I am a Mother

Almost eight years ago I became a mother. This is what we emailed to our family to announce my first pregnancy with Kaitlyn.


To announce Brynn's arrival I put together a small photo album of pictures of Kaitlyn and stuck a picture of my ultrasound of Brynn in the pages with the due date written on it.

Sorry Jared and Ellie. I must have just called on the phone to tell everyone. I can't remember doing anything creative.

Since the advent of the blog I know more about my brother's and sister's lives than I ever have, but hardly ever talk to them. I know within a day every one of my siblings will have checked my new post. So for baby #5 I'll announce it on my blog with this:
Twelve weeks along. Due at Thanksgiving. Praying fervently that morning sickness will end soon.

Happy Mother's Day!

I knew you were pregnant. I was thinking "she thinks she can live far away and hide that she's pregnant". I figured you were probably like 6 months along but we'd never know cause we don't see you ever. Congratulations!!!!! I'm so happy!

Valerie said...

Yay! I'm so glad that I was the second to comment. Congrats! Do you know your baby will be baby #20 for your parents? I think you get a prize for that one.

Amanda said...

Woohoo!!!! That is awesome. I just tried calling to tell you I thought it was awesome but your line was busy.

Liz said...

Sarah! Wow - congrats, congrats. So excited for you guys.

We missed #20 by one with Keian - guess we don't win the prize! I am so happy that you have posted this awesome information on your blog so that I don't end up slipping and telling someone. I like secrets if I only have to keep them for a very short amount of time - this was perfect. So glad you could come to dinner today!

Congratulations!!! I read your title and expected a nice little message about how grateful you are to be a mom (I Know you are grateful and you are an awesome mom). I was very surprised to find out that #5 was on the way. Congrats!!

Hannah said...

Abby always thinks she knows. I'm beginning to think she makes it up. I DID know, however, with this one. So take that, Abby! Oh. And congratulations, Sarah and Scott! I can't wait to find out what you're having!

McEntire Family said...

Sunday night must be a blogging night because I keep refreshing your page to see new comments and they just keep coming!

Julie Smith said...

Yay, Sarah! Can I bring you something bland but filling?

Andy Porter said...

congrats. Andy and I are not going to race to six. We concede that race to you.

Ahhhh!! That is awesome!! I just tried to call you, but it said"the verizon wireless person you are trying to contact is unavailable". Hopefully not in the bathroom throwing up!! I'm so excited for you!!! I will pray that your morning sickness ends soon too...Yay-yay-yay!!!

The Bloom Bunch said...

Congratulations Sarah! How exciting! I hope your morning (all day) sickness goes away soon. Best wishes from AZ.

Allison said...

Congratulations, Scott and Sarah!

Adrienne said...

Yay you!! It's definitely year of the baby for me and my pals. You are so "cute pregnant", it's kind of not fair, but what a lucky little kid to come to you guys. CONGRATS!!!

Vigoren Family said...

Congratulations Sara and family! I know it's obnoxious when people say, "I knew it..." but...I knew it! :)

Hope you feel better soon. Eliza would love to play with your younger ones if you ever just NEED A NAP!

MamaJuneBugJones said...

Yipppeeee! So fun! Welcome to the
"5" ranks. It is a blast! I bet your little ones are so excited!
Congratulations!!!!!

Shantell said...

Oh my gosh...CONGRATULATIONS! It is always exciting to have a baby!

Brown Family said...

I knew something was about to happen, because you keep popping up in my head. I didn't think you would be content with JUST four kids. ;) Congrats! You are a much stronger woman than I. :)

Russell said...

I can't believe Abby would say you look pregnant from 800 miles away. I can barely tell.

Betsy said...

I am way excited for you to have another child, but I am so sorry you are pregnant. I haven't been "unpregnant" long enough to wish that on anyone.

Sharee Gariety said...

Congratulations guys! We're totally excited for you. Guess we'll have to get a move-on in order to keep up the esplin/gariety pattern of us having a baby a few months after you guys. . . . I keep waiting to feel ready, but lately, I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever feel "ready." . . . anyway, you know you can call me for anything. I'm happy to help however you need it.

Jacqueline said...

A big Idaho Congratulations to you Super Mama Sarah! Yay!! Now that is going to be one lucky baby!

Shannon E. said...

CONGRATS! You sure did a great job hiding the news when I talked to you on the phone a few weeks ago! I'm so excited for you and I hope that you feel better soon! :) Yea!

Mindy said...

Congratulations! Glad we'll be back for baby #5, and that we didn't miss any new Esplins while we were away!

Kristine said...

I really felt like you needed one more comment...and I feel rather guilty that I sometimes read your blog and never comment. I get to your blog from amber and sharee's...hope that's ok. and, I hope that you are feeling well.

cassie said...

The Watkins said...

You and Scott make way too cute of kids to have stopped with 4. So glad that you are prego. Congrats!

Rach and Todd said...

WAHOO!! Another lucky baby gets Sarah as his/her mom! I'm so excited for you, lady. I hope your sickness is easing...one day we should be pregnant at the same time and we could share a puke bucket :)....cause that's what good friends do. I hope I get to see you one day before we're 40. Love ya, miss ya.

Kim Breinholt said...

Sarah said...
