Room for One More?

As I am getting nearer to having three children I am constantly thinking how I will be able to handle it. I have very feely children who need to be holding mom all the time. Just the other day I was commenting to a friend how cute it was that her kids play with her hair when she holds them. My kids, they go right for the elbow pit. I know, it is weird. Ellie especially is really obsessed with it. It is how she marks me or something. Owen really likes to be holding both of my arms at the same time.

I realize this isn't exactly the most flattering picture of me, but I wanted to show everyone our current compromise. Ellie MUST be laying next to me and Owen settles for laying between my legs though he often climbs up on top of me and then rolls down and wedges himself between Ellie and I. This knocks her off the couch and then we go into meltdown mode. Now, we were trying to figure out where Maggie will be. It looks like one of my arms is free, but Ellie was just taking a short break to reposition her milk and pose at this moment so she isn't rubbing my elbow pit. It should be interesting... Maggie is going to be one of those latch-key kids who never gets touched or has human contact. Poor thing. (Not to worry, I am sure this won't happen... afterall, Owen will try sitting on her all the time and Ellie will try picking her up and dragging her across the floor like she does her doll).
