I still can't believe that in 7 months I am going to be the mother of THREE children. THREE!!!

Yesterday, Derek and I went and looked at baby stuff-- after going through this twice I wouldn't have thought I would get excited about bassinets, playpens or baby clothes, but the more we looked the more I envisioned myself holding a teeny tiny baby again, snuggling and caring for it. Maybe part of it is because it's Derek's first and just knowing how exciting it will be for him makes me excited.

Looking at our life right now and knowing that our house is going to be even more cramped, the schedule is going to be grueling at first with me getting 4 people ready in the mornings after Derek leaves for work, the lack of sleep, starting all over again with diapers and breast feeding, giving up some of the freedom that we gained as the girls got older-- it will all be worth it! If we were to wait until we were in a bigger house, had more money, had more time, and all of the other excuses that come up, we would not be anticipating the birth of a wonderful baby right now, daydreaming about the wonderful family we are creating.

We are truly exited!
