I thought I'd let all you bloggy friends know that we are now a family of 5 and will be meeting our newest member sometime around August 12! We are really excited because we know what's coming, and a little scared because...we know what's coming. Seriously, though, I feel so blessed to be carrying another little one and can't wait to feel those little feet just kicking away. Questions? I'll try to answer.
Q: How are you feeling, Erin?
A: Um, not as crummy as I have been. I'm about 10.5 weeks now and some nights I'm actually able to make dinner.
Q: Where will everyone sleep?
A: I dunno.
Q: Where will everyone ride?
A: I dunno. Technically, the Camry seats 5. And it's paid for, so probably scrunched in the Camry.
Q: (This is actually the first question my mom and sister asked.) Will you be finding out the gender?
A: Well, we've done it both ways so far, and it was just as fun both times, so I think we will be finding out the gender, probably some time in early April.
OK, any more questions can be directed at me, but I may or may not answer.
Oh, and keep Josh in your prayers. He's at the doctor this morning with suspected kidney stones. Yuck.
(Get it? Spill the beans?)

I had to read that whole thing before I for sure believed that you were having another!!! I am so excited!!! Way to go Erin! That is wonderful news and boy this first trimester has gone so fast...for me :) I'll be praying for an easy preg.
btw, I thought the picture was of dog food at first and that ya'll were getting a new dog, but I just couldn't figure out why ya'll were waiting till august to get it....I'm up to speed now though :)
Wow!! Congratulations! Babies, babies EVERYWHERE! What a blessing.
congrats!!! we are excited for ya'll we will keep up with your progress on the blog
YEA! I know it is exciting and scary all at the same time. When I think boy I have 3 months at the most left I tend to feel a little overwhelmed, but I know that all will be fine. Riley keeps asking if it is only three more days and saying that she is ready. I am glad that she is completely ready because I could use at least 2 more months.
I am excited and glad that you are almost past the 12 week mark which makes a huge difference.
Congratulations! I'm so excited for you.
congrats!! I am super excited for you guys. God will provide. He always does.
COngratulations, Erin!! You and your sweet family will be in our prayers.
Well, this is a COMPLETE surprise! :) I'm excited for y'all. Can I name it?
lesley would be a good person to name it ya know?
otto?
As the father of this child, the only help we need in naming it is convincing Erin that Danger is a viable middle name for a boy. That's right; I want my kid to be able to use the statement, "Danger is my middle name."
Yes, Josh, we're all aware that you think it would be clever to give your child the middle name Danger. And no, Emma, YOUR next child has to be Otto, in keeping with the palindrome theme. Erin's kids' names are not palindromes. DUH. Maybe we could come up with a name for the Jones baby that has a double consonant in the middle to go with Kellen and Bonnie. Yes, I think that's a brilliant idea.
No, Emma. Kids are welcome at this house. Dogs are not. Josh doesn't have many opinions outside of basketball ones, but pets are where he draws the line.
I was just trying to get rid of that name since Lesley insists that my next child be "Otto." I do like her suggestion of the double consonat...Otto fits that rule???
How exciting! Looks like our kids will be a few days apart!
Good call Emma. Erin, I think we've picked out a name for the little one...Otto. I'm sure you love it.
And I thought they were raisins!
I'm kinda into the Gaelic theme. Can't we do that again? And I love the idea of gender identification (but not gender predetermination). I just felt that was your personal business.
If you're thinking of vehicles, I drove a Toyota Highlander in Chicago this weekend. Nice car, but it seemed the gas mileage was around NINE. And the third seat is pretty inconvenient. Minivan!
Congratulations! That is such exciting news. I hope you guys get healthy and stay that way!!
Whoo hoo!! How exciting! I am sorry to hear that you havent been feeling great... hopefully they can get your thyroid figured out and get you back up and at em... but in the mean time, Josh is right... give yourself the break. The "dusting" can wait. Your rest is much more important!! The jump from 2 kids to 3 kids was the easiest for me. It was like we were already used to splitting our attention and the oldest one was big enough to be a "helper" (although he was only 2.5 years old) You will do great! I hope Josh gets some answers and you start feeling better! I wish I lived closer so I could help you out!! I was so sick with my 4th baby, and it was so hard to take care of 3 others and keep everything all together... hang in there, hon!
love,
summer
ps-- otto?? I dunno, lesley!!
