We're Expecting!

We are excited to say that we are expecting baby #2!! I'm not too far along. My due date will be April 29th. We told some family last night and the rest today. So, now we wanted to share with our friends. Chloe and Alma were very excited. In fact, they were up here playing last night and we let them call Grandma D and Papa Robert to tell them. Raleigh wanted to know if this baby was going to be just like Drew and if it was in his mommy's tummy. :-) Everyone seems to think it will be a girl. Brad & I kind of got our fingers crossed for a girl, but boy or girl will be great. Hannah said maybe one of each. I don't think so. I'll leave that up to you girl. Twins do not run in our family anyway.

Drew, of course, doesn't understand, but I think he'll be at a perfect age when the baby is born. Leslie & I were about the same age difference apart and were always so close.

*****Also, you guys all know we love DAVE MATTHEWS BAND. Sadly, the saxophonist passed away Tuesday night. He was in an ATV accident in June and died due to complications from his injuries. :-( It was quite a shock to hear.

Yeah! I am glad it is in your tummy! I wonder if it will be weird if you have a girl. She would probably dominate the attention spectrum and our poor boys will be neglected for a little while. What do you do with a girl? Maybe we should stick with boys...
Love you

Number 4 on the way! Can't wait, Do you really think that me and Papa will neglect our boys? I don't think so! Love them so much! Just as long as it loves it's Yaya and Papa it doesn't matter if it is a girl or boy. But I do have some ideas just in case it is a girl! You and Brad are great parents to Drew and he will be a wonderful big brother.
Love,
Mom (Yaya)

Hi Jennifer - that's so great that you are prego again. I checked out your blog a few weeks back and saw how much you love DMB (I'm copying your acronym). So when I heard the news about the saxophonist - I immediately thought of you. And then that made me giggle. Hope your next 9 months are easy on ya!
