how my children responded to the big surprise
Many of my children said charming things when we revealed our big surprise to them.
Eight year old Matt:
"I thought you were too old!"
Seven year old, Boonlight Sonata :
"I want to see a picture. What does the baby look like at this time?"
Beaming with joy, five year old Benedicta said:
"I am so happy that you are having a baby."
(She was the first to divulge that Daddy spilled the beans to the children.)
Then she started expressing her concern that I was eating enough.
“I’m glad you had a big breakfast this morning. You need to eat enough.”
Three year old Ginger:
Nothing, no questions, no comments
Eleven year old Figaro also didn’t say much just fidgeted while the others spoke to me.
Thirteen year old Ponytail:
"You know one day at Church I was struck that I don't have a biological brother. I prayed for one."

SUCH JOY!!!!
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
Wish I could have been there to see their faces!
Oh, I just love this. Thank you so much for sharing your family with us.
I am still reeling with surprised joy and thanksgiving! That is so amazing what 'Ponytail' said. Thanks for sharing.
That was a lovely posting Helen, a delightful, interesting read and then Ponytail's response was very special.
We cannot forget how powerful their prayers are. Makes me think of Jenn's little boy and his great desire for a sibling and his fervent prayers for an answer.
The children's responses are priceless! We join in your family's surprise, joy and happiness!!!
What a wonderful miracle, Helen! Many prayers for a healthy and happy pregnancy...Hugs to you!
