I wanted to be clever...

...but I'm lacking in the cleverness department today.


So I'll just tell it like it is:


We're expecting baby #3!


I just got back from the Dr. and he set my due date as October 6th...for now. As he was doing the ultrasound he kept getting different dates. First it was 12 weeks, then 13 weeks 1 day, then 13 weeks 2 days. I told him he better stop because I just get further along the more times he measures.

I know what some of you are thinking: wow, you're going to be busy, or aren't they a little close in age, three under three?! Trust me, I've thought about all of these things. My philosophy is the sooner I have them, the sooner I am done being pregnant! And lets be honest, its not like we're getting any younger!

We're really excited and can't wait for this new little babe to join our family. Bridger has no interest in a sister, just a brother. I don't think he knows what a sister is.

Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow! Congratulations! You're actually not that far behind me! It seems like you were just pregnant with Corbin, although it has been awhile. . . I agree with you, though. You are in baby mode now, so just keep on with it. It will be such a shocker for me when I have this new one, since Rohne will be 3 & 1/2. And, if you already have a big enough car, what's with waiting? Let us know how your 3rd pregnancy goes. You are still younger than me, but this one has been a kicker for me. It will probably be a breeze for you, because your body already remembers. I'm happy for ya! I'll bring on the happy girly thoughts for you.

It has already been a kicker for me. I almost expected twins or triplets to show up on the ultrasound because I feel huge and I can't get enough to eat. Seriously. I can be stuffed at the table and not able to eat one more bite and then 20 minutes later I am starving again. Its ridiculous!

Congratulations! I totally understand the "baby mode" thinking. :) It's fun (and hard and crazy!) to have them so close together, but so worth it! I hope you are feeling good!

Congrats!!! Good luck with the pregnancy. I was nervous for 3, but honestly it hasn't been as hard as everyone made it sound. Yeah, it's harder than 2, but they haven't eaten me alive (yet!).

Oh... my.... gosh.... :)

Congratulations! I hope all goes well for you. I with Brielle I was seriously starving most of the time, the rest of the time I felt like...well not like eating. Pregnancy fun times!

Cassie said...

Congrats!! That is exciting. Good thing you did this today and not yesterday or else I wouldn't have believed it!

Cassie said...

Oh and I totally forgot. You will get the "wow you are busy aren't you" long after this baby is due in the stores, at church, any body who looks at you. But I tell them the same thing, at least I will be done having kids faster.

Christy said...

That is very cool. I totally agree with your philosophy. Congratulations. I am glad you mentioned it today and not yesterday otherwise we wouldn't have believed you.

happy day! congrats, congrats! wyatt and i have had the same conversation concerning kids...and we too feel like it's better to have them closer together for the same reasons - the sooner we'll be done. plus i feel like maybe the kids will be closer - i had lots of years between me and my siblings and though i love them - we're not that close. congrats (again)!
