Almost two months ago, I found out that we were expecting baby #6!
What?! Six kids! That's a half dozen!
It was such a surprise! I had already decided we were done and happy with our fab five. I say "I" because Mr. Crawley just goes with the flow and is happy with whatever I am happy with. (Thank you for always being that way, Caleb; I truly love that about you.)
But of course I wanted another. I ALWAYS want another! Not just a baby, though, but another person to add to our family. The more the merrier!
A whole team of kids isn't for everybody, but it is just right for us! Being a wife to Caleb and a mom to the RCC Gang is who I am. That is how I identify myself. Wife and momma. So, what's one more baby?! Hand it over! I got this. Raising kids, cooking and cleaning. I enjoy it! Not so much the cleaning part, but just being a homemaker and taking care of my crew. THAT is what I love to do!
I know people think we are crazy. I get it. And we are! Six is a lot. Five was a lot, and so was 4. This is all I have ever wanted and I couldn't be happier to have a huge family. Some moms and dads choose to have 1 or 2. That's cool, that's their prerogative. Then some people have more. That's cool, too. To each their own, right?
All I can say is that I am beyond blessed and I'm ecstatic to have another precious baby. Some days are hard, but there were hard days when I had only one kid. Heck, there were hard days when I didn't have any kids! 'Tis life.
Our family rocks and we have a whole lot of fun! It's crazy and chaotic and messy and loud, but it's US! It's OUR family. That's how we do.
And besides, more kids means they can work as a team and put their funds together to put Momma and Daddy in a nice nursing home one day. So who's the real winners here?! LOL!
