#4 officially on his/her way!

After a lot of soul searching, we decided to try for another baby.  This was a hard decision after dealing with some difficult pregnancies, but also because I think we were starting to really enjoy the freedom of not having a baby that needed our constant care.  However, we know our family is not complete quite yet, and I mean, when you make them as cute as we do... we can't deprive the world of more of our offspring.  

So, we are officially announcing that we are expecting baby #4!  Went to the doctor yesterday and the due date is May 19th.  Maggie's birthday is May 20th and Ellie's is May 21st so that's going to be a busy week for us but I suppose it is convenient for grandparents to come visit and be able to be around for all three birthdays.  We'll see if I last that long... I'm pro induction.

Daniel has conveniently planned a business trip for these past four weeks and has left me alone with the children when I am feeling most nauseous and most tired and most moody.  Actually, I think the timing of the trip was actually quite convenient for him.  We are certainly looking forward to Dan's return on Saturday.

So, hoping for a healthier, happier pregnancy and that this baby will come into the world healthy and happy as well.

PS- Kids all want a brother... Ellie just looks at the pattern and has decided that a boy is just the natural next gender to have, Owen wants another boy and gets mad that Ellie and Maggie won't play cars with him, Maggie just says boy since the other two say it.

There is a haunting behind our house!

Our backyard is being haunted by three pretty cute little witches.  Thank you dollar store for providing hours of fun and also providing my son with his first (of what I suspect will be many) capes.... he's been flying around the house ever since.
Halloween decor is out, parties are in the works, costumes are ordered and there are three kids who are pretty excited about Halloween this year.
