munchkins505 replied: Happy for you.
kimberley replied: thanks everyone. i truly appreciate your support.
there are a couple of reasons we haven't told anyone. the first being that i m/c at the end on 2007 and it was a very violent and devastating experience. it started while visiting my dad right after he had major back surgery. he was quite upset that i only stayed an hour and i never had the heart to tell him why we left so soon. i have had weight and hormone issues since which led to mild depression. it's still hard for me to believe i am this far. i had an u/s around 7+ wks and the tech wouldn't let me see the screen or hear the hb so i feared the worst. my doc went on holidays and i didn't get the results for over a month. i am still worried and want to wait til after the 20wk u/s before announcing anything.
secondly, our families will not be thrilled. both our families do not agree or understand why we have a large family. they think we are irresponsible and ruining our lives. they just don't understand that it only takes a few years of sacrifice (the hard years) but the rewards of a house full of laughter and love is well worth the sacrifice. i know my mother has always regretted having kids. it held her back from her dreams. i wish she'd understand i am not her and this IS my dream. i am still digesting this myself, kinda scared because i am almost 37, and am not ready for the looks of disappointment and lectures. i think they'd react better if i had a terminal illness 
otherwise, life is good. work is hectic now but we are slow thru the winter and i am due in march. J is over the moon excited and praying for a boy. the kids are all great. Jacob won his baseball championships, James is having a great school year, Jade is becoming more diva by the day lol and K... well the school will not be the same now that she is there lol. her JK teacher is the same Jade had and she keeps remarking how "different" K is. (in other words Jade was so quiet and K is nuts lol). J has been doing well at his job. he was working midnights and it was killing him so they offered him afternoons. he should switch soon which is good for all of us.
Tara, the kids are used to my scent sensitivity and motion sickness so seeing me sick is almost normal for them lol. but work has been eying my belly and whispering to each other wondering if i'm pg. guys are so dumb lol.
sorry for the novel and thanks for reading. (i missed the emoticons lol)
munchkins505 replied: Hey, I don't know you but just want to say that I'm really happy for you. We've been trying to conceive for the last 3 years and it's mostly frustrating. You must be so excited. Congratulations and all the best!
PrairieMom replied:
I get where you are coming from . My mom is less than thrilled about me having #3. She thinks I have my hands full with the 2 I have running around, and I totally do, but I just couldn't see myself only experiencing the wonder and joys of pregnancy only twice. I knew the first time I held Ben that I would be having 3.
It totally casts a shadow over the whole thing when people are less than supportive. 
I'm 10 weeks in and already annoyed at all the " wow! was this planned?!?! comments. 
coasterqueen replied: Congrats Kimberley!!!
mummy2girls replied: CONGRATS!!!!!
Hillbilly Housewife replied: Holy smokes lady! WTG!
The heck with them. I waited til I was about 5 months before really telling anyone I was having Naomie... because of the same reasons you're describing. I don't know what the heck my mom was so annoyed about, I mean it's not like she ever watches them, she lives less than 10 minutes away and she only sees them on their birthdays for about 20 mintues, Christmas, and Easter.
kimberley replied: lol my mom lives on the other side of the country and sees them for once or twice a year!
BAC'sMom replied: CONGRATS!!
A&A'smommy replied: WOW I can't believe people are really like that Anyway I'm VERY excited for you!! I always wanted a big family but I married the wrong kind of person to have one
moped replied: Awesome and exciting news Kimberely!!!!! CONGRATS to you all!!!
Everything will work out just great and soon you will have your little baby in your arms!
Thanks for the update too -
Danalana replied: Congratulations, Kimberley!
I'm sorry your families won't share in the excitement, but what a wonderful blessing So excited for you!
3xsthefun replied: Congrats Kimberly!!
momofone replied: Awww thats great news!!! Glad to see you back - keep us up to date with how you are doing. 
youngmomofone replied: Congratulations!!! I know the feeling of not supportive family members. My dad is still pissed at me and this is number for us!
munchkins505 replied: There are people like that. Stop at 2, heck, 1 is enough, and so on. You shouldn't what other people think or say affect you. I mean, yeah, she's your mom after all. But at the end of the day, you have your own family, and that's what matters.
munchkins505 replied: Of course, it would be difficult at first. I mean, that's given. But give it a few years, it would eventually be easier. Somebody said that all the fun and laughter would be worth the hardships, she's right.
luvmykids replied: CONGRATS! And thanks for the update, so good to hear everyone is well!
~Roo'sMama~ replied: Oh wow CONGRATULATIONS!! I'm sorry your family isn't being more supportive. Here's to a happy and healthy 5 more months to you! It's good to hear from you again... I'm glad to hear everyone is doing so well!
