Little Williams #5 coming soon!!

Well, I have to say that it has been quite fun to just hold back on letting everyone know that we are expecting our 5th little Williams around Halloween! Being so far away from family, it's not hard to keep a secret like this. When I went to visit my sister Edlyn and help her with her triplets (see below) I was in my 7th and 8th week. Miraculously I made it through that trip with hardly a bit of nausea, only to have it hit in full force the day I returned. I figured since I would be seeing my parents and 2 of my 5 siblings at the end of May, I mine as well just wait to tell them then. It was so fun! Edlyn looked down at my pokey little tummy and said "Um, Gina, um that looks like...". I was 16 weeks when the news came out. We even waited to tell J.D.'s parents who are serving a mission right now in Independence, MO. until after we found out from the ultrasound who this little one is. BUT, that turned out to be inconclusive. I would lie if I said I wasn't totally crushed that we couldn't tell Karsen, Kimball, Camille, and Kathleen if they were going to have a brother or a sister. Kimball so sweetly said, "Well Dad, I guess we just weren't supposed to find out today." He soothed my heart. SOOOO, I am now in my 22nd week, showing beautifully for all to see, and feeling the wonderful movements within that are mine to treasure. I must say that I feel terrific, no major pains, just the tiredness that comes when your pregnant and have 4 other little ones needing their mommy's attention. I have never fallen asleep so fast at night. It is an amazing and humbling reality to know that our family is almost all here - just 4 more months and our family will be complete.
