And I understand the "last baby" thing. Did you know I'm pregnant again? Yep. #7. And I really think this is it for me. This has been a hard pregnancy physically, mentally and emotionally.<br /><br />It's another girl. That means 5 girls and 2 boys. Our poor boys! Hahaha!<br /><br />Anyway, so glad all is well in the Ryan house!

I stumbled onto you blog when I googled road schooling.<br />I totally loved reading about your family and adventures and was intrigued that we seemed to be pregnant at the same time. I had a healthy baby girl ( Stella) on Aug 21!<br />She was 4 weeks early but doing fine.<br />This makes 7 for us but she was a HUGE surprise! I'm 43, my oldest is 22! Thanks for keeping me entertained and positive during a very difficult pg. We too are so happy with our little bonus! Congrats to you and Fallon is lovely! <br />Best, Suesixgunsuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974353928501860931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397026679704324535.post-74506950915791165422011-11-18T11:55:04.560-08:002011-11-18T11:55:04.560-08:00Hi Bridget

As another c-section mother ~ yes, I understand the pain & I'm glad you took some time to recover. What a blessing you had skin-to-skin time while in recovery ~ I never was able to hold my babies until we were back at the hospital ward. With the twins it was 8 hours after they were born until I could see them again.<br />Enjoy this time ~ as you said it goes much too fast.<br />Have a wonderful day<br />Blessings<br />Renata:)Renatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13546331512433403550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397026679704324535.post-49917479671679290192011-11-17T20:40:23.152-08:002011-11-17T20:40:23.152-08:00Love the update and the pictures.

I think that was the worst of having surgery. That and other things that might be TMI. :)<br />We are expecting number five but my heart is set on six. Every time someone asks me if we are finished I feel like saying "We want one more."<br />The only thing is the surgery though. Its not the kids, its the surgery. I don't think my body can handle many more csections either. We will see how I do after this one.<br />Thanks for sharing your heart. I think you are beautiful inside and out.
