Thanks for a new chapter.


Ida gave me this list the other day. Because... if you haven't guessed or haven't heard... we are expecting a new baby sometime around Mothers Day. I would especially love for it to arrive on Mothers Day, mainly because I think 5-10-15 would be an awesome birthday.

The kids are thrilled and they all talk about it every day. What it's doing, how big it is now, how it gets its air and food, where it will be born, how old everyone will be in May, how big I personally will get by May (an especially popular topic). 

Matt and I are thrilled too and so, so thankful for such a gift. This will put our kids at two, three, and four years apart, which I think is pretty cool. As to whether this will complete our family, I think probably yes, but maybe check back with us in five years. Ha!

Ida wants a sister but is also content with the prospect of being the extra-special only girl. I asked Theo his preference the other day and after giving it some thought he shrugged and answered, "Either way would be good!" Yep, either way we've got a busy, happy home ready and waiting for this little one.

So excited for you and your family. That is great. Also, I think that it is great the Ida likes the name Alice. Albeit, it is at the end of the list. HA HA!
