Four plus one

This is the picture on my computer desktop right now.

I love this picture. And I love my kids something crazy. But I didn't put up this photo just
because I love it, but because we are in the final days of just having four children. My heart
tells me the days might be coming to a close even more quickly than we planned. Mostly I'm
excited. But other times I feel nervous about being the best mom to my five that I can.
And then I take a deep breath, look at this picture and realize my love for these four
and their dad is so great, it will help me to do anything I need to, in spite of my
feelings of inadequacy. Plus I have my Heavenly Father and prayer.
And all of that is more than enough.

My already love for this sweet baby boy growing inside me often brings me to tears.

Like right now.

Four plus one.

Five is definitely my lucky number.
