It's official! We are expecting our fourth little bundle of joy! The baby is due on April 9, 2009. We are all very excited to see how this little one will turn out.
When we made the announcement to our family we got some pretty funny responses:
Parker said, "I guess I will like the baby better when it's more like Kate's age. Newborns just aren't much fun. But, I hope we have a boy. I'll like that the most!"
Grace said, "I hope we have two babies because then we could get this whole baby thing over with and me and Parker could both hold a baby and not fight. But, new babies aren't exactly cute. They have to grow into that a bit."
Kate said, "Mommy has a baby in her tummy. It's cute! My baby in my tummy is cute too."
My Dad said with his typical hidden excitement, "What are we going to do with another Kate? I guess we'll just have to love this one too."
Wing said, "Maybe we should take this pregnancy test again. Are these things really accurate?"
Wing and I are just thrilled. After I had completed the necessary steps on the pregnancy text strip... ahem... we checked it together holding hands and saw the little positive line. We just looked at each other and grinned. Wing's eyes were huge! So far the best thing about being pregnant is Wing's nesting. He's been a great help with cleaning the house and getting ready for the little one. He even cleaned the garage! If being pregnant wasn't such a pain, I might do this a bit more often.
The kids love to see how the baby is growing in my tummy so I posted a little pregnancy ticker on our blog. They check it every day to see how the "little peanut" is growing.
Thank you for all of your positive comments and excitement for #4!

Wing, good job on the "nesting" ;) I know that it helps a TON when hubbies help out with the daily chores. Love you all!!
Congrats!! 4 is a good number. Maybe one day I will get the nerve to take the blung. But I will stick with 3 for a while longer.
