The Story
A few months ago, I detailed how I told my wife that I wanted to leave the template life. I wrote about our discussion regarding some of our life plans but mostly focused on why I started the blog.
I left something big out.
At the same time that I began production work on Heroic Destiny, my wife and I began “production work” on another big project. We got “confirmation” that the project was in affect a few weeks back but were waiting for the first 3 months to pass before announcing what we were working on.
So here is the big reveal…
WE’RE HAVING ANOTHER BABY!!!
I seriously just got really emotional at typing that last line. We’re both so very happy and excited. My wife just called and said that the she heard the heartbeat at the doctor’s office for the first time today. (Ah! Just got really emotional again!!!!)
We’ve known that we wanted more children for a long time but wanted to make sure that we felt comfortable before going for number 3 especially since our first two were only 17 months apart. The first trimester has been very rough on my wife who has had 24/7 morning sickness. Of course, I would make the gigantic lifestyle change to start blogging just before embarking on this other journey. All of you have made this journey amazing thus far and I have been dying to share this (we just wanted to make sure we got to the heartbeat milestone first).
Currently our due date is Valentine’s Day (easy to remember) and we are both VERY VERY VERY excited. Our other daughters Ella and Eden have started to understand that there is a baby in mommy’s belly, but they keep wanting “him” to come out and play. And yes, I’m really hoping for a boy (there’s so much more pink in our house than I ever thought even EXISTED in the world!) Obviously, I know that whether baby is more inclined to receive pink or blue, that I will be ecstatic.
Looks like Goal #3 has another notch after it!
Thank you for being awesome!
