The other two were floating around the house. I'm not sure where they were, actually!

We'll definitely post a video of the baby when she arrives. Smiling

Congrats on the up-coming birth of the newest member of the Whitinger Family!

Does that make 3 boys and 3 girls now? Or am I missing any?

3 girls and 4 boys. Abigail is our second oldest girl at 10 years old. Every child we've had since her has been a boy.

(Edited to add the word "second"!)

I thought Katie was the oldest girl? So 7 children now and then #8 will be born next month? I must have missed some births somewhere over the past 2-3 years! Whistling Hilarious! Hilarious! Hilarious! Hilarious!

My dad came from a family of 13 children. They had a small farm until his father died. I think I inherited the love for "growing plants" genes from my dad's side of the family. I just wished those genes had surfaced much sooner than later in my life. I could have done so much more gardening from childhood and on .... I am sure enjoying it now, though! Big Grin

I am only unsure of one child. The 3 oldest did the podcast. There is the two youngest (raffle boy and the littlest boy who is a toddler now). Sorry I don't know all their names, but instead know some nicknames. Who am I missing? There must be a child older than our little Raffle Announcer? Another girl in the middle of the Whitinger Family that I am missing?

See what happens when I don't pay close attention to your growing family! *Blush*

Yes, we have one more boy. He's not old enough yet to participate as much as everyone else but he'll get there. Smiling
