Shoved to Them
Once upon a time, we baptized our fifth baby. The priest we love smiled at us and said, ” You know that you can’t stop here, don’t you?”
We were taken aback. What was wrong with five?
“Five isn’t a Biblically perfect number. 3 is, but you shot right past that, so I guess it’s going to have to be 7,” and then he laughed.
We laughed with him and it became a long running joke in our family, but never let it be said that the Computer Guy and I don’t listen to the wise counsel of our priest. We’re also kinda nerdy and like the idea of perfect numbers.
That’s why we’re having a #7…..on or about December 6th……we’re already referring to this baby as “Perfect Number 7″….that’s not too much pressure on a kid is it?
P.S. Dear prayer buddy, We’ve been joking for the last week that this is what we get for joining the infertile girls prayer group. LOL! Can you add perfect #7 to your list? Sell the house, healthy baby, conquer morning sickness….that’s what I need. Thanks.
