And along comes number 3!

Wow, this has been a very eventful month. So my suspicions, or premonitions (lol!), have been correct. I am pregnant and we are expecting to welcome our third child into our family mid March next year! We are really excited and can't wait to find out if we will be having another sweet boy or hopefully an even sweeter girl. We will be happy either way and pray to have a strong and healthy child. Being a mom is a super difficult job that challenges and tests me every day. But there is nothing like the innocence and love of a child and being able to foster goodness and happiness in him. I am so grateful to be a mother and that I have two beautiful boys to call me mommy. Sorry to be so corny but this is truly a special time for us and I wanted to share it with you. So I'll keep you posted on the baby's progress and my growing belly - hopefully the other parts of me won't grow as much. :)

Your not corny! Congrats on your new addition!! It will be fun, and then, after you give birth you can get preggo again as my surrogate s that I don't have to be pregnant?!

Rachel said...

Congrats! That is so cool! I will be having our bundle of joy next month. March is such a better month to have a baby in. That is when we had Jaron. Shalauna came during the summer and boy hot! I will have to get your email and phone. I am so happy for you both. Hope you are feeling well! Love,

Aunt April

It's so good to hear from you April! Congratulations on your new addition too, another summer baby! I've avoided that so far :) I hope your family is doing well. We miss and love you.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

You guys are great parents and have the most beautiful boys. I really hope we get to see a little girl this time. I'm happy for you two. Give me a call sometime and we can let the kiddos play, I don't have a job anymore, you know!

Love you!

Hi Rachel, It is a blessing to hear from you! I forgot how much I miss you and your CUTE boys!! Your blog is super sweet. I'm excited to keep up with the Drew family. How cool your sister-in-law moved here! It is so nice to have family close! Are you busy these days? We should get together. Love, Kim

Hey, I finally did the ice cream quiz! Here goes....
You're Rocky Road.
You're dramatic and unpredictable, like biting into a scoop of rocky road ice cream. Like rocky road, you can be a little bit nutty (or a little bit marshmallowy) depending on your mood. Your friends never know what they're going to get when they hang out with you -- sometimes you're calm and sweet, and sometimes you're enthusiastic and flirty.

Congrats Rachel (and Drew!!) That's very exciting. Our third time was the charm for getting a girl. But I would've loved a third boy, as well. How very exciting!!
