Three

Just about the number of days it took before Joe and I knew that we just knew.

The number of rows in our new-to-us family vehicle.
The number Hope will be on her next birthday.

Coming up on the number of months I've been carrying the next miracle we will get to bring home!
When I went to my initial appointment and the nurse said, "Congratulations! Is this your first child?" I could hardly believe my own voice answering her.

"No, actually this is our third."

Plenty of hallelujah-my-mom's-in-town nausea and fatigue, but thankfully plenty of a three-letter word that makes everything alright... J-O-Y!


So with hearts full of joy and anticipation we share this news!
Joe and Katrina

Would you believe me if I told you that I already "knew"? I had the wondering on the post for the 19th. On the 23rd, those sleeping photos, which everyone does...made me think..."You know, if she's not already expecting, I'll be their trying/planning." And when I saw the title of the post this morning, I thought..."Well here it is! What fun! What blessing! What joy!" Words cannot explain how happy I am for the four of you to welcome another precious miracle to your family!

Wooohhoooo!!! So, I harldy ever go to your blog anymore :( Not because I don't want to, but b/c it's blocked from my work, and by the time I get home from my extra-curricular activities at night, I'm so pooped! We are currently on our way home from a visit to a sick family member in FL, and my BIL has a laptop with an aircard...so I said, I'm going to catch up on my blogs!

Whatdoyaknow...what a perfect time to catch up!!! I am soo excited for you guys, sooo overjoyed and happy. I am glad that you have the stamina to go thru this journey again! You are beyond blessed and I cant' wait to hear and see more from here (and in person would be good too ;)).

Hope this first trimester finds you in good spirits and health! I'm going now to catch up on the rest of your blog! Everyone looks so beautiful and grown up!

Blessings & XOXOXOXO!
