I know she would love to have play dates with someone who doesn't think she is crazy!<BR/><BR/>God's blessings be upon you. <BR/><BR/>Stephaniestephmomof6https://www.blogger.com/profile/09475173235689510811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839413630623850301.post-58415609673144473522008-07-11T13:10:00.000-04:002008-07-11T13:10:00.000-04:00Congratulations, Alice!Congratulations, Alice!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186113760588444851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839413630623850301.post-68076542927256652422008-07-11T08:11:00.000-04:002008-07-11T08:11:00.000-04:00Oh, Mary Alice, I am behind in reading -- but what...Oh, Mary Alice, I am behind in reading -- but what wonderful news for my catching up! (The baby, not the maggots LOL) Congratulations! And, much sympathy for the maggots. That's happened to us once (or twice...), too. My kids seem to think it's some weird kind of nature study when it happens.

Just one of those days. I think I would definitely take poop, though, over maggots. Lol!<BR/><BR/>Uber congrats on #6.

We know why God's blessing you with such a large brood--you can get 5 kids to sleep simultaneously and carry a sixth in your womb while you clean maggots off your property. You can handle anything! Seriously.<BR/><BR/>I'll say some prayers for more relaxing evenings--warm baths, skip the maggots, from now on.Juris Materhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01717212659724234395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839413630623850301.post-21328221374155901802008-07-08T21:50:00.000-04:002008-07-08T21:50:00.000-04:00Oh wow, Congratulations Mary Alice! I first start...Oh wow, Congratulations Mary Alice! I first started reading your other blog when you were at the tail end of your last pregnancy, and so even though I don't "know" you, suddenly your being pregnant again (and so far along!) makes me feel like I've known you for quite a while. <BR/>I was in Manhattan with my three kids yesterday and I was imagining you walking around the city with all of yours, imagining even more that you were still there and that we'd run into you (and I was checking out all the fancy strollers too). <BR/>I've always (always... what has it been, a year?) admired you and was glad to find your blog when I did, and even more glad that you and your friends started Building Cathedrals. It's wonderful to get to read about other young, well educated, stay at home Catholic moms. I only mention the well educated part because I graduated from Stanford and sometimes get to feeling bad that I'm not "using" my degree by staying home and planning to homeschool. It really helps to know that I'm not alone. You have a beautiful family, and thank God for your new blessing.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692366999970728146noreply@blogger.com
