Here we go again.....

Yes, it's true! The Hatch's are having another baby!! This will be baby #6 and we are so excited! We are not very good at keeping secrets and told our kids almost as soon as we knew. They were so excited. We told them we had a secret and then said that Sarah was going to be a big sister. Grace got up on her chair and started jumping up and down and clapping her hands. She said, "I know what that means - - We are having another baby!!" Then all the girls got really excited, except for Sarah since she really has no clue what kind of disruption this will bring to her life! Brendan looked excited but didn't say much. I talked to him later and asked him what he thought about it, and he said, "I don't know about having 5 sisters." So I said that it could be a boy, but my mathematically minded son just looked at me and said, "That's a very rare chance, Mom!" Well, I guess I can't expect much more from a boy who has has 4 sisters already. I just told him to pray for a girl this time, since all the other times he prayed for a brother - that obviously must have been working against him!
It was such good news to hear that two of my sisters were expecting just after we are. Melissa and Rachel both announced that they were pregnant just after we were and I couldn't be more happy for them. It truly will be a fun time this fall. We are all hoping and praying for another sister to join us in one way or another - that would truly be the ultimate cherry on the top of this awesome triple decker ice cream sundae!!

I would have to say that wouldn't only be the cherry it would be a whole second desert if another sister joined you all!
We will be hoping and praying too.
