Baby #3

For those who haven't heard, we are indeed expecting #3 sometime around February 14th. Ashby will be a big sister again and Dalton will finally be a big brother after a much longer wait than expected. We are thrilled to say the least. After we told the kids, Dalton looked at Ryan and said, "You're going to be a big Daddy now!" It was pretty funny. Ashby was so excited and began asking all kinds of questions. Later she wrote in her journal unprompted, "I am grateful for the blessing of having another baby girl (smiley face) or a baby boy (unhappy face)." She then told us she would be happy with either one. It has been fun to see their reactions. With a boy and a girl, this one will be the tie-breaker. We are all excited to find out what this one will be and should know for sure by Sept. 15th. I feel great although I noticed I am getting bigger much quicker than the last two. Sigh. Oh well. We feel very grateful and blessed to bring another child into our family.
