numerous miscarriages before having my first child and had

one right before my second, I know how tough it is. Take care.

[Guest guest]

Hey, I say take it all, LOL! My dh still has yet to get me another chair

for the dining room table. I did get a mini van though. It helps so much

that he supports you and is happy about it. Right now it is just

overwhelming. Dakota (my 7 y/o) adores Mackenzie and helps an enormous

amount with her.

Hi Kathy;

I love my kids and as you said I was so totally suprised when I became

pregnant with number four. But he was soooo good I just spoiled him

wrotten. We did just about everything to not get pregnant again. But then

when I became pregnant with number five I was so shocked. It took me some

time to get over the initial shock of it all. But then I also got the dirty

looks in the family and the oh my god you are nuts you should know better

and so on. Well the same people also didn't give a damm when was

born so sick.

Well frankly I believe that any child that I have is a blessing and a joy

in my life. When was critical for his first six month of his life

we were so gratefull to just be able to hold and enjoy every moment with

him. I think the one thing that I regret is the fact that for the first

year of s life my parents ended up raising the other four and that I

missed so very much of their life I will never get it back.

But we learn and we adjust and we have made sure to have a happy normal at

home life with as little as possible hospital stays. In some ways we are

stronger and we enjoy life so much more. My kids have learned to respect

life and see the world from a different angle. They don't get spoiled much,

we can't afford it, but believe me they are all happy well adjusted

children I can be proud off. On this rollercoaster road I have made friends

and have know the true friends in my life. I had my moslems friends show up

with christmas gifts one year when was really sick and critical.

They knew we were spending all the days at the hospital and when we got

home there were gifts under the tree for all of them. I guess we are

blessed to have good friends and nurses we have met on the way. So I guess

no matter what happens. There is always a reason for it even when we can't

understand it.

So enjoy the pregnancy and the joy of the baby. I hope that all goes well.

Wish I lived closer and could come help. I love baby's and hubby teases me

alot about it.

Kathy,

Well, first off Congratulations! Yes, you will have a life. But it won't

be the " same " life. Life with five kids is a very FULL one. We've learned

to cherish the chaos and get through the fights the kids invariably have.

You have to laugh louder and harder when those moments come up to get

through the rougher ones.

I wouldnt have it any other way either. We haven't had a dull moment since

we found out K5 was on his way. I too was completely floored with that one

(Kody was really beginning to get sick at that time) but now I can't imagine

life without Killian. His sweet baby kisses and hugs (though now 3 he is

and always will be my " baby " ) get me through many a rough day.

Congratulations again!

Steph.

Kathy-

Congrats!!!!!!! That is wonderful news. I guess that is easy for me to

say. I am sure, after the shock wears off, you will get excited.

About the white patches.....I would say thrush is a great possibility. What

meds is Luke on? AJ gets thrush often from inhaled steroids, antibiotics,

you name it. She sucks two fingers non stop, which then get the thrush and

it spreads and it can be a evil cycle here.

[Guest guest]

Thanks everybody, SO MUCH, for your support. I dread the funny looks

I'm going to get when I tell people it's No. 5, so this support is

great. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Phyllis, Luke sucks a pacifier and isn't on any medication. He only

occasionally takes Benedryl or Zyrtec when his ears are itching him

(ezcema) or sometimes after he throws up the mucous and the offending

food is still in his system, I will give him the antihistimine just in

case the food might bother his gut further down. He sees the

Immunologist tomorrow and I sure am hoping it isn't a waste of time, but

I sure think it will be. I guess with Luke, at this point, it's just a

matter of keeping those foods away from him that make him vomit. You

know, there hasn't been any blood in his vomit yet. So that must be a

good sign. I sure hope he outgrows this stuff or at least doesn't get

worse. He's 17 mos. today!

Sharon, congrat's on the 30 pound weight loss!!! I am extremely

jealous! I'm still 15 pounds overweight and now with the pregnancy it's

only going to go up
