You Might Be a Copeland if...

- you drive a minivan, though you once swore you never would

- you love the KU Jayhawks

- you're used to being around girls

- you're prone to dance wildly at a moment's notice

- you dream in pink

- you speak sarcasm fluently

- you can name several, or all presidents in order

AND...








- you know things are cheaper by the dozen, but you want to find out if things are also cheaper by the HALF dozen!






On January 12, this is how my husband found out we were expecting. I made up this (then) fake blog post while sitting next to him on the couch. I said, "hey can you take a look at this and tell me what you think?" Because at our house it's very common for the two of us to ask each other to look over/proof-read/edit/whatever-you-want-to-say... so this didn't seem out of the norm for him.

He took the computer from me and read the above post. He then looked over at me and smiled. I then smiled, and the rest is history.

I've had two check-ups--one at nine and one at thirteen weeks. At both appointments the doctor couldn't find the heartbeat, so I've seen the baby twice now. Both times with a sweet heart beating away. The reason we couldn't hear the HB is because my placenta is anterior--basically it is situated between the doppler wand and the baby, thus blocking the thumping sound I so wanted to hear. But that's okay. I'm very happy with my sono pictures.

So there's our news. And I don't think there are many who read this blog who don't already know our special news. But there you have it!

y'all had a much more calm reaction to finding out about #6 than I expected! Congrats to you both! What a blessing! One question: How will you fit six car seats/boosters in your minivans? I know vans are big, but not that big!
