Hello, what’s this?
Posted by: Lizzie
Dear readers,
Have I seemed distant? If so, it’s because I could hardly contain my excitement and being online made me fear spilling the beans!
So here are the beans:
We’re expecting baby number 4! Now, we can’t realistically expect to have a girl since boys run rampant on both sides of the family. Any girl baby vibes would be appreciated, though, and that’s for sure.
As you can see, I’ve already started knitting for this baby. Pictured above are some Sockabooties from Mashpit’s Knits. I’m kind of stumped for knitting right now, though, because I’m out of washable baby yarn! I have some alpaca that’s really soft, but just not practical. Someone needs to go yarn shopping!
Our first midwife appointment will be next week (when Jamie and I can decide on a day). Of course, everyone who knows me will probably not need to be told that I’m desparately wishing for a homebirth this time around. None of my births have been traumatic, but they’ve all been hospital fiascos and I’d just rather steer clear of the drama!
The oldest’s 8th birthday party is this evening. His birthday was yesterday and was declared “the best birthday ever”. Not only was he 8 on 8-8-08, he got to go swimming twice, and stay up to watch the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. It seemed the whole world was celebrating.

Thanks guys! Yeah, I say names here most of the time. It’s ok.
This baby is due around the beginning of April. I’m so glad to be skipping all the hot months!
