Number 3

Sooo...

I can't think of any clever or witty way to break this news so I'll just be out with it: WE'RE PREGNANT! Baby Number Three should be joining us sometime in mid- to late-July (July 17th is the technical due date). It's still very early, but any and all prayers are good so we thought we'd put the news out there. :)

We haven't told the girls yet because the nine-month countdown seems a little long for them. Or, at least, it's a long time for us to have to explain that no, the baby is not here yet. They will be excited, though, to know that one of their cribs is going to be in use again.

I've been feeling a bit sick with this one, so the blog has been suffering from a lack of attention (along with the girls, the cleanliness of my house, the quality and amount of food cooked by me, etc). Please bear with us! My next priorities are Christmas shopping and Christmas cards. Then hopefully things will start to settle down here and this baby will stop making me feel so yucky!

That is wonderful news! I hope the morning sickness is quick to be over....9 months pregnant in Oklahoma in July.....hmmm... I think you'll be going through the popsicles fairly quickly :) Congratulations!

I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT!!! There was just something about a few "alot to celebrate" and "a lot to be thankful for" comments I've read here recently. Then when you took the girls' beds down, I got even more suspicious. I even asked my mom if Uncle Bill had said anything to her, because I just had this hunch. Congratulations, you guys!! What wonderful news. We'll definitely keep you in our prayers. Trust us, number three is quite a blessing...and maybe you'll get a boy this time like we finally got our girl?! Love you all!

Congratulations! I'm excited that Susan shared her blog with me b/c I too am a blogger and I can connect with the old "hood." So far we are sticking with baby #1. :)
