Expanding the Family by One More!


Dane and I found out we were going to have another baby at the beginning of August. We were quite shocked, but very excited. It wasn't something we were planning on quite yet. I have been feeling great; not sick at all, just tired and hungry. That is exactly how my last two pregnancies went. So, does this mean it is another boy, or could there be a little girl in our future? It doesn't matter one bit to us as long as this baby is healthy. We told the boys right before we went to the doctor last Friday. Kade was pretty quiet; he didn't have too much to say. He said he was happy though. Brady doesn't fully understand yet. He comes up to me and says "I want to see Mommy's baby. I hold it. I put it right back." Then he lifts up my shirt and pushes my belly. Kade was excited to tell everyone about the baby, but if you try to talk to him about it, he just kind of changes the subject. The doctor's appointment went good. The baby looks great, and we got to see the little heartbeat. That was reassurance for me that something was really there considering how well I have been feeling. The due date is April 11, 2010. Brady may be sharing a birthday; his is April 9. We feel very fortunate that God has blessed us with one more child. He or she will make our family complete for sure.
