Here we go again!!!


Just when you get life all figured out... two kids potty trained and going to school, great neighborhood, good jobs, healthy, happy, (getting) in shape, fun vacations, etc... it's time to start all over again and have another baby! Yes, Tyler and I are excited to announce that we are expecting Baby #3 sometime around late March. We don't know the baby's sex yet and we've decided to keep it that way until the delivery so we can keep things exciting since we're seasoned veterans at this point! :) ha ha

The kids are very excited about their new brother/sister (depending on who you ask) and Brooklyn has now named her sister (yes, she's adamant about it being a girl) half a dozen names from Tria (Land Before Time) to Emily (a girl in my workout class) to Ivy (Ivy Sorensen), etc. Boston and Tyler are naturally lobbying for a boy so we'll have to see. Me, I'd be happy with either but I must admit raising a boy thus far has been easier than girl!

So far I'm feeling okay... really tired, general stomach uneasiness, recurring migraines (a flash back from my Brooklyn pregnancy... does this mean its a girl???) and cravings for Egg McMuffins (crazy, I know)!

Here we go again...!!! :)

Aaaa! I can't believe we ran into you this afternoon, and I had NO idea! Congrats! You will definitely have to let me pay you back and let me watch your kids for appointments, etc! And thanks for the yummy cookies.

Good luck and I hope you feel well and the migraines go away.:) I'm so excited for you guys.

And I think Brooklyn's got it wrong-you've got to keep with the theme...Bahama Carlson? Baltimore Carlson? Bellevue Carlson? Ok, maybe not...

Exciting! I am voting for a girl because I too craved egg mcmuffins. So random! I also thought the u/s picture showed twins.

Kris and Lindsay Olson said...

Congrats guys! Let the fun begin.... AGAIN!

JoEllen said...

Jessica said...

Congratulations!

The Jensens said...

Congratulations Amber! We're in the same boat now. I've heard 3 is a lot harder than two. I'm a little scared, but I guess we'll see!

Christy {The Girl Who Ate Everything} said...

Were you pregnant when we went to Chick Fil A and were talking about getting pregnant? You naughty girl. Just kidding, we are so excited for number 3!

Carl Hardie said...

Congratulations guys. Becca and I are so excited for you. I am pulling for boy number two, and of course, Becca is hoping you get another girl. Either way, I'm sure it will be a good looking kid.

Sunny Jo said...

CONGRATS GIRL!! THAT IS SO EXCITING!! We are actually trying right now for baby #3, so I will let u know when the Buns in the Oven!! I am not looking forward to morning sickness and smells!!:)

Tisha said...

yeah!! congratulations!! way to jump into it again after a nice break- we're definitely nervous for the jump from 2 to 3! - I can't believe you guys are planning on waiting until delivery to find out the gender- I could never last that long! way to go!! love you guys!!

holly said...

Congratulations! Three was so fun for us...we loved having a baby again. I'm sure it will be the same for you. :)
good luck with the pregnancy. I hope all goes well.

Yeah for Ty and Amb...jumping on the bandwagon of 3 is AWESOME! Two was much harder for me..but then again, my 3rd is my easy baby, weren't your other two easy? If so, you are in for it! Hopefully I remember that wrong and you are due for an easy one! And PROPS for waiting, I REALLY want to do that if we have another but I am SO WEAK and need others to prove how wonderful and fun the 9months of suspense is...keep reminding me IN CASE I have another baby someday =) Congrats!

Brittany said...

What exciting news! It will be fun to keep it a surprise! That would be so hard for me to do! I guess since you've already got baby gear for both sexes why not! Congrats!

Stephanie said...

I am so excited for you guys. I don't think there is anything better than having a little baby around. It will be fun to be surprised with the baby's gender at the delivery--I wish I were that patient.

Kels said...

Wow, we are getting way left behind! haha! Anyway, congratulations! That is so exciting! You will be another cute prego mom!

Heidi said...

How exciting!!! Congrats!! It will be fun to not find out what it is until "it" comes. We thought about doing that but decided we would do it down the road, once we had one of each. Hope you're feeling well! :)

The Waldrams said...

Lorie said...

Congrats Amber! That's so exciting. I'm so impressed you can wait until the baby is born to find out what it is. That would be so hard for me.

James and Tricia Thomas said...

Congrats!!! I have not seen you guys forever! I think we are both semi-inactive!!

Tara said...
