A few months ago, when I wrote this post about the struggle I was having knowing whether or not Bobby and I were “done” having kids, reader Liz wrote this comment:
Somebody once told me you’ll always regret not having a child, but you will never regret a child you have…
Those words have stuck with me.
Which is part of the reason that when I called Emily the other day and she said, “What’s up?” and I said, “Um, you know how I’ve always said I’ll probably have an unplanned pregnancy because I’m so critical of couples who do and act like they had no idea how it happened…”
I said it with much joy and laughter!
But it’s true!
Bobby and I are thrilled to announce that we are expecting our third baby. We’re gonna have THREE kids!! THREE!! And you know what the wise sages of School House Rock say: Three is a magic number. Yes, it is! It’s a magic number!
We gave away all our baby stuff long ago. I gave away all my maternity clothes. We don’t know where we’re gonna put this kid. I can’t fit three car seats in my car. I had even told my pregnant cousin Anna that she could have my crib – the last baby thing we have. Oops! (Sorry, Annie. I’ll make it up to you! By having a BFF for your baby!)
But that doesn’t matter. It’s all going to be awesome.
Bobby and I have been walking around grinning and shaking our heads at each other for the past couple of days. We really can’t believe it. A big surprise, not part of “the plan”, but we are sooooo happy & thankful for this new gift that God has given us.
I can’t believe it!!!! Can you??
congrats. Our #5 (huh, how’d that happen? pretty sure alcohol was involved!) is the love of our lives, we can’t imagine our family without him. enjoy!
That is so awesome! Congratulations!!!
WOOOOOHOOOO!!!!!!! Congrats! That is SO awesome!! Enjoy
Congratulations! Very happy for you!
Congrats!!!! I am a faithful reader of this blog and can tell you are a great mommy and will be great with this third addition!
wow, congrats Jenny!! so exciting! so, huh, yeah… I’m curious how you got surprised by this one. but that might be too much for the blog.
but I’m where you were – like, really? how do you not know? people always have great stories that make sense, though! and for some reason it always makes me say – you know God REALLY wanted you to have this one. ha ha. 
Oh congratulations!!! Three is definitely a wonderful number – I’m so happy for you!
I am LATE to this party. Congratulations!
Damn you, May, for sucking me away from my computer for nearly the entire month! I had no idea! I am so thrilled for you! You are blessed!
