Are you done?

The last time I blogged, I was announcing my 5th pregnancy.

My 5th child in 8 years of marriage.

5 kids under the age of 7.

5 kids by the age of 27.

Our family would be a family of 7!
When I found out I was pregnant, I was a little surprised by the timing, but excited to meet the new member of our family. By the time the morning sickness set in, I was less excited, and more in the mode of survival. It's hard to take care of 4 little children and a house while you are feeling like crap! By 4months pregnant that wore off, and I was able to actually enjoy(for the most part) the new life that was growing in me. I tried to savor every little thing. I kept telling myself "This is your last pregnancy so make sure you remember it!" When people would ask me, "Are you done?" I always answered "YES!"

Of course I'm done, right? Why wouldn't I be. As much as I would love to be Michelle Duggar...I'm not.

Though the last part of pregnancy was painful and hard on my body, I must admit,
I MISS IT!

I really enjoyed feeling the life I was carrying move inside my body. The connection between two people who have never met face to face.

On May 6th I went in for a routine Dr.'s apt. and he sent me in to L&D to see if I was in labor. As I called my mom to tell her the news, I couldn't help but tell her the truth. The truth is that I was tearing up, actual tears, not out of fear, but out of the simple fact that I may never be pregnant again. I kept rubbing my belly trying to savor the moment. This chapter of my life may be over.

Turns out, I was in labor, and by 4:30 that evening I had my beautiful son,

Elijah Tutuila Moala

6lbs. 7 oz

He is so sweet! I am so thankful that he is here, blessing our family with his wonderful spirit. He was meant to be ours!

I'm thankful that the recovery from this C-section has been better then last time around.

I'm thankful for family and friends who helped us care for the rest of the crew, and fed us during the last few weeks.

I'm thankful that I have had my hubby home for two whole weeks to hold down the fort.

(He's a pretty HOT Mr. Mom if you ask me!)

I'm thankful that I have been able to nurse this son of mine, especially since he may be my last.

I'm thankful that the transition has been easy for my children, and that they love their little brother!

So, as for the question I have heard A MILLION times...

"ARE YOU DONE?"....................................

I really don't know. Some days I am, some days I'm not. I guess it's between The Lord, Vita, and I.

Only time will tell.......................
