   Really? For some reason I recall you being the one to talk me into loading *FIVE* kids into the car, to make the trip to town, to buy the test last Wednesday… And then bugging me *ALL WEEK* to post about it! Or am I mixing you up with another Regina? LOL! 😉

   CONGRATULATIONS, Jessica! May God continue to bless your growing family. Being a family of eight is great! Although, I have to admit that I am looking forward to “officially” being a family of nine in a couple of weeks.

   You and baby will be in my prayers!

   I have heard that last one, Regina, so many times — from strangers even! The lady who bought our couch even dared say, “You know what causes that, right?” I smiled, sweet little Catholic lady that I am ;), and said, “Yeah, and we are really good at it.”

   I am so happy for you Jessica! And don’t forget that if you need ANYTHING you call me. I mean it, you hear?

    Oh, Jessica!!! How absolutely, positively, definitely, beyond wonderful!!!!

    And believe it or not, at the ripe ol’ age of 44, I’m jealous…

    May God bless you and keep you, praying that our Lady will wrap you in Her mantle and protect you throughout this pregnancy.

    BTW…I did wonder about the Preggie Pops. In a large, traditional, Catholic family it’s always just a matter of time!!

    Blessings!

    Hi! I am a daily reader of your blog and posted a few comments here and there….
    Congrats on the pink double line! yipee 🙂
    If you need any advice-ha ha- (since from your background…you can give me and others lots!!)—we just had our 6th baby 3 weeks ago-our oldest is almost 8–so I totally understand!
    overwhelming? yes
    scared? yes
    in awe? yes
    but what a God given miracle!
    BTW- my first 4months- i felt awful and i pray you do not! but if you do-again, I understand!!
    God bless.
    p.s. How did the kids react? and how did you tell them?

    Thank you everyone!!

    Yes, the “secret” lasted about 2 days. In fact, it was only a day before we told our kids.

    The funny thing was, I think they already knew. Coming home from town last Wednesday (the day I found out) Rascal said, “Mom, you’ve been sick a lot lately, do you think you are going to have another baby?” I said, “Maybe! I guess we will see… Do you want me to have another baby?” To which they all replied “YES!!!!” And Twinkle Toes added, “I really want you to have a baby girl so I can have another sister!” (She has been saying that ever since we were in the doctors office for my ultrasound and the tech said it was a boy — she responded, “Momma, next time can we have a girl?” The tech had a look of shock on her face! It was funny!) Anyway, after that they started noticing every time I got sick, and said at dinner, “Mom, are you sure your not pregnant? You’ve been throwing up a lot and your not sick!”

    So, we gave in and told them, but then told them that it was a “secret.” I am horrible at keeping my pregnancies a secret, but hubby wanted to, so we thought we would try.

    The next day after Mass, hubby told Father and a couple friends the news. Rascal glared at him from across the table and then got up and walked over and said, “Daddy, since you told Father our secret, can I tell my friends?” (pointing to his two little friends across the table). Hubby said sure. The “secret” was out! 🙂

    I am considered “high risk” for my pregnancies, and I have been sick, so I would really appreciate any prayers you all can send my way!

    God Bless!

    Regina and Jessica, one of my favorites said by my fathering in law–“That’s what you get for laying on your back!” Crude, I know. Funny, yes!

    I’m also glad this isn’t a secret anymore. Regina tried to pass this picture off as her own pregnancy test to trick me.

    Jessica, many congrats to you and Sean. Just think, another gorgeous child to bring into this world! You two make beautiful children!

    I pray you feel better soon.

    You know how when ladies are around each other long enough, their cycles tend to merge? Well, in this blog world it’s like one pregnant woman after another. I’m just wondering when the surprise will be on me! (not trying, but obviously open)

    So congratulations Jessica! I am so happy for you and your openness to life.

    And watch out all readers – you may be next!

    How on earth did I miss this post yesterday? Congratulations again! So this is how you get 36 comments on one entry…hmm…

    I laughed at Regina’s comment; we’ve heard all of those and we only have four! The one that missed posting on here was, “Boy, you’re brave,” said with the look of trepidation, especially when they follow up with, “Do you want more?” and I say, “I hope so!” I cannot believe what people will say!

    We’ll pray for a healthy baby, pregnancy, and delivery!
