Number Three

We're super excited about the little baby growing inside of me.  We'll get to meet him or her in November!

April 13

Here are the big brothers!

May 2

Our firstborn is pretty great about it.  He loves wrapping his arms around me to give the baby a hug.  And then he says "baby loves his hugs" :)  We've told him that s/he's really small but s/he's getting bigger and will come out after his little brother is 2 and after he's started school.

I was going to tell all my siblings at once by having the boys wear their shirts to the first day of our beach vacation.  But when my baby sister was with us on the last day of April and we went on a preschool field trip to a nature center, as I was getting my preschooler out of the van he saw his friends and commented that one of them had a baby.  We were alone-ish for a second so I quietly said that he was getting one too.  To which he responded that he has two babies.  One's his little brother and the other is in my tummy and would come out after his little brother turned two.  By then he was out of the van and said he wanted to give the baby a hug as he hugged my belly.  So my baby sister heard at least some of that and knew.  But, that's probably a more fun way for her to find out than the shirts so that's good.

I'm 17 weeks tomorrow!

(Interesting coincidence: When 2 was born, 1 was 2 years, 3 months, and 14 days.  This baby is due when 2 will be 2 years, 3 months, and 22 days.)
