Okay, friend, I have been keeping the biggest secret from you all year, and I'm so excited to finally share it with you today.

I don't think you're ready for this. Are you ready? We had another baby. I found out I was pregnant in April, and the longer I waited to share the news online, the more I felt like I just wanted to keep

this pregnancy close and only share it with those who knew me in real life.

And baby Ray number five was just born.

Baby was due just before Christmas Day, another gender surprise, another homebirth,

and we are all soaking up the newborn snuggles and keeping it so close.

But I wanted to share it with you, my podcast listeners. Can you even handle this?

I mean, what in the world? I have five kids. That is so bananas.

Now, it is going to affect the podcast in the coming months, but not too much.

I, of course, always take January off.

I will be announcing the details of this precious little baby more soon on social media.

But I wanted to tell you first. And until then, we cherish your prayers as we adjust to being a family

of seven. That is so crazy to say. So thank you for celebrating with us.

I welcome your prayers for our growing family.

And this has just been a really fun thing to just hold close

and also to finally be able to share with you and tell you about.

So baby number five was born and I can't wait to introduce you to our little one.
