And then there were four...

Well, here it is--the moment of truth. Not only are we really having another baby, but now I get to find out who actually reads my blog! Our due date is March 30th, so if you're reading this past that date, give me a call and I'll let you know how it went! Seriously, we are very excited to add a fourth bambino to our little (or not so little) family. We told the girls a few days ago and figured if we didn't break the news soon, they would. Abbie was very cute. The conversation went something like...

Mom: I'm gunna have a new baby.

Abbie:
(spits out a mouth full of Ritz crackers) No you're not!
Mom: Yes, I am.

Abbie:
(big grin) Really?!
Mom: Yeah, really.

Abbie:
(big grin diminishes to disbelief) Mom...are you really?
Mom: (laughs) Abbie, I really am having a baby.

Abbie:
(jumps off the picnic bench and runs around the park, squealing)
Ellie: (joins in the running and squealing, not realizing--or caring--what we're talking about)
Eden: (stares at her sisters as if they were crazy, decides they're not, and joins in)


Ahhh...my girls! Aren't they cute?! Abbie is
very excited and full of questions. Ellie, I think, is excited and full of really weird questions. And Eden won't know what hit her! She has some serious jealousy issues. (This baby better hit the ground running!) Justin & I feel very blessed. We are constantly amazed at the gift of these three beautiful girls. We can't wait to meet our next little miracle!
