(Adalynn's POV)

We're in the second trimester now, and I've hit that burst of energy I usually get around this time. I feel a lot more in control of things and I can plan a lot of my day and actually stick to the plan without being waylaid by sickness or fatigue.

(AN: I hadn't actually picked a name for this kid, which is ironic because this is classic last-kid-in-a-fundie-family treatment. I went through the game provided names and Everett was nice and actually worked for the vibe I have going for these people and their offspring.)

Speaking of pregnancy, Lorilee had her baby! She and Charles welcomed little Everett Collins into their family at San Myshuno General hospital. Lorilee gloriously laboured for 30 hours with her little guy, and she and Charles updated us constantly with either video calls or message updates. Lorilee's mum and sister flew into the city last week to help the new parents as they adjust to their newest addition. My parents and Ashton are planning on stopping by on their way to see Zoe and Francisco, with all of us spread around the country my parents have definitely gained a tonne of flying and road miles travelling all over to see us. Soon enough we'll all be together for Parker and Lana's wedding.

We had a little birthday party for little Joshua, he turned 6 years old and is ready to join his brothers in full time schooling! We've been doing kindergarten level work with him to get him ready for grade 1 schoolwork, I've got the main materials that I've used with the other boys but I will order him his own workbook to use for this school year. He's going to be the 7th student our school table, and because of the baby coming around the time school is starting my mother in law, Angie, will be taking over the boys schooling until I can be up and about after the baby.

My mother-in-law has been a blessing to me since the day I met her, but whenever I'm pregnant she goes above and beyond to be available to help. She's come over and helped with school on days when I couldn't separate myself from the toilet, she's helped Mason get them ready for church on days when I couldn't do it myself, she even brought over meals whenever I couldn't cook. Everytime we announce that there's a new baby on the way she celebrates as if it's her first grandbaby, the boys are absolutely in love with their Mimi - as Angie likes to be called.

We are so grateful to be have this family of ours where we have been blessed with 8 (soon to be 9) blessings that have given us reasons to constantly celebrate. Joshua asked for his birthday outing to be to our local pizza place, so one day Mason got off work early so we could take him out to eat his birthday treat. Our different friends and family have sent him such wonderful gifts, be it a toy, a card, some money, or books.
