Our crazy family AND baby #5!

My mother had me when she was very young. Despite the odds against her, she went on to college and got an amazing job. Shortly after I was born, her and my father got married. They didn't have much. Well, they didn't have anything really, but they gave up everything they wanted to get me what I needed. A little over a year after they got married, we brought my new little sister home. Our childhoods were great. We had devoted parents that sacrificed so much to give us everything. We were raised with morals and values, but still spoiled like crazy. Neither of us were planned, but my parents didn't care. They did what was needed to be sure we were okay. When I was 15, they sat my sister and I down and said they needed to speak with us. I jokingly thought they would tell us she was pregnant.
LITTLE SISTER #2!
In August we welcomed little Abbie into our home and I spoiled her like crazy!
In 2008, before I met my husband, my mom sent my friend and I 20 minutes away to pick up McDonald's at midnight. I joked that she was pregnant again....two days later she found out.
LITTLE SISTER #3!
September of 2008, Rebekah was born. She was actually too young to be a part of my wedding! She was not even 3 months old when I got married to the man of my dreams. 
My mom has been my rock with Keeley. Every time the smallest issue happened, I would call her right away and ask what I should do. So, I naturally told her about my appointments as well. I got done with one appointment and dropped Rebekah off at home. We were visiting for a while when Rebekah said "mommy took a test today!"


BABY #5!
My daughter is due July 10. My new younger sibling is due October 6! I don't think our family dynamic could become any stranger. My daughter will have an aunt/uncle that is actually 3 months younger and a school grade below her. I will have a sibling that is 24 years younger. My husband will have a new in-law at almost 30! I thought Rebekah was strange enough!
My parents are 41, I am 23, Sam is 19, Abbie is 8, Rebekah is 4 and a new one on the way!
