Dear friends and family,
A quick announcement: We are expecting baby #4 in July!!! We found out yesterday and we are so excited! (shocked, rather). I am fourteen weeks along, which means that Maddie and this new one will be fourteen months apart. I guess if the Lord wants you to have it, you'll get it. No, this was not planned, and yes, I am nervous because it will be hard. I started to show this week, so there is no hiding it from anyone...you basically found out when we did!

Wow! Congrats, Kristi! That's awesome that you found out so late in your pregnancy! You're almost half way done! Good luck!!!

Kristi,
I meant to congratulate you, but got so busy with my own life (Ashton's tonsillectomy) that I kind of forgot. Please forgive me. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

One trimester down, only 2 to go. That will be the fastest pregnancy ever! Congrats!

That's such a neat discovery... I hope all those different antibiotics you were on the last months to try and get rid of what turns out to be morning sickness were baby-safe!! You will have such a cute fun bunch of kiddos. I hope you get feeling better soon if you haven't already.

Congratulations, Kristi and Jim! That's exciting news and we are really happy for you. We look forward to meeting the newest little Carpenter in July!!

Wow. Congratulations! I can't believe you just now found out that is crazy. Yes it is hard having kids close together in some ways but in other ways it is great because they grow up being good buddies. Hope all goes well.

That's amazing, I can't imagine ever not knowing I was pregnant, I'd know something was "up" when I couldn't get my head out of the toilet.

Congratulations, that is SO exciting!

Congratulations you guys! I would be a little worried, too, but you'll be great! I bet those 2 littlest ones will be close like your 2 oldest. Good luck with the pregnancy. At least you're through the first trimester - maybe the pregnancy will fly compared to the others!

Congrats Kristi! If anyone can handle two babies 14 months apart you can! Your mom has always wished triplets on you, I guess this as close as she could get.
