Three, Three and Under

I know, I know, I know, It has been too long since I have updated my blog. I have been trying to fly under the radar until I was ready to make the big announcement, and here it is. I am having a baby!! The baby is due in October which I am excited about. I always thought it was fun to go to birthday parties in October and wear costumes and do Halloweenie stuff at the parties. I think the fall is a good time to have a baby for my own selfish reasons as well. It is easier for me to be fat in the winter and hopefully gives me enough time to lose the weight before summer. This has been a harder pregnancy for me than my first two. I hope that means I get to have a girl but most likely it means that I am getting older and feeling the stress of taking care of two little boys. Jeremy is way excited and loves to tell people that I am pregnant again. I am a roller coaster of emotions. I feel very happy that we get to have another baby, but at the end of the day when I am at my whits end, I feel there is no way that I am going to be able to take care of another baby. Jack will be about 3 and half and Luke will be barely 2. I think I was temporarily insane when I imagined that it was a good time to try to have another baby. No looking back now. I am trying to stay positive and visualize the end goal, ha ha.



Here are a few pictures since I haven't posted in such a long time.



Jack and his Best Friend Gordon, They go everywhere together (He is a lot like Jack and will never hold still for a picture.).




Luke all dressed up in P.J.'s and Red Heels






Here is a picture from Easter Sunday(Jeremy says, "Luke is putting out the vibe!").

You are definately going to have your hands full! It will totally be worth it. Think of how much fun the three little rug rats will have together!

When I am getting dressed in the morning, I think "yeah I can do this a few more times." Then, by the time I am making dinner I think "I hope I make it through this pregnancy, and we will be a great family of four." You are a brave woman!

That is so exciting. I applaud you for being so brave. I was just telling Brian that I am so happy with the family as it is right now. Just one boy just one girl. (of course I had the flu yesterday and he's on crutches recovering from surgery and hospital stay...so I'm not so energetic at the moment) I hope that I get the urge sometime, someday to have another babe. :) I know it won't be too long. There is nothing sweeter than a new baby, their faces, breath, little toes...ADORABLE! Anyway, that is so fun. I don't like the feeling being prego but there are days where that twix is calling your name and you're so glad you're pregnant and able to indulge a little more often. Good luck! That's great.

This is what I get for not checking your blog often enough-- I don't hear the big news until like 2 weeks later!
Congratulations!!!!! How exciting!
I've heard that girls cause more morning sickness, so maybe you are getting a girl! You better post as soon as you find out!!!
I'm a little jealous, I wish I could have another one...

cathy said...

Congrats Liz and Jeremy on #3! Liz, you will totally be able to manage 3! Never thought I would be doing it, but you somehow figure it out as you go. Your boys are beautiful and I'm sure #3 (boy or girl) will be just another beautiful addition to your cute family!

Heather Harper said...

Congrats Liz!!, and Jeremy. :)
Liz, I hope you have a girl!, but I have to say I had a totally different pregancy from the first and was quite surprised to find out it was another boy. I don't think there's anyway to tell. If your boys are anything like mine, I'll pray for you that the next one can be a girl!! I just couldn't add anymore noise and rowdiness to my life that boys bring. Aaah, being a mom is great isn't it, good luck!!
