In Case They Ever Wonder

Now it's not for sure, but for the first time in several weeks, I feel like I might live through this pregnancy. (Since this is the fourth time I've done this, I know in my head that I will live through it, but you cannot convince my body of that fact.) Signs from the past week that this pregnancy may not totally end me: I cooked dinner last night (for the first time in I'll-never-tell-how long), and we actually all ate together at the table! Now, it was no masterpiece, but there were vegetables! I almost felt like a real mom! I made it to yoga last night. Now, it was Yoga for Relaxation, not my former kick-my-tail yoga class, but seeing as how it has been months since I've exercised, I'm still calling it a win! I've stayed up past 9:30 most nights this past week! Sophie has outlasted me plenty of nights during this pregnancy, but I've actually seen her sleeping in her bed more often than not in the past week or so! And, this may be the biggest sign of life...

Well, Will decided that he was having a brother no matter what , and the best we were able to do to prepare him was to help him expect either a boy brother or a girl brother! Well, when the ultrasound tech told us we were having a little girl, nine voices (only ten of us were there for the news!) cheered while one little low voice began chanting, "no girls, no girls, no girls!" Well, big brother has come around, and he's taking comfort in the fact that he is mama's only precious son , making him all the more special! Meanwhile, we are so excited about another little girl, and we can't wait to meet Miss Lucie (middle name TBD) this October or November. Growing up I dreamed of having three little girls, and my dream is coming true, with a big 'ol bull of a boy, who is beyond my wildest dreams, thrown right in the middle! I am so thankful to the Lord for Sophie, Will, and Lillie, and our precious new baby Lucie!
