wow, i am actually super excited to announce to the blog world that we are expecting our third baby!!!!!!  i say actually because up until now, i didn’t know for sure if we wanted 3 kids, or could handle 3 kids, or could afford 3 kids, or could fit 3 kids in our lifestyle etc. etc. etc.  i listed out all the logical reasons why our 2 boys are just the perfect number but i will be honest, i knew we wanted more kids, i was just trying to plan ahead and be in control of my life which – which is rarely the case. we tend to “fly by the seat of our pants”.  yes, we got married at 22, yes we quit our jobs and went backpacking for 8 months, yes we quit our jobs (again) to pursue photography full time, yes we opened our studio and had tayus (#2 kid) in the same month, yes we bought a house in a week and yes, we just had to “think” about baby #3 and battaboom-battabing… here we are.  like i said, we are kind of just like that.

so now it is official,  i didn’t believe it until i saw this cute little peanut in there, heart pumping, toes wiggling that i came to terms with what i had known all along – of course we wanted more kids and we are so happy to have a growing family. no, it isn’t logical – we will be out numbered, it’ll be harder to travel on planes, one more snowsuit to wrestle with, etc etc. but you know what?  alex and i love eachother and we have lots of love to give to our kids.  enough love for one more that’s for sure.  the scary part is i always told myself either two or four – i like even numbers.  hmmmm, we will have to see.  i can’t say i am thrilled to actually deliver another child (can i get a witness out there moms)?  but it is all worth it when the doctor (or midwives in our case) hand you a little human and they are yours to take home.  oh i can just see christmas around the dinner table – a full house full of laughter.  that is what i have always dreamed of.

so, as i type this announcement i feel incredibly excited, thankful, joyful, blessed and hormonal (oh, i mean – what?  ok yeah i said it, hormonal ok?  i am mushy and centimental all day – hence the loooooong blog post that was meant to only be a quick little announcement and me fully crying during grey’s anatomy)!

boy or girl? we shall wait and see!  send in your votes people!  albojer #3 due in late august.

wow, 11:30pm – i gotta get some sleep! good night!
