it just figures...

well hell. i wrote a long, poignant response that was both heartfelt and witty and the blog wouldn't let me post it as a comment. reminds me of college when i accidentally erased my term paper three times. you would have thought that i would save it as i typed but no, i was an idiot. anyway, here is an abbreviated version of what i wrote- i am at peace with being pregnant again. i always wanted another child and i guess this is the gods' way of telling me the time is now. and i'm Irish catholic so we're used to packing them in tight :) i have not told anyone else yet (except for you ladies) since the timing has not been right. i think that i also had to come to terms with it before i could expect anyone else to. i am so lucky to have ya'll in my life. after 8yrs, i knew that i could count on you to understand. to be completely honest, i am not looking forward to my family's reaction. dan will probably stroke. well, that's a bit of an exaggeration. if we have our fourth girl, then he'll stroke. my mother will be quite surprised but has always been supportive. my sister and brother-in-law, though.... that's where the problems will start. it doesn't help that they have been disappointed and angry at every announcement. but after the initial shock, then they are quite supportive and loving. i think that it will help when i tell them that dan and i will be hiring a nanny. it has been getting too difficult to get babysitters for the 3 girls so 4 will be a monumental task. it's going to kill our finances but we'll find a way. it will also be nice to have someone that i know will be there every week without having to make a dozen phone calls and arrangements. again, i would like to thank you ladies for your support and love. we have been through a lot and have always been able to share our life experiences together. i appreciate our bond more than words can convey love kri
