And Baby Makes Five....

We're excited to be expecting a new addition to our family!! I'm due on Jan. 21 -- right about my birthday which makes me about 10 1/2 weeks right now. I can't believe how fast it's going too!!

This time around has been sooooo different! I'm sure I've never been this tired in my life! Ha! I guess it's just preparing me for what next winter/spring will be like. :) I'm already looking forward to hitting the second trimester and hopefully having more energy and some appetite. Right now I'm pretty much living on fruit and string cheese (which I normally think is disgusting -- the cheese that is.)

To say that Madeleine is excited would be an understatement! She talks about the baby a LOT. When we told her we were going to have a baby she immediately said "I want a BABY SISTER!" We explained that God will give us what he thinks we should have and we will love it. She thought for a minute and said "Well, can I pray about it at night ...... for a sister?" How sweet is that!! Her nightly prayers usually consist of her asking God for her to be a good big sister and Harrison to be a good big brother and then praying for a little sister! We never fed her any of that -- she came up with all of it on her own!

When I went to the dr. today the heartbeat was in the 170s so maybe she'll get her wish! I have had a feeling from day one that it's a girl, but I can honestly say that I don't care AT ALL. I have one of each so this is just icing on the cake!
