Here We Grow Again!

We're traveling on the East Coast now, we have a full camper with 5 little boys, a husky and hauling our event supplies everywhere we go.

Some days it feels way too crowded, and I wanna downsize AGAIN.

And some days, where everything just feels so perfect, nothing can go wrong and this life is all about everything simple!

And just when everything starts to feel totally in place, we get those subtle moments of asking ourselves, and our spouse "Who are we missing?"

Or we jump in the car as a family and I have to recount, because it feels like were One Child Short!

Or that moment, as a mama, I'm at the park with my boys, and i hear a baby crying and Instantly freak out inside, assuming the infant is mine.

No... none of these were the per-cursor to this news, in fact, The news came much earlier. I was waking up every morning for a week straight feeling totally annihilated!

Smells made me want to vomit. I couldn't think about certain foods. Something that sounded appealing yesterday, grossed me out today. It was horrible.

And traveling across the country, The driving was NOT fun at all.

It was in this moment, I decided to drop everything and race to the drug store for two of those tests. and the results were VERY clear!

We're having a baby!

Oh my goodness, We are having our sixth child!

I still can't believe it! I'm still a very young mama. with 5 boys under my belt at age 27, adding another one Before i turn 28?! I seriously did not think THAT far ahead! Hahaha! Yet somehow, every moment that goes by, it feels totally right, that the timing Is NOW for this little one to arrive, and the time couldn't have been more perfect!

And YES, I have heard all the things from family and friends and complete strangers...

"You should stop traveling" "You are going to stress yourself out too much"

"You guys could have planned this better"

"You need to prioritize better"

oh the list continues!

To be totally real with you though, All the comments I have received thus far, are identical to the comments we have been receiving since we made the decision to sell our home, purchase a camper, attempt our hand at some land, have that slap in our face, travel the country, teach families and communities how to live a regenerative life. The comments have not stopped coming. They grow each month, yet our mission is bigger, and We so understand that no one can see the bigger picture. No one will understand fully what we are doing and why. And we have to be okay with that, so we can continue to life totally within our purpose here.

Man, what an Adventure!!

It feels so surreal! And it will, until I get an ultrasound, and hear this sweet baby's heartbeat!
