three

you didn't think i forgot about two on the second, did you? good. i didn't.

someone was not very cooperative. and it wasn't the unborn child in my womb.

it's three kids on the third! {for this month. we'll go back to two on the second until baby is born}.

our third is due this september and we'll find out next week if we'll be adding a third boy to our troop or a girl.

linking to Steph who takes pictures of her 4 kids on the fourth

      Thanks, Melissa! A friend gave me this dress awhile ago but when I put it on, it sorta made me look pregnant. So I saved it and now it's a perfect maternity dress. :)

      That's so exciting, Margie! You guys don't waste any time, do you? :D Love it. Babies are great. And yes! SO MANY BABIES are coming. I am currently pregnant at the same time as 3 other close friends. This has never happened. I'm just sad it's happening while I'm away. But happy all our kids will be born within a month or 2 of each other. Love it!

    I commented over at the Strickland Scoop but have to here too....

    HORRAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

    so great, and it sounds like you're in a great situation with your UK midwife/doctors she's worked with closely. do you have any more boy names?? after Lily we ran out of girl names we agreed on so were thankful Oli was a boy lol!

      Thanks, Emily!
      Yeah, the midwife is great. The doctor I haven't met yet, but he's Ugandan but my midwife has nothing but good things to say about both him and the Ugandan midwives that operate out of the hospital. Needless to say, lots of firsts for me!
      We do have more boy names. I'm biding my time to put the pressure on for a definite thumbs up from Jamie until we know one way or the other (why waste my energy, ya know?) but I've got a top 4 for both genders. It wasn't easy, though. That's for sure. Also wanted to name Jude Oliver. Did I ever tell you that? Jamie didn't go for it at the time, though.

      I remember you liking the name Olivia if Jude was a girl, so Oliver makes sense too :) Our friends from church are having a boy any week now and also naming him Oliver. Doesn't bother us at all, if it's the name you love!

      Ha! You know, I never thought of that, Archie! I knew people had babies overseas, but those are ICS, aren't they? Oooh, I like going first. :)
