Getting a little glimpse
The girls at Clumpies two weeks ago.
On Monday we'll be driving up to Oak Ridge to have a 3D scan at my aunt's office. She scanned me several times with the girls and always is the one who tells us what we're having. I won't lie, I'm hoping for a boy. I could give the cheesy- I just hope its healthy response but I'll assume that goes without saying.
I really thought I'd be posting more about this pregnancy but I don't think I've been able to think about it all that much. Life seems too hectic. When I do think about what the reality might be like, I can see myself stressfully trying to get a baby to latch on while Julia is peeing on the floor and Lizzie is whining about soemthing. So I just don't go there that much. I need to work on having more positive happy thoughts instead of worrying about what it might be like. Sometimes when the girls are singing and performing for us at the end of the night, a private show only Andy and I get to see (Lizzie in a princess dress and Julia in her Elmo costume), I wonder what role a third one might play. They really are so funny, it's exciting to see what kind of personality this next one might have.

we are anticipating our ultrasound in a few weeks, too; and, of course, we're hoping for a girl this time...i found that three little ones was easier than i had expected. with the first and even second there are so many adjustments to make. with the third, you are already in baby mode and have learned to juggle, so it all came easier. we have enjoyed each second of oliver's little life, and i hope that you end up feeling the same with your new one.

That's so good to hear Amber. I feel like lately I've been getting a lot of comments like- wow they are all going to be really close together, yuck, I remember those nights of not sleeping I don't envy you, you should potty train Julia before then and on and on. I'm either surrounded by moms who are done with that stage and don't want to repeat it or friends who are pregnant with their first. I have definitely let fear and worry grip my heart which is such a waste of emotion not to mention sinful. Something I'm just now realizing.
I will certainly be thinking pink for you!

God has a wonderful way of allowing women to forget the different stages their children go through. You used to wrap your body around my legs each morning at 5am. See I forgot all about it! ILU!

You might not want to listen to my advice as I have zero kids, but I have potty trained a bunch of kids (at preschool). In my experience, the older sibling regresses back to "incontinence" (do you call it that after they've been potty trained once?) when the new baby is born. My sister's philosophy seemed to be just wait until they're about 3 1/2 and tell them to potty train themselves...or something like that.
