And Then There Were Three...

Well, Aaron and I have been dying to let people know that we've got a third little peanut on the way!! I am 14 weeks, which is the longest we've ever waited to spill the news, but we were waiting until we knew if it was a boy or girl this time. So, drum roll please, at my appointment yesterday we found out that it's another little boy! I can't say I'm disappointed by any means, since there is nothing but sheer joy about awaiting for a sweet little baby to come, boy or girl. But we were not surprisingly hoping for a girl this time, hopefully the 4th time will be the charm. My dad actually watched Tatton and Lincoln while Aaron and I were at the appointment yesterday. Afterwards I called my dad to let him know the news because Tatton has been quite determined that he was going to get a baby sister (there was a small fit that followed) But as I told my dad the news he just laughed for a minute, knowing that we were hoping for the opposite, and said, "Well, the world is in great need of good missionaries." And with that I felt a complete change of outlook on my being a mother and raising these soon to be three little missionaries. So although I don't get to buy any pink this go around, we are extremely excited to have a new little guy come into our family. I cannot wait until that special time in the hospital. I so look forward to that mini-vacation in the hospital, kind of like at the temple, there's not interruptions, no stress of daily life at home, it's just me and Aaron spending the most wonderful time with our new baby. Needless to say August 11th can't come soon enough!!
