The word is getting out. Our close friends and family know, so I no longer am worried about posting it online.
Coming this October 3 (or more likely September...), we will be adding to our family. The boys will be getting either a new brother or sister. Of course we'd like a little girl, but honestly I don't care what we have. Three boys would be pretty cool too. And we'd have plenty of clothing...
Hopefully, just one. Twins don't run in our family, but man, at the rate I feel like I'm growing, I wouldn't be totally surprised. I'm kidding, kind of. 9 weeks and I feel like I'm starting to outgrow my clothes. I've heard this is totally normal for your third, your body knows what is coming and decides not to fight it. Why didn't my body tell my brain this, though? It would have made things a lot easier.
I've never been pregnant (visibly pregnant) in the summer. This time I will be in the most uncomfortable of the 9 months during the hottest time of the year. Yippee! ;) But I am looking forward to it, in a weird sort of way. Maybe I'll get some use out of that maternity swimsuit I've had for the last five years.
Nate and Nile are excited in only the way that a 4 1/2 and 3 year old can be. They pretty much don't care right now. Every once in a while, Nile will remember, and say something like he did at breakfast this morning. "When it's summer, and the baby comes, you'll have to sit in that chair, right?" (He was remembering a conversation last night when we told him why he can't sit at the head of the dinner table.) Or, "After summer, when the baby comes, I'll be in PRESCHOOL! Yeah!"
For the record, Nate thinks it's a girl, and wants to name her Emily or Emma. Nile thinks it's a boy. If it is a boy, Nate wants to name him Andrew. Sorry, Emily, Emma, and Andrew, but we told him we'll have to think of more original names ;)

Glad you're able to tell people now. It's always so exciting!
Congratulations! So excited for you guys!
I am totally amazed that Nile is 3 already! I didn’t get to spend as much time with him as I did Nate. Will Nate start kindergarten next year?
I am so tickled about your pregnancy. That is wonderful!! I am so impressed with all you and Tom do; working full-time, and taking such remarkable care of those two handsome sons of yours. Anne, I wish you a very healthy pregnancy. I know you take great care of yourself. It would be fun to have a girl, wouldn’t it? I have three sons, and there were many times I didn’t think I would make through the day. J Rick was out of town for schooling a lot when they were younger. There is a special bond between a Mom and her Son(s). And, they are so good to their Mom now.
Congratulations! I wish you the best. Any name you choose will fit. Somehow babies seem to grow into their name.
Hi;-) Thanks for the blog comment re: Girls on the Run, and more importantly congratulations on your pregnancy! So Great! I currently have 4yr old twins, and last nite's episode of the Office made both me and the DH want another;-)
