And Baby Makes ... 5 !!!

The week of Jonah's birthday (back in February) was when we actually found out I was pregnant!!! So we were fortunate enough to share our good news w/ my parents in person a couple weeks later while they were here for Jonah's baptism. We didn't tell anyone else for quite some time. We wanted the boys to be close to the first to know & yet we knew that once we told them, the world would find out :) So we went thru our days & weeks with our little secret ... ...


During April vacation, I actually had my 1st ultrasound scheduled & so we told the boys the good news w/ the ultrasound photo. I'm glad we waited until we had that picture because Jonah would not believe us! So the ultrasound photo was good proof! Merrik was instantly excited ... mostly I think because he "wouldn't be the littlest anymore!" And I think Jonah's excited just because he's such a social kid. "The more, the merrier!" In fact, once Jonah was convinced, he grabbed Merrik in a bear hug & proclaimed, "Merrik - we're gonna be brothers!!!!" It was very sweet. So now we get to share our news w/ the world!

~Baby # 3 is expected to make his/her arrival sometime around October 31st, 2012!!!!~
And we could not be more excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(we have another ultrasound scheduled for June 8th in which we hope to find out the sex of the baby)

Thanks Jeri!! We're so excited! And I'm feeling good - just tired. The infamous 1st trimester was just feeling car sick all day but thankfully that's passed! Great to hear from you!!
