Once upon a time, we baptized our fifth baby.\u00a0 The priest we love smiled at us and said, \u201d You know that you can\u2019t stop here, don\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n

We were taken aback.\u00a0 What was wrong with five?<\/p>\n

\u201cFive isn\u2019t a Biblically perfect number.\u00a0 3 is, but you shot right past that, so I guess it\u2019s going to have to be 7,\u201d and then he laughed.<\/p>\n

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\u2019t listen to the wise counsel of our priest.\u00a0 We\u2019re also kinda nerdy and like the idea of perfect numbers.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019re having a #7\u2026..on or about December 6th\u2026\u2026we\u2019re already referring to this baby as \u201cPerfect Number 7\u2033\u2026.that\u2019s not too much pressure on a kid is it?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
P.S.\u00a0 Dear prayer buddy, We\u2019ve been joking for the last week that this is what we get for joining the infertile girls prayer group.\u00a0 LOL!\u00a0 Can you add perfect #7 to your list?\u00a0 Sell the house, healthy baby, conquer morning sickness\u2026.that\u2019s what I need.\u00a0 Thanks.<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
