Wrangle You

K, last night reading books you were just the sweetest thing.

You and H were wild and crazy after baths and it was all we could do to lotion you two up and wrangle you into your pajamas.

Afterward, mom and I could barely even calm y’all down enough to read books.

During the thrashing, you bumped into mom’s stomach and I (mostly joking) asked you to apologize to your little sister.

Your voice immediately became gentle and sweet as you got down and talked to mom’s stomach:

I’m sorry baby sister. I love you.

My heart.

I wish I could bottle all this up.

I love you.

Having A Girl

Mom and I have a voicemail from the doctor’s office that we waited until today to listen to.

We dropped you kids off at church Crest Care, hit the Raising Cane’s drive-thru on the way home and listened to the voicemail at the kitchen table just before we ate.

We are having a girl!

O-M-Goodness.

Three girls in our family!

Mom and I were supposed to watch movies for the next few hours to relax, but mom was (apparently) all keyed up about it, and she fell asleep on the couch ten minutes later.

I can’t wait to meet our new addition!

I love you.

Three Kids

Ok, so apparently we are going to have three kids in our little family.

Mom told me that she is pregnant!

I am not sure why, but it came as a bit of a shock to me.

And it’s funny how it all happens. Because I started stressing about finances a little bit and within the next few hours the hot water heater AND the A/C to our house broke down.

But no worries – we got this.

I can’t believe we are going to be a family of 5!

H and K, I know you will be fantastic older sisters.

Due date: March 22.

I love you all.
