We didn't buy our minivan in vain... #3 coming in early 2014!
Thankfully, so far, I've enjoyed a healthy pregnancy and the baby appears to be healthy. We feel EXTREMELY blessed.
Oh... and guess what? Since this is old news and we already know the sex of the baby... why hold back, right?
Well... we're going to have a little less of THIS in our house:
And a little more of THIS once #3 arrives!
sass
attitude
sass
sister love
and more sass
And I wish I could also add a picture that adequately captured our girls' (and my own) TEARS AND DRAMA, because my bet is that we're gonna have more of that, too! Can you believe it???
Madeleine has prayed SO hard for a "boy baby" and has desperately desired a brother - she told everyone it was a boy, she had even us convinced that it was probably going to be a boy! (I've written a lot of boy names down in my dissertation notebook.) You'll have to ask me sometime about her reaction to finding out we're having a girl, because it's pretty hilarious. But we're all so happy now, even Madeleine. ALL. SO. HAPPY. This baby has long been loved by us...
yay for baby girl #3! so fun.
ReplyDeletecongrats! You make cute girls :)
ReplyDeleteThree girls is yes, dramatic and tear-filled, but also so so wonderful. There is nothing like watching your little girls discover their built in best friends. You will do amazingly. :) Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWhy did I forget that your husband is a radiologist and you can find out early?!?! Hooray for 3 girls! Shall we just save everyone some stress and arrange marriages between my boys and your girls now?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! What lovely sisters your new girl will have!
ReplyDeleteYay for girl power!! SO excited for you! xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove those sassy poses by the girls! Hilarious! We're so happy for you guys, and can't wait to see what baby girl #3 will add to your awesome growing family. No doubt she will bring even more spice to your little posse. :) Can't wait to meet her already!
ReplyDeleteYou are awesome and this is fabulous! I am surrounded by nothing but super heros and toilets with the lids up, BUT... I grew up with all the other pictures you posted and girls do rule! There's nothing better than sisterly love. I'm SOOO excited for you! Luvs!
ReplyDeleteYay! I love how you did those pictures of less of this and more of that! So cute! Excited for your sweet family!! :)

ReplyDeleteSo exciting! I feel so out of the loop. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Dissertation done, girl #3! Girls do rock. I have 3 girls (and one boy), and I grew up with 7 sisters. It is a wonderful blessing. And -- did I mention that you rock? You're a amazing. What a wonderful, wonderful work you do. Love and admiration from your friend, Mary
ReplyDeleteOk... I obviously don't check your blog often enough! It doesn't mean I don't think of you. I am so happy for you and your family! I wish you a week full of energy, good health, and well-behaved kids.
