And Baby Makes Six

Well, why not start this blog off with a bang. Last night we told our kids that we had been keeping a secret from them for a few months and that we had a big surprise. We let them guess until they figured it out, and here are some of their guesses:

Josh: We get to go to Legoland tomorrow?!
Josh: I'm getting a new Lego set?!
Seth: Grandpa Bruce is coming to live with us?
Josh: We're going to Texas?
Josh: We're getting a dog? (Not that he--or anyone else in this house--even likes dogs.)
Josh: We're getting a new house?
Seth: We're going to have a new baby?

Yes, Seth was the one who ultimately figured it out as we gave them a few clues along the way. Suddenly, all three kids were swarming my belly and saying hello to the baby. Josh asked when the baby is due to be born: October 13, but we know that I'll be scheduled to deliver about a week early. So now that the kids know, I thought we'd better let everyone else know. I'm at 15 weeks, and we are very grateful and excited for this baby to make our family of five become a family of six.

What?! I had no idea! That's fantastic news. You are great at keeping secrets. And you're already into the second trimester. What a trooper you are. The first trimester is when I was the biggest whiner.

CONGRATULATIONS!! We could not be more happy for you and your family. This baby is already blessed to be coming to such a sweet and loving family. Keep in touch. I will be the first to admit that I enjoy keeping in touch with friends/family via the blog world, but I don't blog myself. What a fun way to tell your kids!! Baby is the next best thing to Legos.
