Tribond

Have you ever played that game? What do the following three things have in common:

1. an assortment of unhealthy but convenient frozen foods in my freezer
2. piles of laundry at all times in my laundry room
3. the need for more beds and a bigger car

You guessed it! Livingston baby number 4 will join it's anxiously awaiting family around September 26th. We are so happy. I'll save my ranting over the many strange responses and facial expressions I have gotten for another time... for now, we are so thrilled and thank you to most people who hug us with excitement!

Funny story: Our children's responses are so much like ours it's uncanny. (I think I used that right. Kia?) After lots of excitement and smiles John Patrick said, "Mom, I think the baby should be in my room." I LOVE this about him. He is just so sweet and lovey. The funny part is how he was automatically thinking of logistics. Just like his father. Dora's reaction after lots of far off looks in her eyes where I can just picture her little thoughts of snuggling and kissing.... was to say, "Mommy, your tummy is going to get really big." UGH, Dora, thank you. Mommy has already thought of that. (And the next morning after I said good morning to her, she says, "mommy, i just don't know how that baby is going to come out." :-) She's thought of the hardest parts of pregnancy in the first 12 hours of knowing.)

John and I are both excited about bunk beds, big tummy, tiny squishy cheeks, and another opportunity to see the world through one of His little one's eyes.
