Baby #3 is due November 18!!

I am besides myself excited for this baby.  I always knew I would have more than 2 kids, but after we had Naomi, Joe wasn't so sure that he wanted to go for a third.  This might sound dramatic, but I was heart broken and longed for a third baby.  I even told my friend, Hillary, that I might need to go to counseling to grieve the baby I wasn't going to have.

 I love being pregnant, I love having a newborn and I think seeing your baby for the first time is more amazing than anything else in the world.  I feel so extremely blessed that I get to experience these things again.

I'm also excited to extend my job as stay at home mom even longer.  Before I went back to work, I wanted to have my kids as close together as possible so I could get back to work faster.  Now, I am in no rush.  Going back to work a couple months ago made me realize how much I love being home with my kids.  It made me realize that the job that I once feared is now my favorite job.

Here's to being a family of 5.  More chaos, more laundry, more hugs, more kisses, more complete.

Happy Easter!  I hope you enjoyed your day. Since we don't have a lot of family by us, Holidays are usually pretty low key.  We had Joe's brother, Mike, and his girlfriend over for breakfast, went to church, played with friends at the park, and are finishing off the day with a small ham dinner (which is cooking right now).  Joe and the girls are enjoying a movie downstairs, which made making dinner quite lovely for me.  : ) I kind of like cooking when I don't have a toddler pulling at my leg.  Anyway, here are some pictures of some Easter fun from the week.  I hardly got any pictures today and not one picture of us dressed nicely for church!

Mia had so much fun decorating the eggs to look like princesses.
