Peanut Butter and Jelly

Later this week our kids will be two years old. The last couple of years have been scary, exciting, happy, stressful, fun, challenging, busy, and tiring. Speaking of being tired, a few months ago I found myself becoming a little more tired than normal. But, with 3 21 month-old kids I wasn't surprised. Around this same time I started eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on toast. I normally don't like PB & J sandwiches.................there has only been one other time in my life that I have made these sandwiches for myself, in 2005--2 and a half years ago. You've probably figured it out by now, Shane and I are expecting a baby. We are 18 weeks pregnant and our due date is the first part of April. Just to answer a few questions..........yes, this was a SURPRISE blessing, there is only one baby, and we should find out the sex next week!

Shut up!! (think Princess Diaries when you read that!) Congratulations!!! 18 weeks... there must have been something going on that time of year, considering the amount of people I know who got pregnant in that time frame!!
I am amazingly happy for you!! You will have lots of very good helpers! that baby doesn't even know how much help he/she is going to get....
Love you,
Leanne

How exciting! Congratulations! Now there will be FOUR "Bolton babies" (as they are still lovingly known in our house...I know, they are no longer babies!) for us to meet when we are home on furlough next year! :) Can't wait! Take care of yourself. I will be praying for you!

Congratulations! Surprise babies are a wonderful thing. We have a couple of those in our house and they are a blessing!

I was just visiting from Leanne's blog. We went to Faith for a few months when my husband was going to grad school at Purdue. I believe you were pregnant then because I remember hearing about you guys.

I have 4 little ones but I cannot imagine having 3 2 year olds! God bless you!!
