Happy Birthday Surprise!

On July 20^th Matthew turned 32 (old man)! It started out as any regular birthday morning. Pancakes, kisses and gifts. Until…the last present was opened up, then life changed…for the THIRD time!

I woke up that morning thinking that ‘Gee, it would be funny if I were pregnant and could tell the birthday boy on his actual birthday.’ Since we went off birth control about 6 weeks ago, I honestly thought that it would be zero-chance that I was already pregnant (especially since we wanted to get pregnant more like sep/October). But apparently with Matthew and me all we have to do is talk about a baby and I get knocked up.  So yes, we are expecting baby number 3 in March!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I then made up a few shirts for the kids to wear that night at Matthews little b-day dinner. Malloy’s is three little stick figure faces, and Wesley’s says “Little bother status expiring March 2014” (though I guess if you want to be technical he’ll always be a little bother AND a big brother).

 

It was fun telling the family. There were lots of tears, squeals and hugs. I’m only 4 weeks, so it’s all very, very, very early, but I can’t keep a secret like this so I figure why not share it with the world! So baby number 3… WOW! I’m a little overwhelmed just thinking about the number 3…but I guess I have 36 more weeks to get used to it. Per my online checking (which is very accurate I’m sure… hahah) I would be due March 30^th. I’ve been early each time though… so we’ll see. And once again we don’t plan on finding out the gender… but will be taking bets. Malloy’s banking on a girl (she said ‘since I already have a brother I need a sister’). Any other EARLY guesses?
