A new season is a big deal on its own. The fall usually brings many changes – the kids are back in school and that means new teachers, new challenges, and new excitements. But here is something else that would make our active life even more active – WE ARE HAVING A BABY (not a baby-piton, not a furry baby – a real screaming pooping human baby!)

For those of you with the questions, let me just say this:

  • No, it wasn’t planned, but we can’t wait to meet our surprise
  • No, we are not buying a bigger house or a bigger car
  • Yes, I wanted to know the gender ahead of time, because I am a planner
  • It doesn’t really matter who I wished for – I just want a healthy happy baby

Last night I couldn’t wait to get home from the doctor’s office to share the big news – baby looks healthy, very wiggly and…

IT’S A BOY!

This announcement triggered a whole bunch of ideas from the older siblings and I couldn’t think of a better way to share it than right here with you on my blog.

From bigger brother and sister to the Lil Brother

We also thought, it would be a great idea to lay down some ground rules right now, and here are some really great ones!

I have to tell you, the little wiggle has a great team waiting for him and we can’t wait to meet him on January 31, 2015 (or sometime around that date).

    Congratulations! I love that you addressed all the questions you know you’re going to hear in advance. I should have done that with “Are you going to try again?” I hated it because it made it sound like we made a mistake & should attempt a redo.

    Congratulations! I love how excited you all are and how you’ve involved the children in welcome and preparations for the baby boy’s arrival in January!
