And baby makes 5!!!

So this summer Jake and I decided that we were going to try for another baby. A lot of people are surprised by this, especially those of you who knew we had an appointment set for the ever so lovey "snip snip'!

So here is what went down. We had the biggest discussion on wether or not to have another baby....and decided that 2 was a good number, one of each was cool, and that we were close to the point of making it through a resturant meal before Sam lost his patience, trips are fun, we don't have to worry about the "middle child thing" Our kids are close, they play well together (well, most of the time!), etc, etc, etc.

So, I made Jake's appointment...and then we both felt very unsure....we had a couple more discussions.....and were just on the fence. There are also so many good things about having another baby too....so we just left it. We had 2 months before the appointment. We figured that if it was "meant to be" we would get pregnant in those 2 months.....2 months later....still not pregnant....

Now we are at the day of Jake's appointment....I am driving him to work (since I had to take him to his appt. They don't let you drive home by yourself after a snip snip) and we are just both...well sad....we did not want to do something we would regret later on in life. So, Jake cancelled the appointment.

So now here we are, 7 weeks PREGNANT!!!! YAHOO! This is a pic of Jake's response when he found out!

So we are doing it! We are going to be outnumbered! Baby #3 is due on March 5/09. The day before Faith's 4th birthday. Faith is very excited and when she found out the baby would be coming around her birthday, she said "Mommy, I will give the new baby a piece of my birthday cake" She is the sweetest! Sam of course does not fully understand what's going on, but does love to lift up my shirt, say baby and then kiss it and hug it.

We are very excited!
