Trilogy

Here i am in all my 12 week glory
On May 7th, our trilogy will be complete. We will be welcoming baby numero 3. I am now 12 weeks. YAY! Thankfully I do not get sick so I have felt pretty normal other than being exhasuted. I would like a girl, so would Abigail. I think every girl should have a sister. I don't think boys need brothers, that's what they have Dads for. My brother never had a brother and they don't come any tougher or manlier. I never had a sister and I've always felt like I was missing something. Luckily I married into a family with lots of sisters. They are now the ones I call when I need something, want to cry, want to share my happiness and joy. Sisters are a blessing. Joseph wants a puppy but I think he secretly wants a girl. I found Abbey's 1st Easter dress the other night and Joseph said "Man I loved when Abbey wore that little dress", to me that means he needs another Daddy's girl.

Goals for this pregnancy:

1. DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT gain 48lbs. again.

2. Do not have a 10lb. baby. After an 8+lber and then a 9lber, that might not be so easy.

3. Sleep train starting at 8weeks. Yeah I'm going all out this time.


And pray for us. #3 might put us over the edge.

Doug's parents told us you were pregnant a week ago, but I didn't want to post anything in case you weren't telling yet. Congratulations! I'm due with number 4 a week before you- April 26th! It seems like we're always pregnant at the same time!

HOORAY! Good luck with the girl. I thought I was having a girl since a year ago... its a boy, they say, but I still think its a girl in my head... don't tell my son that in 10 weeks... I'm sure he and ben will bully mary and have a good boy club, and I'm glad not to have to worry about another girl in this awful world, but baby girls are so sweet! I have so many dresses I want to get out! And is it worth saving Mary's clothes for 6+ years IF we had another girl- ever???
anyway- hooray for #3!!!
