I find that I struggle whenever it comes to making big announcements. Parties, galas, radio announcements, proposals on the Jumbo Tron, the list is endless when it comes to proclaiming good tidings to the world. Break out the banner flying airplane because, “We’re going to Brazil!”(Just kidding, we aren’t really leaving the country. I just couldn’t resist.) There is a place and a time for everything and to each his own. In those cases, just sometimes, the actual tenderness of the moment is trivialized or over looked. Believe me the irony of my making any sort of announcement via blog just kills, but what can I do? So when you read this, just pretend we’re sitting in a little bistro chatting and eating PinkBerry or maybe sharing some peanuts at a baseball game. What better way could you tell a friend that your family would soon grow a size bigger? What’s that you say?! Yes, we have been packing away the Halloween candy like it’s going out of style, but the growing of my waistband due to candy was not the reference I was making. So watch out!! Will’s expecting firework from me come the 4th of July…ok or technically the 5th. Stay tuned. We’ll try to keep you updated as we start the expansion process. For those of you who feel I’m being a bit elusive, our countdown to baby #3 is at 32 weeks or 224 days.

I can see how it might seem impersonal, but it totally beats the old, “well, I didn’t want to ask but I noticed you were getting bigger” comments, right? Hope you stay feeling ok!

Congratulations!!

Sniff sniff. I’m actually crying! I’m so happy for you, wish I was closer to see it and bring you saltines, soup and chocolate. (or I recall you having a thing for eggs?) I miss you.
