Today I'm the mother of 4 teenagers

It's happened before, having 4 teenagers. It was when my 4th child turned 13. I was thinking back to 13 years & a few months, the beginning of 1995. I just found out I was pregnant and very excited even though many people asked me if I figured out where they were coming from or they told me I could stop now. I knew this baby was someone very much wanted and prayed for. I had always thought that I would have at least 3 kids. Then I thought well maybe 4 kids because the world we live in is very even. You know, 12 eggs in a dozen, 10 hot dogs to go with 8 hot dog buns. It made perfect sense to have an even number. In 1987 my dh and I decided it was time to start our family and it seemed that all the women in my family, it's still true, have very little problems getting pregnant. It was taking longer than we expected and I asked the Lord when will I get pregnant. That night I had a dream, I was holding a very small infant in my arms and I said "Kids, lets go!" And out they came... I started counting one, two, 3 & 4 looked like twins. Then I realized that the one I was carrying was number 5. I woke the next morning so excited to tell my hubby that we were going to have 5. He was happy just to have one on the way, which happened shortly after, but he was sure I was just wishing. Zachary came into our lives and really stirred things up. He started talking right away, my oldest started telling me shortly after that it was a mistake to teach him. He was always the center of attention because he was small and cute. Happy Birthday Z
