...and then there were 5!!!

So, for those of you who haven't heard....we are expecting baby #3 May 7, 2008 (that sounds WAY too far away!). That makes me 12-weeks along today! Done with the first trimester, but still too afraid to try a day without Zophran (the miracle anti-nausea drug). We are really excited to have another little spirit from our Heavenly Father in our home. Girl or boy, we will be excited...but send the girl vibes our way. :)

The boys, well mainly Cooper, are really excited too. The other day, when they did an ultrasound to find the heartbeat, he said, "was it a boy or a girl in the picture?!" He is way too anxious. "Mom, is the baby big enough to come out yet"? "Mom, I want to give you a kiss, and then I want to give our baby a kiss," and then he kisses my tummy. We were going to try and hold off telling them, but I am not kidding, one night at dinner Cooper out of the blue asked, "Mom, do you have a baby in your tummy?" I just looked at him stunned and said, "Well, actually I do." I mean, I know I have gained a few pounds...but I think he has some intuition. Maybe it was the fact that I couldn't get off the couch for a few weeks until I got the good drugs. :)

We are also glad that we will be having the baby while we still live here in St. Louis, avoiding a change of doctor mid-way. I still can't believe that I will have a 4 and 2-year-old before the end of the year...let alone be so close to #3. Gunner and the baby will be 28 months apart.

So there's our big news. I am expecting lots of advice from all you great moms out there who make it look easy!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
I'm so excited for you guys. Keep us posted when you find out what it is. I'm sure Lindsey will have lots of great advice, she makes it looks so easy.
I'm sure you'll manage three just as well as two. I'm sure you'll get out of the house just as much. That's just the kind of person you are.

So happy for you guys!

Congratulations. That is exciting news. Isn't Zofran awesome. I called them my little golden pills. Hopefully you'll be feeling better soon. Keep us posted about the gender. Are you going to find out when the time comes?

CONGRATS on the new baby, that is so exciting! May seems like a girly month......

Seriously... said...

wow! congrats! that's so exciting. I'll think pink thoughts for you (though it didn't work for me, so maybe you don't want me thinking any pink thoughts....)
As for pictures....I almost always have my lens set to autofocus, but in most situations I try to set my exposure manually, so I can get the exact look i'm going for. At times I shoot in aperature priority mode, and let the camera select the shutter speed (especially when I'm chasing kids). It just depends on the situation...

That is really exciting for you guys. 3 kids is great, they keep you on your toes a little more, but it's so fun. You will have no problem,

Amber said...

Congratulations! That is so exciting. Don't feel bad if you don't get a girl, having 3 boys is awesome. You'll get a lot of "you have your hands full" comments from strangers.

Wow, I don't know if you'll actually scroll down this far to read my congrats but I'll write it anyway! That's so exciting! Good for you, I keep telling Bren every day that I think 2 is our max (for a while at least.) But as everyone already has said, Cassie you'll be such a good mommy of 3!
