Oh my word! I saw your status on Facebook and thought that you might just be pulling a fast one on us. But I see by the photo that it's very, very true. Congratulations!! I'll definitely be praying for you and the whole family.
When you get to my age, you have met a lot of people and I must say that those who have an 'after thought' child have one comment in common. " Looking back, it was the very best thing that ever happened to us." We are just thrilled and we are here for you, as always. Besides, look at all these friends who commented. If you carefully read between the lines, they are all saying that they will babysit for any time. Right gang? :-)
I agree with Terry. My last one was completely unplanned but she has brought so much joy to our lives and has become everyone's "baby". And, of course I'll babysit...of course considering the geography problem that may not be possible, but I'm here for ya!!
I remember what my very excited 7 year old son said when we were surprised by our 4th child. "God must love us a whole lot to surprise us like this". He viewed Emily as a carefully planned and perfectly executed surprise gift to our family. Congratulations on your surprise. God must love you a whole lot!! Jenn
As you know I'm very excited for you - and the fact that someone will get to use all my baby stuff! I'd be feeling the same way if it was me. I love what Lang6 said - you must be very loved indeed! You are a fabulous mom and your kids are so cute - we welcome another one and I'd love to babysit!
I echo Canadian Kristin's response! Just so wonderful to believe! Oma and Opa said that is GOOD! They are very happy for all of you. Life has just gotten more exciting with this anticipation.........PTL
NO WAY!!!! AAaaahhhhh. Wow. I'm speachless. I will be praying for you and this very unexpected surprise that will be very much loved. Hope that you recover from the shock soon and take care of yourself. See you Sunday. Love and Tons of Prayers for peace and understanding.
I think it's great!!!! I've got smiles all over my face for you..... and I think you, Keith, Nathan and Chad are in for an exciting adventure that is going to last a lot longer than Disneyland! Our love to you, Uncle Ken and Aunt Herta
Rachel and Keith, Congratulations! You will never be sorry! This child will be a special blessing. Uncle Walt was an afterthought and look at him. The best of the bunch! :) Love, Your old Auntie Gaye
Well, you know how delighted we are for you already! But just had to add to the comments too and say it again!And speaking as one who is 34 and mother to a four month old, you are not OLD!!!!!!!!!!!! In our thoughts and prayers as always xo
A new baby! What a wonderful gift from God! I will be praying for you guys, and that this will be a healthy pregnancy, little to no morning sickness, and energy for each new day ;)
Ok... WOW!!! I couldn't believe my eyes when I read this! I'm so excited for you Rachel!! It all will take time to sink in I'm sure. Now, hey - you're not an old mom - Look at me - 34 and 2 under 3! You already are a wonderful mom, and this new one will be such a blessing! You'll be in my prayers!
Wow! I saw your status on Facebook awhile ago but it didn't cross my mind that you were talking about yourself. So funny! I don't think you're an old Mom, either and from what I've been reading, you're a GREAT Mom, so this new little one will be lucky to have you in his/her life. Praying for you all as I'm sure this will be an adjustment, but a wonderful one, I'm sure.
Congratulations! We are thrilled for you and your famiy...and wish you just a lot of fun times ahead with your growing family! and some precious moments as well! So great! Elma

As the element of surprise wears off...take it from me, both having been and having had an afterthought, there is hope.
