Big Announcement!!

Back on Easter weekend when our families were in town

we gave each family a little Easter basket of treats.

Well inside their biggest egg was this surprise!

Yes you read that correctly!!

We're having our FINAL baby!!!

(yes I have double checked with the Dr multiple times and it's just one not two babies! lol)

Our kids found out the same time as everyone else.

Jordan & Bree took this picture when they read it.

Laiklyn's reaction is priceless!

"WHHHAAATTTT?!"

Looks like she really is going to spill all the jellybeans shoved into her mouth! 

Yes her world will be rocked! haha

Then she tried to destroy the evidence.

The parents all squealed with shock and delight!

Anden smiled and said cool.

And then there's Taylee, my mini me, who throws her hands in the air and exclaims,

"WHAT?! REALLY?! How the heck am I going to take care of two babies!!"

I immediately hugged her and was like "I KNOW JUST HOW YOU FEEL!!"

And then I paused and it dawned on me "Oh wait - that's my responsibility not yours! lol

She smiles and shakes her head while exlaiming,

"I can't handle another Laiklyn! She's crazy"

hahahaha um maybe miss Taylee has overheard me a bit too much

express my torment about whether or not to have another baby! ;-)

So there's our big announcement!!

I thought I was done after 2 kids

and then I knew I was done after 3 kids.

But Ryan really is a smooth talker and got his way on this one! lol

But now we're both in agreement that 

4 kids is the complete magic number for our family!

I was only 8 wks back at Easter and normally wouldn't have 

"spilled the beans" that early!

But how perfect that we had family in town and could share the news in person!

So now that I'm 13 weeks I'm starting to tell everyone.

Well actually the kids did their darnedest to keep it a secret 

but I think they've pretty much told everyone already! haha

So our worlds are once again going to be turned upside down

in late Oct/early Nov when the caboose joins our family.

But we're excited for the journey ahead.

(and if you see me huddled in a corner crying while rocking back and forth please know why! lol)

So stay tuned to find out the gender of this wee one.

Yes we're the impatient type that couldn't wait until the 18 wk ultrasound to find out.

So we paid for the genetic blood test and I just may already have the results!!

But hey I can't spoil you with 2 surprises at once! ;)
