Yeah! We're having a baby! After everything looked good on ultrasound yesterday we held a special family home evening to tell the kids. Daisy was so excited she wanted to call everyone right that second. She grabbed the phone asking us to help her dial all her grandparents, cousins, and friends.Top 5 Reasons I Would Complain if I Weren't So Excited:
1. My boobs are killing me.
2. I waste most of my time (asleep or awake) thinking about food.
3. I pee 643 times a day (and night.)
4. After my 2 mile run I feel as though I've tried to climb Everest.
5. I'm already getting fat.
Top 5 Reasons I Love This Stage of Pregnancy:
1. I can blame everything on the baby
a) "We're having cold cereal for dinner?"
"Sorry, I didn't feel like cooking, I'm sure you understand."
b) "You ate ALL the cheesecake?"
"Like I had a choice! The baby loves cheesecake!"
2. Ultrasound! Seeing the miracle move inside of you before you can even feel it is breathtaking.
3. I can spend hours reading What to Expect When You're Expecting and From Conception to Birth and not get bored.
4. Food tastes SOOO good!
5. Telling everyone!
I'm 12 1/2 weeks along putting the due date at May 4, which is pretty much perfect. Big and fat through the winter when I can just wear sweaters and hoodies, a brand new baby at the end of spring just in time for the warm weather and coming out of the sick season. Three's the charm, right?

Wow, that is so exciting!!! I bet that Daisy is so thrilled! Acelyn keeps asking for a baby sister...we'll see. Yay for baby #3. I was terrified of 3, but it hasn't been that different. You will do so great with 3 kids! Congrats to you all!!

Congratulations!! That's exciting! I'll have to tell Rich!
Congrats! Three is definatly a big change from two, but they say if you can handle 3 you can handle 10! I'm on 4 and so far so good:) Kepp us updated!
SO happy for you!!! I was wondering if there wouldn't be an announcement sometime....May is the perfect time for babies! Especially when during the summer everyone else is subconscious about their bodies and you get to just say "oh I just had baby so...."
Congrats!! Babies always bring good luck- and are so much fun too! Are you going to find out or let it be a surprise since you already have a boy and a girl?!? I am so excited and slightly jealous... well except for the getting fat part! :)
congrats dansie family! i've been wondering when you were going to tell us all :) sorry we couldn't do dinner tonight...but we can't wait to come over the the house/apartment next week. p.s.-loved the halloween costume cartoon you sent! it got me thinking i should maybe change our costume ideas!
Yeah! I am so excited for you and your family! There is nothing like a new baby. I love it...maybe that is why we have four so close together! Kids are the best and you are a great mom. Congratulations!
Hooray!!!! (wink wink!) I am so excited for you guys! :) I LOVE reading both of those books too!Both my kids are May babies and I swore all my kids will be too! Perfect time of year to bring a little one home! Are you gonna find out what it is????? Glad all is well!
YAY! Congrats! That is super exciting! I loved reading your top five...it was hilarious! :) Hope all goes well and keep us updated!
Congrats on baby #3. May does sound like a great time to have a baby. I have unfortunately had both of mine at the end of September putting me being big and pregnant all through the summer. I am thinking when we want #3 we will do alittle better at planning. Take lots of naps and eat all the food you want while it is excepted:) Just think of all the yummy holiday food you can enjoy and not worry about gaining weight cause you are supposed to gain weight:)
Congratulations! Your reasons for loving and hating were hilarious and so true. My favorite part of "What to Expect" is where it will compare the size of the baby to random things like a watermelon or a small roast. Really puts things in perspective right?
Congrats, that is so exciting! I think being pregnant in the winter is the best, you will be just right when everyone else is freezing in January! Good luck and keep us posted.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is really exciting for you guys. A new baby is just well wonderful! I agree that you did pick a perfect time to have a baby. I'm not so sure about Three's a charm. Good luck with that :)!
HI Tash!
Its official, I finally have my internet back. We have been in our house for a year and I've been to cheap to get it. Congrats on the addition! Lets get together when come home! Congrats on the addition! Any ideas on the gender? May is such a good month to have a baby. Hope all is well. Kadie
I am so excited for you guys!! That is awesome, I can't wait to find out what you are having... wait are you guys going to find out or wait? Well anyway... we are very excited for you and we hope you are feeling well... cheesecake and all!!
What great news! I think that it is cool that you lept it a secret for so long. Wow 3 kids...you are brave! You will do great because you are a great mom!
FUN FUN NEWS!
Hooray! I am so excited to have a new little baby in the family. You are going to be really busy with 3 kids! Paul and I felt the
3rd and 4th editions the most. You probably have more patience than us! You are a great mom and I am excited to hear if it is a boy or girl. Congratulations!

Congratulations on the third child, I heard that it was the hardest, and that it gets easier with the fourth, but I wouldn't know. Your kids are so cute, I can't believe how old your little girl is. Your Dad showed me a pic of her when she was just a baby. I think that would be cool if you linked our blog. In fact I would love it.
Hey so I was going through some junk and I found some of my pregnancy books and I remembered that my favorite one was not on your list. I do not know if you are interested but it is called Your Pregnancy Week by Week. I LOVE IT! It breaks down the whole nine months into weeks and then goes way into detail~lots of physiological detail and that stuff is way interesting to me. Anyways, I just got it from Amazon.com if you get through all of the others then you might want to check out this one:)
