There's nothing like a new baby on the way to make you dust off your computer and open up your blog that's been dormant for months!
In the end of January, we found out we were pregnant with baby #3 (yes, only ONE baby this time around)! It happened just a tad sooner than we anticipated, but through some tender mercies God prepared us for what was coming. After a little shock wore off, we were so thrilled to think of another baby being sent our way. She's due October 6th and the image of three little sisters growing up together does my heart so much good. They're the luckiest girls on the planet to have each other. We can't wait.
This pregnancy has been more rough in every aspect than my pregnancy with the twins, but I guess you hear that pregnancies get harder and deliveries get easier as you go. I was super nauseous and just completely zapped of energy the first 16 weeks. My heartburn has been insane and my lower back is a killer...but all is well!! I love watching the belly bump slowly appear and then to start feeling the movements. This baby girl is a mover, my goodness, so that's been fun. She totally takes my breath away sometimes with her sudden jabs and kicks and who knows what else she's doing in there.
Kate & Olivia know there is a baby in my belly and will point to my belly when I say "where's mama's baby?" but then again they point at Robbie's belly and say "baby" and often their own bellies as well. Still working on those two...
It's been fun to make it past 33.5 weeks, which is when the twins came last pregnancy, and experience totally new territory! Baby girl has measured big most of the pregnancy, so I'm hoping for a bigger baby. I'm 36 weeks this week and hoping she's in for the long haul because I have a breastfeeding class at 39 weeks and I'm getting a grab bag worth $100 because I was one of the first to sign up....so ya, duh, gotta be there.
We love you, baby girl, and can't wait to meet you!!!!!!!!!

I have so many pictures taking from the angle of my on the couch. So sick, so thankful for grandma who came and played with the girls.
Robbie has done the dishes too many times to count in the past 6 months. He is THE BEST and such a saint.
Creepy picture I sent to Robbie, but I had to document what poopy diaper changes were like for a few months. Had to cover up otherwise I'd literally throw up.
The girls announcing they're going to be big sisters.
Baby girl at 19 weeks.
I haven't documented my baby bump much this time around, but here I am just starting to show. 24 weeks ish.
It's been so fun sharing this pregnancy with Emily, who's due with twins a month after I'm due. LOVE HER.
33.5 weeks!
