Exciting News!!!



Well we are excited that we will be adding a fourth member to our family in April. My due date is April 5th and we are hoping that it comes close to that date....not to much before! I know that if I give it a few months I might say something totally different but we have our reasons. Chase is a March Birthday so we would like this one to be in April so they each have their own month. I know, I know we over think things but you should expect that from us :) We got the kids these cute shirts and hid them under their pillows. When they got home from school we told them that they needed to go and take a nap. This upset Jaidon to the point of tears, which wasn't exactly the reaction we were going for. After a little persuasion we got them all in their rooms and they found them. It didn't take Miki long to catch on to what was going on. She got all excited and ran out to check what Jaidon and Chase's shirts said. We then helped the boys figure it out. It was fun to see how excited they were. Jaidon then told me that "You are getting kinda fat mom!" This made me laugh because at this point I was only 8 weeks. It should be fun to hear him in the upcoming months comment on how "fat" I am! I am feeling much better now....I was totally expecting this pregnancy to be like my last 2, I didn't get sick at all! Let's say I wasn't that lucky this time around! Thankfully I felt yucky at night so the kids were already in bed and I could just relax and whine to Chad how it is not supposed to be like this! Even though I was a little sick I know others who are a lot worse, so I just had to look at the bright side. Hopefully I am almost over it, I am feeling better and better every day. Now we just play the waiting game!

In other exciting news.......Chase has potty trained himself!!! Yippee! On Monday he decided that he was going to go potty all day on the potty and that was it. He has been going off and on for a few months but nothing consistent until Monday. All week he has done great with no accidents! I was even brave to venture out with him on all our crazy errands that we have to do. He did realize that it is great during sacrament meeting today....4 times and went every time:) I was a little nervous about potty training another boy, but he did it himself!! I was prepared to have two in diapers yuck!

CONGRATS!!! Your kids are so cute, you need to have about 5 or 6 more!!!

I am so happy for you. I hope that you start to feel better!

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT JAIDON IS 6!!! It seems like just a few months ago that I camped out on your couch while you were at the hospital.

Hey! I found you! I was reading some blogs and the memory of you telling me you had one popped into my head. I can't resist Google!

I hope you don't mind. Adorable pictures!
