I guess it's about time...

to announce the latest news in the Freed family's world.  We are expecting another baby.  The word has been out for a while, but I just realized that I hadn't posted about it yet, so some people may still be in the dark.  So let me illuminate the situation...

We are expecting baby #3 on February 27, 2011.
We had the "big ultrasound" on September 30 and found out that the men will soon outnumber the women in the Freed household (that means it's a boy!)


Everyone is very excited!!!  Ellie told us that she wanted a little sister, but then soon after said, "but a boy or a girl will be fine."  Yes, she is very mature for a 4-year-old.  Max is still pretty clueless about the whole thing.  I'm just barely starting to show, so nothing has changed in his world yet.  But I'm sure as my belly grows and there is less space on my lap, he'll begin to feel the effects.

This pregnancy has been tougher than the first two.  The first trimester was rather miserable, with nausea and fatigue sticking around most every day.  But thankfully that stage is over.  I'm feeling good nowadays, and my energy level is back (so the house is not a complete mess and my family usually gets a homemade dinner when I'm home).  And now the fun part begins - shopping for tiny, adorable clothes (just a few are needed though because our new little guy will be born about the same time of year that Max was born), picking out nursery decor, and considering names.

Life is going to be crazy with 3 munchkins under the age of 5, but we're looking forward to lots of fun too!
