Three’s Company…or is it a Crowd? We’ll Soon Find Out!

Yep. Big news. We’re pregnant!

Inside Kristin’s belly, cooking away, is baby #3!

We’ve known for about a month now, but have been keeping it under wraps until Kristin’s first official doctors appointment. Everything is going smoothly. Kristin has even sneaked a peak at the baby (using an echo scanner-thingy at her work) and saw a heartbeat! The baby will be due sometime in mid to late May.

We’re very excited. And scared. Right now maybe a bit more scared than excited. Another baby means another mouth to feed. Another daycare bill. Most likely a bigger car (I’m anti-minivan, but might have to resort to buying one), more clothes, diapers, formula, bottles, etc…the list goes on and on. The only thing that there will be less of in our household will be sleep.

According to a USA Today article from a few years ago, having three kids is becoming more and more common. And for many parents, its easier going from two to three kids than it was going from one to two. I also found a helpful website, called www.havingthreekids.com, full of stories and advice from parents who have had, or are thinking of having, three kids. Let’s hope they’re all right!

We told Patty and Amanda the news and they were thrilled. Patty hopes for a boy and Amanda wants mommy to have two boys. One for her to play with and one for Patty. I don’t know about two boys, but one would be nice :-)

Oh I Wish I Were an Oscar Meyer Wiener...

OK Folks. Haven't written anything in a while. Not that there is nothing going on with the family right now. Big things are happening with us. I mean BIG THINGS...but that's for another blog entry....not today.

Today, however, as we were on one of our morning walks through the neighborhood, we saw that one of our neighbors was having a yard sale. We found something wonderful amongst all the junk, broken gadgets and other whatnot's. Something one of a kind. "Unbelievable!" I said when I first laid eyes on it. "A diamond in the rough!"

It's a kiddie sized Oscar Meyer Wienermobile!



I had to get it for the kids. The owner's wanted $25 for it, but I bartered them down to $10.

Awesome!

When I was a kid it was a dream of mine to drive the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile. Haven't got the chance yet. It's still on my list of things to do before I die, though...right after sky diving and winning big in Vegas.

The ultimate would be for me to sky dive smack dab into the middle of Vegas, win a wad of cash, buy the Wienermobile and drive home singing "My Bologna Has a First Name, it's O-S-C-A-R..." all the way home!

Hey. A guy can dream...
