Since I've announced the news on Facebook, I figured I could finally start blogging about what is really on my mind lately..... we are having a baby!!! The due date is December 31st and we are all very excited. Because of our last experience, I waited a loooooong time to tell anyone and was frankly a nervous wreck for the first 12 weeks. At about 10 weeks we had to tell close family and we did tell the kids because it was getting a little obvious and harder to hide.
I had quite a few ultrasounds at the beginning, which was basically my doctor's way of trying to get me to relax a little bit. It did help a lot seeing that heartbeat, I can't believe how much I took that for granted with my other two. Noah really wants a baby brother and Ella really wants a baby sister. Shocking! One of them has a pretty good chance of getting their wish!
The kids and I had a really fun time at Vala's Pumpkin Patch last Friday. Noah had the day off for fall break and we lucked out with gorgeous weather! This was the first Vala's trip that I can remember that we weren't dressed in our winter coats. After work Seth came to meet us and we ate dinner there (had to take out a minor loan) and stayed until after dark. Another first! I found out that the teenagers also come out after dark. It really made me appreciate my sweet little ones. they grow up so darn fast.... I can do without the teenage years coming too quickly.
