No more muscles. . .



It is quite clear to me that I have no more stomach muscles. The pregnancy with the boys ruined that:). It also has been a rough winter. . .LOTS of comfort foods!!! But that isn't the reason that my belly is sticking out so far. Yes, Dan and I are expecting another baby! We feel very blessed and are excited for this new addition to our family. The kids are excited too--Caleb probably the most. He was very disappointed that we told him he couldn't be at the hospital when the dr. cut the baby out of mommy's tummy. He also was concerned that he didn't know that number to call us, so we assured him we would call him right away:) Today, he said that he wanted to be there when the dr. did his cutting so that he could see what my insides look like--maybe a future surgeon! Kylie now claims that she has a baby in her tummy and she insists that it needs to be a girl baby, "No boy baby at Kylie's house, only girl baby." Bennet is excited, but he isn't as excited to share the news--often time the first thing Caleb says to people (including people in stores) is that my mommy has a baby in her tummy. Oh, by the way, it is only one baby. As my friend who had twins put it, "Twins are good, but a single baby is REALLY good." :)

Looking good! Congratulations on being pregnant and there being only 1 this time :).
We just took our birthing class today and am reminded that a child must bring extreme joy for so many people to endure the actual birthing process...multiple times.
