I really wish I'd had a video camera for this moment. It would have been great. But instead I just have to describe it to you. At breakfast a few days ago (April 7), we decided to let the kids in on a little secret. I asked Josh if he still wanted a little baby... since it's been on his mind a lot lately. Funny the timing of it and all. Anyhow, he said yes. So Peter said, "Well, there's a baby in mommy's tummy." You should have seen his face. He got a HUGE grin and such wide eyes. He's at such a fun age.
Just to make sure he understood, we asked if he remembered when Emily was in mommy's tummy, and he said he did. He asked where this baby would be born, and we told him it would be at the hospital. He asked "Where Emily was born?" So, I think he understands.
For part of the conversation, I mentioned that Elizabeth's mommy had a baby in her tummy, too. Josh asked what kind of baby it was. I told him it was a baby girl. He said "I want a boy!"
By this time, Emily was emphatically signing "baby." I guess she's ready as well. The funniest part was that he looked at Emily then said "There are two babies. One for me, and one for Emily." I guess we'll see in a couple months.
By the way, the due date is Halloween!

Congratulations!! I'm so happy for you!!
I thought that "hinting" was a little more than just hinting. Congratulations!! We know several people getting pregnant around the same time...it makes me start to think about the timing of it all. I guess you have a few more months to prepare yourself for three kids in the grocery store and two kids climbing on your back while you try to nurse;)
Congratulations!
Congratulations!!! That's so exciting! yay for Josh! I bet he couldn't be happier with his parents obliging to his wishes!
;-) What a fun due date! Just in time for all the holidays!
YAY! How are you feeling? This is exciting...lots of babies being borm around that time! Love October!
