{One Quick Addition}

I need to mention the little gifts we gave our parents.  We finally were excited about them the night before Christmas.  We spent a lot of time working on this little gift for each of them, but were a bit nervous in the beginning...we didn't quite know how they would react...

To my parents, we gave them a fun calender with a special date marked that took my dad FOREVER to find...it was pretty funny!

To Ryan's Parents, we gave them a digital picture for their picture frame...it was kindof hard to tell what it was...(We would have done a calender, but my MIL's Sister does one for her EVERY year and we didn't want to duplicate her gift.)...

So scroll down....you know you want to see their fun little gifts...

We're hoping July 13th is a good day....I haven't yet checked to see if it's a Friday, but seeing how I have been induced with my kids, a week after their due date, I'm also hoping the 20th is a nice day, too.

I've been really tired, and have accidentally fallen asleep at work on numerous occasions.  SO embarrassing.  Not too much morning sickness, unless you count feeling crappy...but other than that, things have gone smoothly.  I even helped Ryan put the top bunk on and then proceeded to MAKE the bunk beds...I can say right now that that little activity (which took me 30 minutes) won't be happening very often.  Tanner is going to learn VERY SOON how to make his own bed, 5 feet in the air. 

The best part about feeling crappy is not having an appetite...Sweets just aren't doing it for me, where with the boys I ate CHOCOLATE constantly.  I crave mostly oranges and THICK BREAD smeared with SOFT BUTTER and RASPBERRY JAM. mmmmmmm!

And yes, we're hoping for a healthy baby girl, but I think I'll be content, maybe even excited, for another healthy baby boy

With Tanner and Taylor, we didn't find out the gender, because we wanted it to be a surprise... I don't know yet if we'll find out the gender.  Another "we'll see"...and it might be in July when we find out....with the rest of you!

Taylor is understanding the concept that mommy has a baby in her tummy, but keeps pointing to my breasts...  LOL!  He also thinks he has a baby in his tummy.

Tanner could care less..."Been there, Done that" essentially....Maybe when I get HUGE he'll get it.  :)

I am so relieved to let you all know that I'm not just putting on pounds for no reason...seriously, I feel so fat right now!  LOL!

It's so funny, because Cora used to point to my chest and say "mommy, you have a baby in your boobs?" Ummm...no. lol. But they get it once your belly becomes enormous. I am so happy for you guys!

Had a feeling this was coming! I'm pushing for "her" (because Bex needs a friend) to come on the 4th of July and have the same bday as her mom's favorite roommate!

Okay, I found out today that two people are pregnant- both with their 3rds. Is this coincidence or is someone trying to tell ME something?? Hope this pregnancy's a piece of cake!
