December 22nd

Well, they have set a date for the arrival of Baby #4, December 22nd. This baby will come with much fanfare from me, as in the last few weeks I have been labeled as "gestational diabetic" and taking insulin 5 x a day. Not fun at all. But, if in the end we get a healthy, happy (and if you happened to throw cute in there, I wouldn't be offended) baby, I'm good with it.

As for other happenings in our family, Ben and Maddie have been practicing feverishly for their upcoming Christmas shows at school. We recently took them to the store to get items for their preschool rooms from a "Giving Tree", but understood a few minutes into the trip that they do not understand the concept of a giving tree AT ALL. It mostly turned into a crying disaster resulting in babies in bed by 7.

Zach is doing great and trying to keep up with everything the other two do. He is now sharing a room with his "Moo Moo" (Maddie) in order to get him prepared (and an empty room prepared) for the new baby. He gets a kick out of throwing his binky at her and making her fetch it for him.
But, all three are now jockeying for positions on my lap (which is why I don't often try to get on the laptop) so I better tend to my mothering duties.
