Good things come in surprise packages!

I wrote this when I first found out (I just published it) but this kind of news can be told over and over. Yes it's true, I'm going to have another baby. I'm going to turn 40 next week, I have grey hair and bifocals, but who cares? I'm happy to grow my heart to love another person into our family.

We've told our family this weekend and our friends, and we've had mixed reactions (someone told me I was stupid!!!) but although we are surprised, we are ready to open our hearts to the possibilities. We know that every child that comes into your family adds their own flavour and love and that we wouldn't be without any of them. Yes I'm older, but hopefully I'm wiser!

Yes our home will be a circus... four kids, two dogs and three cats. But our home was never going to be boring. I've always said that the best thing you can do for your kids is have more kids and now I'm getting to put this into practise.

I grew up in a family with a big age gap between kids, and we loved our little sisters with a passion. My brother and I agree that the girls were the best thing that happened to us, so I know that this little one will be great for our kids too.
