So did you figure out the not so hidden message? :) It was a surprise for us too. Here is one of my favorite pictures of all time. It was taken when Koby's parents opened a Christmas present when we told them our secret. It was a gift certificate for their 21st grandchild, redeemable August '09.


I just love, love the reaction. :)

I wanted to do the same thing with my parents but Brigg loudly spilled the beans at Christmas dinner, before we opened presents. It was pretty funny though. My brother just happened to mention that we needed to have more kids blah blah blah and Brigg proclaimed that there is a baby brother in my tummy. Everyone couldn't believe it at first because Brigg was so matter of fact- and he is a kid and likes to talk. Brigg is very excited to say the least and says he loves the baby. We will see if he is correct on the gender. He was right with Kallie.

I went to my 1st doctor's appointment on Jan. 14th and we heard a heart beat so I guess it is real, I'm not imagining symptoms. They have the due date down for Aug. 11th. Happy Birthday Koby! Hee hee. I'm getting pay back for saying I did not want to ever be big and pregnant in the hot summer. :) I need to shut my mouth.

So there is that. This was one of the things on my mounting list of things needed and expenses. We are excited and a little nervous to be having 3 kids, especially 3 under 4 years old. People have kids that close together all the time, but I was thinking I would have Brigg headed to Kindergarten by the time we had another munchkin. :) The funny thing is that I felt that the next one would be closer in age to Kallie, but I didn't think this close and I didn't plan for it to be that way. But the Lord works in mysterious ways! On my health history sheet at the doctor's office it asked if we had problems with birth control. I put It didn't work. Humm.

We are looking at bigger vehicles now, smaller car seats to fit in my Maxima, how we are going to set up the bedrooms and who will be sleeping with who, and saving up for hospital and doctor bills. I think having 3 kids is just as busy as preparing for the first child. Whew! At least I dont have to worry about the clothes and play toys. And I won't be running the SLC 1/2 marathon that I wanted to run. We will just have all our kids birthed and raised sooner. :)

Let's just hope this pregnancy isn't as dramatic as the last one.
