That's right, Wolfe cub #3 is on the way!

We are SO excited!

It took 2 years to get pregnant with Alice, 6 months to get pregnant with Jane and with this one..

...my very first cycle since Jane was born and our first try!

I can't believe how blessed I am.

Six years ago we were facing the knowledge that we may never have (biological) children and now we are having our 3rd!

God has been so good.

I got to surprise Stephen with the news.  He had been at a conference for a few days and when he left I was sure I was not pregnant.  I didn't have any symptoms and, really, with my record, it wasn't going to happen on the 1st try.

But while he was gone I started getting some hints that I might be pregnant and I took a test and much to my surprise and joy it was positive!

I ran out and bought Jane a shirt that says "Big Sister" (the one in the pictures that is unfortunately super hard to read).

When Stephen came home that evening I put the shirt on Jane and said "Stephen, what do you think of Jane's new shirt?"  Now I know Stephen well and knowing that he is not a very outwardly emotional person I had very low expectations in terms of what his response would be.  I was surprised therefore when Stephen responded with extreme surprise, disbelief and excitement.  It was a sweet moment.

This happened the day before we left for California.

So when we visited my parents we did the same thing.  Put Jane in the "Big Sister" shirt and asked "What do you think of Jane's new shirt?"  My mom's response was priceless.

She looked confused and said "Is it a hand-me-down?"

Me: "Nope."

Then the light bulb went off and they were so excited.

Then we did it to Stephen's family which was a lot of fun too.

Everyone was super excited but Stephen's dad took the longest to get it and then said "Oh, Stephen knocked you up again!" and then said the same thing as my mom, "I thought it was a hand-me-down."

In their defense it is too big on her, the smallest size was a 2T.

Jane will be 1 month shy of 2 years old when the baby is born.

It would be fun to have a boy for a change but I kinda want it to be another girl  :)

I love my sweet girls, and I think 3 girls and then 2 boys would be perfect.

But whatever God gives us will be best!
