(it's ovary s/b its) Never a dull moment! I am so glad you are keeping this going--I've been half-expecting this surprise--your profile mentions four children and I wasn't sure if that included Susan. Another delicious slice of your life. Cheers. LIZ

    Thanks Liz. You are right, there isn't many dull moments in life. Even now, my kids are still managing to keep my life from being dull. I know that rule about the possessive for "its", but it still slips by me.

You had a very active life, buying a house, changing jobs and then a new arrival on the way. Your memoir flows smoothly and holds my interest. I am looking forward to the next installment when the baby arrives.

You are a fine writer Beth, I love your chatty and comprehensively memorable writing and your ability to entertain with these marvellous anecdotes of your family's adventures and your working and home life, exciting to be in New Orleans. Well done, blessings Roy

    Thank you so much for the review and comment. I was rereading when you were and I think I caught those spags but I appreciate you pointing them out. I'm so glad you don't find this boring.

This work has reached the exceptional level

My Mary had our third girl at 40 while a Doctor thought she should have an abortion. Some doctors are nuts.
I like your story and following in my mind the areas you talk about.
I would think the Hurricane Katrina placed the place underwater.
Good one Beth. Really enjoying your write.

    Thank you so much for the great review and the six stars. I understand it was underwater during Katrina but I haven't been back. My daughter has and it is still there. There are houses on both sides now. I was a little concerned that the baby would be okay. I was nearly thirty-five when she was born but my husband was forty-four and hoping for an early retirement.

Your story continues to be very interesting. You were so fortunate to finally get the house you had your eye on. There were quite a few changes in this chapter and good ones. And now you wonder if you are expecting another child. Blessings. Nicely done.

NB:
A lady with an foreign > an s/b "a"

others children were older, i missed have a little one to hold,
drop the "s" on others Capitalize i have s/b having.

    Thank you for the great review and comments. I appreciate your catching my spags. I'd gotten two of them but I missed one you found. I think I've misplaced some commas, so I need to read it again.

Who can ever tell what is coming our way ? Interesting you managed to buy that dream house despite interest by another purchaser - and great news on the way ! Looking forward to the next chapter !
