It's March 1. We just sent this picture to my families this week. It should arrive at my parents and Luke's parents today and the rest of the family tomorrow. I'm SO nervous! It's weird. Why be nervous? I had no idea I'd be nervous. It's like... just waiting for reactions..and wondering who's going to be THRILLED? who's going to be so mad that we waited this long to tell? who's going to be speechless?... will they all call? Did i have the addresses all right? Oh I hope so.



I mean, it's not like we ever acted like we wanted another kid. We (that's a she-we, I'm not sure this actually applies to Luke) even lied straight out sometimes. Partly because we weren't sure if we actually were going to have a third (why get hopes up?) partly because it's our business (might as well make it surprise!). Anyway... yah.

This is the other pic we sent to just our parents. I just love it. I wish it showed up better. Let's just say Kate was NOT cooperating, and it actually made for a cute progression of pictures. And, in it's own way, makes us wonder what we were thinking.

By the time I post this it will be old news that we are pregnant. I just wrote it today because I wanted to remember how I felt when I sent the pics. US mail has never seemed so slow!

I thought my parents might get it yesterday (some things go overnight to them, you never know). Then my mom started talking to me on facebook and I realized she had no clue. I had about a 45 minute chat with her...the whole time thinking, she's going to know tomorrow. Will she know that's all I was thinking?

I can't believe I've kept quiet for 2 months. Not a peep. I think my belly has given me away more than my mouth. And Kaden's kept quiet. It's like he has no clue the importance of what he knows. He just knows it...and I think he assumes everyone else knows to. No big deal. Altho, one time he almost told my mom that daddy had been cooking dinner lately. That might have been a HUGE give-away!

so, this is goodbye until I post this...whenever that day comes.
