Announcement!

We are thrilled to announce that Baby #3 is on his/her way. Josh and I found out several weeks ago that I was pregnant, but kept it a secret until we told Lake and Harper on December 23 and our parents and siblings on Chritmas Eve and Christmas Day. I went to the doctor today for the first time and heard the heart beat and was reassured that everything is going along as planned. I have been quite miserable the past few weeks, but hope that will get better as the next few weeks go on. My due date is August 1, so I am preparing for a long, hot, Iowa summer.
Lake is so excited!!! Everyday he asks me if "that baby" is still in my tummy, how big is it, and when is it coming out. He has big plans for a brother, and has convinced Harper that she too wants a baby brother. Harper tells me that she is going to hold the baby. I could have my arms full with lots of help when the baby arrives, but I am very much looking forward to experiencing this pregnancy with a 4 and 2 year old.
