Guess what?

Check SpellingWe're finally sharing the news, and with only 6 months to go, we're really looking forward to welcome baby #3 into our home! Wade actually wore these pajamas when he was a baby. His mom embroidered the #3 since he was the third child in his family, so we thought it fitting for our third child to wear them as well. :)

We were really hoping to have the baby in the summer since I'm a teacher, but Heavenly Father must have a different plan because the baby is due September 16, two weeks AFTER school starts. We're so blessed to have good friends who have helped us work things out. My friend, Jordan Mabey, will teach my preschool class when I have the baby and while I recover for a few weeks. And my friend, Kristal Joy, will watch the baby while I teach the rest of the year. It was a difficult decision whether I should teach at all, but after fasting and praying, we felt I should. I just love teaching too much to quit! And fortunately, I'm just teaching two mornings a week to help keep life simple.

I still can't believe it, but it's true. And Emily and Jonathan couldn't be more excited!

Congratulations! They sure do have their own timing, don't they? I'm sure it will work out with teaching though, it always does somehow.
