Even though I am so thrilled and proud to share our news there is a sort of bittersweet feeling in my heart. With just 5 years of marriage behind us Rick and I have had such an amazing ride so rich in love and life. I am sometimes overwhelmed with how fortunate I have been to have met and fallen in love with Rick, he is a man of so much strength and passion (and high stress ;)).... I wondered in the beginning how even I deserved him. Over the last few years I have grown amazingly and truly come into my own, I have learned to be comfortable in my own skin, I am a strong woman, wife, mother and friend and I am proud of those things and more than anything I am thankful for every experience I have had in my life to bring me here and allow me to appreciate life exactly how it is! Among my proudest accomplishments having and raising our girls. And now we are completing our family...already.. didnt we just get started? First blessed just 3 years ago with Keira Piper, and 18 months ago with Sienna Lynn I am so excited to share that in 5 months we are completing our family with the arrival of a third Baby Girl!
Baby Girl #3 is due Oct 7th! Without a doubt we are so thrilled, and despite the fact that when the new baby is born and we will have 3 children ages 3 and under (yikes) we are know we are so lucky to have been able to create this family together. Ok so to answer your questions.. yes I was sick as hell in the beginning, yes they are close together... and yes the 3rd was "planned", as in we had the conversation of whether a third child was an option for us and decided that it was and that was that. No we dont have a name yet and Yes 3 girls = 3 college tuitions and 3 weddings.... but who cares....what could be more amazing to look forward to than 3 sisters going through life together, growing into women and creating their own lives! I am so looking forward to what we all have in store together and all I hope is that these girls know that they are loved beyond comprehension not just by us but by all the great family and friends that we have in our lives!
So that is it, I decided to spare most of you the woes of all day seemingly eternal "morning sickness" and months of waiting for the he or she question to be answered and decided to wait to get to the good part before sharing our baby girl to the world... how selfish of me LOL ...well she is most likely our last so I wanted to hold on to her for as long as I could.. and I am sure that will never change.
