Secret Agent Baby

  I'm up against a deadline here because tomorrow is Gameboy's birthday, pretty much a must-blog-about event, but I have felt like I can't write about anything else until I announce the arrival of our secret baby.
  Yes, little Turtle was born last month. I chose this for his blog name because his round head and wrinkled neck make him look like a 100-year-old turtle. He was born at home, which is a story, and was three pregnancies in the making. I've learned a few things about miscarriages, having had four of them, and one is that the more people you've told you're pregnant, the sadder it is.
  So you might think I'd want to write about being pregnant and having another baby, but until now, I wasn't even tempted. But our family is enjoying him very much. He's an easy baby; he sleeps at night, rides in the car well and doesn't puke on stuff. His older siblings are eager to hold him and squeal about how cute he is.
  So, at 6 weeks old, I announce Turtle has joined the family, leading the faculty of our homeschool in baby studies. It will be a fun year.
