Gabriel, Grant, and….Baby G #3, I can hardly believe it’s almost time! I keep going back and forth between excitement and fear. Lol. Our family dynamic is going to change once again and I just hope everyone adjusts easily and things go well. The boys are each at a wonderful stage and it seems like the family has really settled into a good grove. Gabriel is the most fun, imaginative, witty, athletic, little boy and I can hardly keep up! Plus he has such a tender heart when it comes to the new baby and I can’t wait to see him take charge of big brother duties once again. Grant is just a world unto himself!:) He is so smart and every day he surprises Jim and me with new phrases (today he said: “I’m going to work, you make supper”.)!! Where does he get these things?! Lol. He is definitely a charmer too, he will be a heartbreaker someday! I just hope that even though we are adding another little addition, that I won’t lose sight of their individuality. Both boys are so amazing and unique and I can only imagine what this next little boy will bring. I do feel bad for the boys right now though because my energy level is just shot. It makes me really appreciate being healthy because usually I am right along with them running, playing, and being competitive. All day I’ve had contractions though and I can’t seem to shake them! Guess it’s par for the course with my body “practicing”. Still, it’s been annoying because they have been quite strong at times. Tomorrow I will see my doctor (finally, yipee) so it will be nice to get the latest update.
The weekend was wonderful too, yesterday my mom threw a “Prayer Shower” for us and it was so beautiful! It’s basically like a regular baby shower with food, games, etc. except people wrote little prayers for the baby and our family and brought some really meaningful gifts. I was hoping to write longer but here comes another contraction and this typing position isn’t working for me.:) I’ll be back tomorrow with the latest!!

Hello Brooke,
I wish for you to have a fast and safe delivery – sounds like you are awfully close to having baby #3 here. Everything will be fine, I am sure the transition from 2 to 3 will be smooth.
Take care,
Heather
