Baby #3

Yes, we are going to have another baby! (All my friends here in Vermont are probably rolling their eyes and saying, "I knew it!") We were planning on keeping it a secret until we found out what it is, but I'm not very good at lying or keeping a straight face about it and Bryan accidentally spilled the beans to one of his classmates. So, we decided it was time to make the announcement! I am thirteen weeks along and due on July 24th. This pregnancy wasn't exactly planned. Bryan and I had talked about having another baby but hadn't come to an agreement yet. I guess it was meant to be. We are thrilled!! We wanted to let Niah be the one to tell our families, but last night when we told her that there was a baby in my tummy, she didn't react the way we thought she would. She looked at my tummy and you could see the wheels turning. She said, "No you're not." I guess my belly isn't big enough to have a baby in it yet! A few minutes later I asked what she thought of it and she said, "That's interesting." She will not talk about it to anyone. If Bryan or I bring it up she says, "I don't want to talk about it." Tonight while I was tucking her in bed she asked me, "Mom, why are we having another kid?" I told her that Heavenly Father decided it was time for us to have a baby. She then asked me, "Does Heavenly Father make babies?" My response was simply, "Yes, he does." Hopefully, she'll come around. We can't wait to meet this little person and we will definitely post when we find out what it is!

Congrats! I can't belive you didn't tell anyone...you are good :) Niah is so funny. I bet she will be excited once it sinks in. Millie just points to everyones belly and says BABY! She has NO IDEA what it means :) I am so excited for your family!

Congrats Nat! So so exciting! That's funny about Niah's reaction...my little nephew is the same way, anytime we even joke about his baby brother or sister he has a complete meltdown, complete with crying, screaming, the whole bit! My mom actually just got a text from your mom and is so excited too! You girls have such adorable kids!

Deanna said...

Congrats, Nat! I can't wait to know what it is! Hopefully you haven't been sick...

Congratulations! That is so exciting. July 24th is a WONDERFUL day to have a baby (at least Clayton and I think so).

Clayton didn't care about my pregnancy either. He has known since 8 weeks and still (20 weeks later) hasn't said anything about it unless I bring it up. I'm sure that she'll get excited once you start to show a little more though!

Ariane, Back me up on this one...I was talking to Ariane on Wednesday night, saying, "Gosh, I know a few people are pregnant...like probably Natalie...and (i will not mention the other at this point in time)" And Ariane's all, "How do you know?" And I was like, "I DON'T know...but I can just feel it...I guess it's the womanly vibe/intuition or something"

So CONGRATS!!! That is AWESOME!

I love how Niah feigns to be unconcerned, but then asks why are WE having another kid. She probably can't imagine her place in the family with another person until they are here and then it all fits together.
Congratulations! Aunt Dee

Annette said...

Congrats!

Kaija said...

I had a feeling that when you posted "Latest News" you would announce baby # 3! Congrats! I am so excited for you! How funny Niah is! I bet she will get more interested the farther along you are! Miss ya and hope to see you next time you are in Utah!

Jaden and Stacy said...

CONGRATS!!! That is so exciting! It doesn't sound like Niah is very excited. She will come around I think. How does Chloe feel about this? Does she understand. I am really excited for you. I sure hope that you have good pregnancies. Keep us updated. Good luck!

miss dawn said...

Hey! okay I am so-o excited for the new baby! :) When you were here over the holidays I thought you kinda acted pregnant.. for ex: you were holding Addison and Sandi or Linds said "when are you guys going to have another one?" and you just shrugged your shoulders and laughed :) ha ha! I love it!
I'm so excited! Hope you are feeling well too!

Unknown said...

Congrats! I had no idea. Good thing I checked your blog- I always seem to be out of the loop with these things. Thanks again for hosting such a fun birthday party. Our girls had SO MUCH FUN!
