The following was written on June 27, 2007. I'm deleting the "Bebe to Be" blog - as it's just too much to keep a separate blog for Katie and the boys. So - here's what I had written:

Well!! We found out on June 7th that we are expecting our 3rd bundle of joy!! Sometime around Feb 11th. We went and had bloodwork done - my progesterone was 12 - so the doctor put me on Prometrium. My betas looked great though! The 1st one was 347, the 2nd was 824! I wasn't sure of when I ovulated - so they did an ultrasound on the 19th - and got to see our tiny little pumpkin - and the heart just beating away! It's so exciting! I always love being pregnant - and I am so completely happy about this one. We told my mother at her 60th birthday party. My sisters and I gave her a charm bracelet with all the grandsons' monograms on small silver discs - and their birthdays are on the other side of each charm. We left the 6th one blank. It was very sweet. We told my father on Father's Day. We have yet to tell Jason's parents - we're waiting for Jeanette's birthday party around July 4th. So - then everyone will know!!!! So far, I feel ok - just really tired. And I can't eat Mexican - or a lot of cheese - or hot dogs. This baby LOVES fresh fruits and veggies - which is wonderful - better for me. And definately better for baby.I told my boss last Thursday - he seemed genuinely happy for me. So that was a relief. I really can't believe that I'm going to have another sweet baby!!!!!! I can't wait to find out what it is - I realllllly hope it's pink. But - I swear to the Good Lord Above - whatever God gives me - as long as it's healthy and happy - that's truly all that matters. If it's another boy- then I will proudly bear the theme song of My Three Sons - but I really want a girl. Just a sweet little girl. It would be really special to me.Anyway - I'll update more and post pics as I progress!YAY BABY!

Yeah... apparently, I'm not so great with the blogging stuff - but I swear I'll get better!! Life with 3 kids is great - and very interesting. My 2 boys and my baby princess certainly keep me busy. Camp, who is now 4, is amazingly grown up. He doesn't miss a trick at all. He gets jokes, he's very perceptive regarding moods of others - and he wants to help. Always wants to help. He and Andy's song that I made up for the 2 of them goes "Camp a lamp is my Hero, camp a Lamp, is my champ. Andy Pandy he's so dandy, Andy Pandy, he's my man" - and oh how true it is of both of them. Camp is the helper, the enforcer of rules, the leader. Andy, who is now 3, is my snuggle bunny, my tender heart, my stubborn as all get-out kid. He takes his time doing anything you want him to - unless you make it a game. But - he loves to give kisses, he thinks he's hilarious, and loves his cars. He likes his Mama and Me time - which, unfortunately, I don't get that often with Pan... but I try. Katie is absolutely the princess. She's just really taken several steps in a row without falling today. I predict she'll be running in another 2 weeks. She's demanding and dramatic - but very confident in her cuteness and it's ability to get her just about anything she wants. She's not really talking - occasional Mama or Dada - or even "ba" for ball. But, that's really all. And that's ok. I'm not ready for her to grow up at all.
Today's been raining, so the kids have been making up games in their room or in the den. Camp recently declared the tent in their room to be off limits to katie - it's a no girls club. I had no idea that this started so early! Andy has declared, while grabbing his boy-parts, "My tushie is soooooo big". That starts too early, huh? And the other day - we were in the car and Mississippi Queen came on and Camp shouted "Rock it to the Roll". Andy also called the cartoon tom and Jerry- well, he calls it "Tom and Sherry". These kids crack me up! I love being home with them.. but I really do miss the working world too. One day at a time. They aren't little forever.
