“So, you’re pregnant again?” and other questions

I am overwhelmed and thankful for the outpouring of excitement and love surrounding the news of Baby Young #7. You all have made this special time that much more memorable!
Now, to address the many questions that have flooded my inbox ::
Really? Seriously? Are you joking?
Yes. Yes. No. I am most definitely pregnant.
Was this baby a surprise?
In my heart I’ve known that our family was not yet complete, but I imagined that adoption was closer to reality than bearing another child myself. God knows what He is doing and I can honestly say that He did indeed surprise us with this one! Now, to figure out why we donated all of our baby stuff to Goodwill…
How far along are you? When is baby due?
I believe I am close to 10 weeks along, which would make Baby Young due in early October.
Are you sure there’s only one dancing around in there?
No. I haven’t seen a doctor yet, so I suppose there could be more than one. Wouldn’t that be something?
Are you excited?
I am. We all are. God has blessed us beyond my wildest dreams. I don’t know if I will ever know why, but I sure am grateful for His generous gifts in the form of beautiful and healthy children.
How are you feeling?
To be honest, I feel pretty lousy. I’m more than tired and experience waves of nausea all through the day and night. I have to eat constantly, just so I can somewhat function. The biggest problem? I have developed an aversion to most fish. The thought of sushi makes me gag, and I can’t stand the smell of salmon!
What will you drive when baby comes?
I can’t say that we’ll be running out to purchase a larger vehicle, just as we did when we discovered Noah was on his way. Currently our Yukon XL seats eights, but if Ray has his way it will soon seat nine. Our bucket seats in the front will swap out nicely for a bench seat!
Will you blog your way through your pregnancy?
Yes. Just like I write about other exciting news in our lives, I’m sure you will hear all about the development of this most precious child. I’d like to think you hoped I’d say that!
Holy cajoli woman! Congrats!

oh my, I am SOOOOO excited for you all. My Yasmine was born in Oct. (the 5th). She is my baby who had the lung surgeries. So Oct. babies are definitely special ones
This is such a Blessing. If you need anything let me know. You know you are my girl, and if I can help in anyways, I will
I am thinking a virtual baby shower is in order
Take care, don’t worry about not being able to eat fish, there is tons of other great things out there, like ICE CREAM
Maybe we can get Blue Bunny to come out with a Jolly Rancher Ice Cream, so we can eat it together, instead of the alcoholic version we love? lol
Rest up Momma!!!
LUV YA !!!
XOXOXO Beth XOXOXO – PSM
ps. The bench seat in the Yukon, is awesome idea Ray !
