We told the news to everyone last weekend and everyone has been very excited for us. Addison's reaction was classic though. First she had some concerns over whether the same thing would happen this time around as when Jake was born (she let us know that she didn't want Mommy to go to the hospital and didn't want to not have a mommy and daddy for a long time - Jake spent a little over a month in the NICU and hospital following his premature birth and so we were gone quite a bit in the first few weeks). Then later on that night out of nowhere she said (in a tone that sounded a lot more like a parent talking to their child instead of a 4 year old talking to their Mommy and Daddy), "So, did you all plan this or what? Did you even think about it? Or did you just come up with it on your own?" Not the reaction we were expecting from her! But still a reaction that probably could have been expected from some of our family for sure! :)
Anyway, she's very excited now and is busy coming up with names...Jake still doesn't have a clue, but he will soon enough I'm sure. So, in honor of a new baby coming into our family I decided to post a couple of our first two babies...
Addison Kate - 2 days old - on her way home from the hospital.
Jake Adam - 5 weeks old - his first day at home.

We are SO pumped for you!!! Excited and SO glad its you not me! Truth, ahhh, truth. Addison's response, classic. However, you're being blessed with an unexpected one for reasons: you're great parents, it'll keep you young and tired, and Jake and Addison are going to be fantastic bigger brother/sister to your new one. CONGRATS and hope/pray the sickness goes away SOON. Lemme know what you need
Congratulations! We pray this is a safe, healthy pregnancy without complication. The kids are welcome anytime if you need a break or anything. God bless you!
