We are pleased to announce that God has graciously gifted to us another baby! We will be planning another homebirth Lord willing! We are excited to see if Rachel will finally get a sister or if our basketball team of boys will be complete =).
Psalm 127:3-5 3 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

When was your last son born? I can't even remember anymore. Does having 6 children make you nervous? Do you think you will keep going? I understand accepting Gods blessings but what if you get 15 children? Just curious because I deal with this myself.
Congratulations to you and your family, Kelly!!!!!
Congratulations! What a blessing.
Thank you all =) My last baby was born Feb. 2013 so this baby will be 19 months away from the last one =). I am not nervous about having 6 children. My mother was 1 of 6 and my dad was 1 of 13! I think this generation and the last one are the only ones who seem to be worried about having too many children, before that having children was a blessing no matter how many! Birth control was illegal 100 years ago and even in the 60's it was still controversial but now it is more common, thus leaving us non birth control users in the minority and made to look crazy to some =).
So happy for you!
Congratulations! I recently had my fourth and kept wondering when your next announcement would be. So exciting!!!
Sidenote: how does your extended families feel about your leaving your womb in God's hands? I ask because we have run into some comments about "wisdom" and if what we are doing is actually wise and when it comes from Christian family it really hurts, so just wondering.
Sorry didn't read your comment before I posted. But my mil is 1 of 9 and she is a strong Christian woman and she is the one saying giving my womb to God may not be wise. She keeps telling family we are done and it's hurtful because if God would allow me to become pregnant again I would fear telling her. My mother just doesn't really say anything...lol
You are a confident woman though. Every time we add to our family I feel like it takes me forever to figure everything out. Our newest little guy is 3 months and I still haven't figured out a new homeschool schedule!
Lindsey congrats on #4!! God is good! My dad thinks I have too many kids....lol. My in laws and mom think it's great =) If anyone had anything negative to say they haven't told me yet...lol. I should write a blog post about the issue of trusting God for the size of your family =).
