And one on the way...

We're expecting a third baby-- a surprise, for sure, but one we've embraced fully. However, I often wonder how I'm going to handle the 3-under-4 scenario. My dear friend Kristin in Vancouver just asked me how I was feeling about this one on the way, and here is a bit of my response to her:

"This pregnancy is, by far, the tiredest one I've had, but now that I'm over the first bit, I am more optimistic and excited about this next babe. Most of the time. Except for when my adorable and willful 1 year old spends the day tantruming and my sweet and emotional 3 year old spends the day testing my limits...and then I really don't know what I'm going to do to muster up the energy for another. But some days I just can't get enough of the chubby cheeks and the bright eyes and the hilarious comments and the explosion of learning and the sweet affection that fills our house...and then I wonder why we wouldn't want to add another one!
