Well, since everyone that I know is on facebook, I know that this is already old news, but just in case...we are having another baby! This definitely wasn't our plan, so we are still really, really shocked, but mostly really, really excited! I have never wavered on wanting another baby...but I had SERIOUS issues with the thought of being pregnant again. I just really thought to get our third that we would adopt...which I'm still TOTALLY open to...but apparently, that's not what God had planned for us right now. We were planning to go ahead with a vasectomy and getting rid of all of our baby gear this month, but instead, here I sit, seven weeks pregnant! It really is crazy!
It was so much fun telling the kids...I really do regret not videoing them when we told them...they were SO excited! We started the conversation with, "we're really sorry to tell you both this, but we aren't going to Disney this year after Thanksgiving." And after their protests, I said, "instead, we're going to be getting ready for a new baby!!" They were over the top excited! I knew that they would be happy, but I had no idea how crazy that they would go! I wish that I would have anticipated their reaction so that I would have had it on film!
We wanted to tell the family in a fun way (like THIS when we found out we were expecting Sawyer), but we knew once Addie Grace and Sawyer knew that they would be telling everybody, so we decided to just go ahead and call everybody! I woke several people up awfully early on that Saturday morning!
A few weekends ago, we had a girls getaway with some of my friends from college. They were so sweet and threw me a surprise shower and I was so surprised!! We had such a great time and I loved getting to celebrate this blessing with those special girls! I didn't take pictures of the shower with my camera other than my cake, which I thought was really funny, so this is all that I've got. Some of the other girls were taking pictures with their cameras, so I'll have to get those.

Both Addie Grace and Sawyer are deadset on having a little sister. Sawyer won't even have a conversation about having a little brother. He said he wants a little sister and he wants her name to be Addie Grace, too. I think that's a huge compliment to his sweet, big sister!
Anyway, that's our big news, and we would definitely appreciate your prayers!!! Brace yourselves for early December!! We are!!
