Wow, what a great way to share the news!! I was really confused at first and thought maybe you were making it multiple choice as a test to your loyal readers!! :-) Congratulations. I hope that all goes well for you.

Believe it or not, we are actually beginning to talk about baby #4. I definitely want to be moved into the house first before I deal with morning sickness and such. Maybe May?? Then Melayna and Baby would be 2 and 1/2 years apart instead of the normal 1 and 1/2 years of the others. We'll see where God leads with that since we thought we were done after three.

I guess I always thought you wanted four. Then you weren't pregnant at your "normal" time and I began to wonder. We actually were never planning any closer than two years apart, so this one is a little earlier. Of course, Chris wasn't necessarily planning on ANY more. Like you said, we'll see where God leads. :)

I just thought that it would be fun to do it that way. I enjoy swapping "l&d" stories with other moms anyway.
