Thank you

I have been inundated with well-wishes via phone calls, text messages, and emails. Thank you so much for the messages of encouragement (and some concerns as to my mental state!)

Here are several of my answers to many of the questions I've received:

No, I really don't think I'm all that crazy (well, maybe a little.)

Absolutely, I will have my hands full (but my heart too.)

I'm glad it's me and not you, too (I wouldn't wish this nausea on anyone.)

Yes, I have counted my children and yes, I know it will be six kids (please, give this Aggie a little credit.)

I don't know where we will put him/her. (Somebody may end up living in the front dining room that doesn't have a dining room table yet.)

No, we're not trying to overpopulate the earth (just outnumber the idiots.)

and Yes, I really do know what causes this (so don't stand too close to me or drink our water.)

I am, as I've told many of you, cautiously optimistic that all will go well. At my age when much can go wrong, I'm just hoping for a healthy baby. I will do all I can and will keep you posted.
