Starits baby #3!

At the very end of November I found out that I was pregnant!  Tommy and I were not expecting it to happen as soon as it did as it usually takes a bit of time, but this time things happened quick!  Which just goes to show that nothing quite goes the way you think it will or the way you plan! But we are super excited for baby number three!  Many people have asked if we are leaning more towards a boy or girl, but we honestly would be happy with either one.  We already have our boy and our girl, so we are excited!   Noah really wants a baby brother, "Because he doesn't have one."  Makenna still has no clue what's going on.  She probably won't know or understand until the new baby is actually here.  It is so strange to think that my baby girl will be a big sister! She is really good with baby dolls though so I think we should be ok! :)  Makenna's birthday is August 22nd and this baby is due August 5th.  So Makenna and the new baby will just be under two years apart.  Should be fun!
I had to go and get blood work done last week and I had to bring the kids with me.  My mom was going to meet me there and watch them while I was getting my blood drawn.  Before we left Noah asked where we were going and I explained I had to go to the doctor to check things for the baby.  So he excitedly hopped in the truck and we headed to the lab place.  Well when I was finished and went out to the lobby and said it was time to go.  Noah looked distraught and asked, "But where's the baby?"  When I explained that this was just to check the baby but not have the baby yet he was very sad.  He is ready!  Every day he tells me he thinks my stomach looks bigger and asks if it is big enough yet?  So he is definitely excited for this baby!  I told him the baby would not be coming until he was four years old, so that has helped him realize he will have to wait awhile for this new baby!  The following are the pictures I sent to my family and posted on facebook to announce our good news!  So we have ended 2012 with a bang!  :)  Which was better then how we really ended it, which was in bed on New Year's Eve....because all of us were sick and passed out by midnight!
