Holding each one.

Sometimes, you just need to be held. It is so easy to hold Kapaun all day. I know how much the other children still love sitting on my lap, holding onto my arm while we read, and holding my hand while we walk.

In my head, he still fits.  Right?

Her too!

Rose too!

Always Zellie!

Forever Vianney!

Tiny Clairvaux fits just right.

Her forever!

Him forever, too!
Can't wait to hold you in February!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





You know how I am about these things!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are all eager to hold you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  4. Congratulations!!! So many times over. I'm crying. I was just thinking about this today, that Kapuan is getting so big and maybe it's time...and you must have read my mind even though you don't know me. I'm so happy for all of you. Each one of your babies is so beloved. He or she has no idea how blessed he is to be coming into such a wonderful family.

  17. Congratulations! and totally agree with holding each child -- he/she needs cuddle time with mommy not just the baby. ;)

  18. Ahhh! Wonderful, joyful news. My arms got a workout from the first child, and I haven't looked back. I don't think I'll need a gym workout because of all of the toting, holding, carrying, and loving. So, so happy for you!

  21. and names? Have you decided, or do you have any names in mind? You two manage to find beautiful but uncommon names... Would you post something telling us about names, decisions, and where do you get ideas from? For example, how do you manage to you turn names of male saints into girl names, like clairvaux and vianney??!?! i1m intrigued!

  22. I was just thinking as I came onto your site after being gone a while on vacation that Dominic had said months ago that he was expecting an announcement of a new baby in May… What a delightful surprise to discover how right he was!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Wow! I didn't see that coming with this post (although I was thinking that you would be expecting soon!). I just thought how sweet to hold even your older ones as I am convicted that I need to do the same...remembering that they still need me, not just the baby of the family! Congrats and thanks for the bit of mommy wisdom...a reason why I love reading your blog!

  24. I wanted to add that I love your announcements. I remember last time's "baby's new clothes!"

    ReplyDelete
  25. YEAH! I honestly was just wondering, last week, when we'd hear about a new Boever! Congratulations! Prayers for a healthy pregnancy, momma and baby. And if it's anything else, prayers for God's Will there as well. ;) So happy for you all!

  26. Hi Lindsay,
    I'm just an occasional reader of your blog - I don't have a blog myself, and our sociopolitical views differ significantly - but I always really enjoy reading your posts. I couldn't NOT comment today. Congrats, that's wonderful news! I'm happy for all of you!

  27. Congratulations! We too would have been expecting a February baby (our 11th), but we are in the process of losing it. :(

  28. Congratulations! Will they be 17 months apart? Most of ours are 12 to 13 months apart. Isn't being a mother awesome? So happy for you!

  29. Ever since someone commented on a recent post about how they thought you were going to announce your next pregnancy, I have been thinking, "hmm…well, that seems about right!" Oh Lindsey, so happy for you! I will be praying for your little one. You are such a treasure and font of wisdom in the blogging community and I always love checking your blog. Grow, baby, GROW!!!!!!

    P.S. Oh my goodness, I can't wait to hold our little one…9 weeks from today (if not sooner!)…yeah for babies!!!!!!!

  30. Your family is beautiful! Thank you for being so open to life. Congratulations on the new wee one being hugged on the "inside." Just loved the pictures...so much love here. May your family always be blessed! Isn't it awesome that our children live FOREVER! I was unable to have biological children, but I have such a great love for large families. They always look like the happiest ones :)

  37. Oh yay! Remember the post way-back-when when Dominic said he calculated it and really was looking forward to such announcement in May? I've been waiting too... But man I'm jealous- I haven't even cycled yet! And I agree with the previous comment about you having a "glow". I wondered the same thing myself. CONGRATS!!!!!!!

  40. Oh my goodness gracious, congratulations!!! So thrilled for you! I wish you could tell me your secrets, I have three amazing little blessings (oldest 3, middle just turned 2, and youngest is 2 months) and I cannot for the life of me imagine how you do it; I feel so overwhelmed with just my three! You must be a SUPER MOM, I admire you so much!

  44. You are such a beautiful Handmaid of the Lord! Are you still nursing your son? I have never been pregnant and nursing before, I think that would be very intense. I pray that you get the rest that you need and have a great pregnancy!

  45. Congrats! Lindsay I just love reading your blog. Its obvious you are a prayerful and grace filled women. I know myself and so many others would love to know practically how you do it. Really. Do you have household help? Are you kids excellent helpers? Do you have a tutor. I have 4 under 7 myself and its intense. How do you do all the cleaning and laundry and cooking and schooling with so many little ones? What shortcuts to you take to make family life easier. How do you handle the troubles of pregnancy when so many little need you and rest is so important? God Bless!
