Big News!

We are excited to announce……..

I took a pregnancy test on the morning of March 13^th.  Jim had been in Wisconsin on a fire company trip and was coming home late that night.  I had the boys make a “Welcome Home Daddy” sign and signed their names at the bottom.  We hung it on the door so he would see it when he came home.  After the boys went to bed I took a smaller piece of poster board and wrote “and Baby #3” and attached it to the bottom of the sign.  When Jim came home late that night, I was still awake….too excited to fall asleep.  I heard him in the laundry room saying “Really?  Really?”  It was so great to be able to surprise him with the 3^rd since he was with me when I tested with both the boys!

Since this will be our last pregnancy, I wanted to document every couple of weeks so I could look back and remember.  Along with updating the chalkboard, I am planning on answering some questions I have found through Pinterest.
