OH MY, OH MY......here comes #5 (My Intro)

Hello ladies- so excited to be joining you all. My name is Christina, 37 years old, married 17 years and have 4 children already. Girl (13), Boy (10), Girl (8) and Boy (3). I work full time as a nurse while hubby stays home with the kids. I work nights and sleep while the kids are in school so I get to spend all afternoon and evening with them. The shock is starting to finally wear off that we are expecting our 5th baby in July 2015! This site was my crack when I was pregnant with my youngest and I can't wait to meet and chat with you ladies. With all of my free time (ha ha ) I sell baby/kids clothes so I'm excited to start pulling from my own inventory LOL. Since I already have 2 girls and 2 boys I'm tempted to stay on team green though.....something we've never done.
Christina EDD 7/3/15 (best guess)
