Ralph Baby # 5!

I'm not sure why this picture is sideways since I took it the same way I take all the pictures but anyway. Yesterday I had a bit of a scare. Ellie called to see how I was doing and was worried about the constant "spotting" that has been going on for over a month now. She suggested I call the doctor and explain what was going on. So I did and thought they would just make an appointment for next week but the nurse said, "We'd like to see you today, can you come right in?" So of course I was a nervous wreck. They got me right in and did an ultrasound and the doctor was very relieved to see the baby in the uterus where it should be and to see the fluttering little heart. Hopefully there really is nothing wrong but he told me to come right in if I have any pain or severe bleeding. So, this is probably the earliest I've ever seen any of my kids! Brad claimed this photo for himself so Jake made a copy so he could have one too. They are sooooooo excited!!

I cannot believe five kids! I really do hope everything goes okay since you are no longer a spring chicken! (ha) I am so excited to find out if it will be a little girl to give that Ava some competition. Did they give you a due date?

WOW! Its fun to see a sonogram pic of the baby!! Glad everything is okay now. My pregnancy with Chelsea I had spottings for 2-1/2 months once my progesterone level went up the spottings ceased. I was given weekly progesterone shots once the counts went up the spotting ceased. Before knowing I was pregnant with Chelsea I seriously thought something was wrong I scheduled an appointment, however, the nurse had me in that same day for urine sample. I kept repeatedly telling her "I'm not pregnant." Later that afternoon the same nurse called me back and said, "Congratulations, Mrs. Ralph, you're pregnant!" I got the last laugh on me! Come to find out then I was 8 weeks into the pregnancy and didn't even know it! We're thrilled for you and family! Hugs and Prayers for you!

Yay, congratulations! I've been in awe of you with having 3 children, then little Ava came along and now #5 officially makes you SuperWoman! (Elnora has 5, too, correct?) The way I see it, is after 3 children, really what's one or two or three more? ;)
