A Big Day

Today is our 8th anniversary! 8 years ago (at the ripe age of barely 21) I married my best friend. I know it sounds cliche, but I really did. Anyone who knows Colin knows that I sure am blessed. My husband is the most amazing, caring, patient, fun-loving husband in the world. I never imagined what an incredible dad he would be either! He is seriously the best...and I am so lucky to call him mine! We're celebrating tonight with dinner and a play...can't wait.

The other big part of our day was that we got to see Mulder baby #3 at an ultrasound! Yes, we are expecting our third...due to arrive in March. The official due date is March 22 (putting me at 7 weeks, 1 day) but I will go earlier because I have c-sections. We are so excited! After 9 months of Clomid (fertility drugs used to conceive Abigail and Henry) we didn't get pregnant. We decided to take the summer "off" and reevaluate in the Fall. Wouldn't you know...I got pregnant...without drugs...something we've never thought possible!

We haven't told the kids yet and don't plan to for a bit...just in case you see them! :)

Here's a picture of our peanut...teeny tiny, but we saw the heart beating! :)

WOW!!!! Yay- you two produce such adorable kids that I can't wait to see this one!!!!!!! Such an amazing thing to get pregnant when you weren't trying and when you thought it wasn't possible without drugs- even makes it sweeter, huh? Congratulations on 8 years together as well, especially since you know he is your best friend!

Not surprised that I ran into you at Target- just surprised that I got out of there with only buying 2 packs of gum. I thought when I left that you seemed to be glowing...now I know why!!!!
