5's not that big...

I am officially 33 weeks along today. That leaves 5 weeks to be pregnant (unless she decides to come sooner....hey, I can dream, right?!), so I figure I should look on the bright side. 5 is really not that big of a number- at least that's what I keep telling myself- so I thought to solidify the thought I'd come up with things that are in fives that I don't mind being in fives, and wouldn't want to be less than that.

1. Five in my fam (for right now...)- a good number- wouldn't want it to be less!
2. Five fingers on one hand- any less and I may find it difficult to do quite a few things I love.
3. Five course meal. Now we're talking!! Yummy white rolls, appetizer of escargot, spinach salad, steamed crab legs with butter sided with parsley & butter potatoes and corn, and of course dessert- something chocolate- perhaps one of the pieces of cake from the Roof in Salt Lake City with a side of vanilla ice cream. Now THAT is a five I wouldn't want to have less of!
4. Five years old- Luke & Logan will be five in a week. I wouldn't want to miss any of those growing years, but also don't mind that Logan's not younger than five...
5. Size 5 diapers- Ty's in size 5s and has been for quite a while. I love his pudgy little body- wouldn't want him to be smaller and in anything less than a 5.
6. Growing up with an awesome 5 fam members- Dad, Mom, Rach, Jonny, & Al. Definitely wouldn't want to have less than 5.
7. 5 cars. I've had 5 cars in my driving life- my Dad's awesome Mazda, my fabulous purple Probe (Named 'Peggy Sue'- this car was exactly ME! Someday I'll own another purple sports car...probably won't have pom pons in the back window, though), my grandma's 'pimpin out Mercury Sable', my "new family" Mazda Tribute, and my current "growing family" Pilot. Though I loved every car, I really wouldn't want to go back from my Pilot because that would mean I wouldn't have my amazing kiddos and super hot hubby.
8. J-A-M-E-S 5 letters in James. 5 letters in Logan. 5 letters in Lukey. 5 letters in Tyler. With any less letters, adapting the song "Bingo" to names in our family would be MUCH more difficult. (Luckily 'Mommy' has 5 letters- otherwise we'd have that predicament with C-A-R-I-?)
9. 5 meals I can cook well: chicken parmesan, chicken enchiladas, mexican skillet, gnocchi (thanks for the recipe, Mon!), roast & potatoes.
10. 5 senses. (Though recently I'd be happy to give up smell...then again if I couldn't smell it'd change the taste of my food and I REALLY love food...hmmm... I wouldn't give up smell either.)
11. 5 days until my birthday. I love my birthday. I guess this isn't a good one, cause I'd be happy if it was less than five too. :-) OK- scratch #11.

Well, that's my list so far of things I'm glad are five and not less- got any to add? :-)
