The Secret is Kinda Out

So yeah....I know some (if not most) of you reading this already know, but I finally found something I'm apparently really good at-- makin' babies. A third little one is on the way, and I couldn't be happier. Aidan is really excited about it; when we briefly had an apartment (before our new house was finished) he shared a bedroom with Maia, and he's anxious to do that again. He really loves his little sis, which is nice because it allows me to do things around the house without fear of him testing whether or not her head makes an adequate doorstop, or if toddlers perform as impressively as Slinkies when pushed down a flight of stairs. Maia, for her part, figures if her brother is excited she should be too, and reacted accordingly when we told them the big news.

My parents have been notified as well, and while I'm sure they're happy, I can tell they are a tad worried about the logistics and finances associated with a third one. And probably how often we're going to dump all three kids on them. But I'm sure they'll adapt-- after all, everyone tells me that the jump from 2 to 3 isn't as big a deal as going from 1 to 2. I can definitely see that, especially since Aidan is big enough to really help out with things now. As for the in-laws-- well, they're in Africa right now, so they'll find out when they get back. Possibly by reading this very entry...you never know.

So no cute stories this week, but I promise that you'll have plenty in the near future. Especially since Maia just strung her first 2 word phrase together, and it was "No, mama." I think she's gonna be a handful.
