And Then There Were Seven

Troy: What are you doing taking this still?
It won't ever happen if you're taking the pill.
Jackee: What the heck are you talking about?
A question of baby to you was out!
Troy: I'm "ok", I guess, to have one now.
Jackee: "Ok's" not enough, no way no how!

TWO WEEKS LATER

Troy: Have you quit the pill are we ready to try?
Jackee: For two years you've said no, why now why?
Troy: I just decided one more would be good.
Jackee: Think hard for a bit, maybe we could.

TWO WEEKS LATER (after a trip to the temple)

Troy: I feel really good about having one more.
Jackee: I do, too. But are you really sure?
Troy: YES!

EIGHT WEEKS LATER

Troy: I think with the kids we should share our news.
Jackee: I keep dropping hints and giving them clues.

TWO WEEKS LATER

I guess we're ready to share with the world.
Even though we're not sure whether boy or girl.
In November we will have our number seven.
Each one brings us a little more heaven.

Congratulations! Wow -- I'm not sure we'll make it past 4. They're all keeping me pretty busy right now. I hope you are feeling well. I think it's very exciting -- I can definitely see you with 7 kids. You've always been capable of anything. Thanks for sharing your good news.
