Growing our little tribe

I mentioned in a previous post that we had other things to celebrate (and other reasons why I was feeling wretched). This is because (drumroll please) we're pregnant!!! Baby Mery number 3 is on the way!

Baby is the size of a kumquat this week.



Baby's due date is January 4, 2013. The kids and I will be heading back to Texas in November and will stay until the bambino arrives plus some time afterwards. Schlumberger does not allow employees or spouses to deliver in Angola so we are required to leave. Besides, having our family close during this special time is incredibly important to me! And they get some extra special time with Owen and Riley too.

We are all very excited to grow to a family of five! Riley pats my tummy and says 'baby'. She wanted to hold the baby this morning so that was tricky to explain to a 23-month old. I've been asking Owen if he wants another sister or a brother. It changes daily. The names he's coming up with are great!

Magic
Peaches
Titan
Chipper
Zylen (this is one of his buddies from Katy)
Lions
Dragon
Ferger
Princess Leia

Ciao!

  1. Congratulations! Will Nathan get to spend a good chunk of time with you when the littlest arrives?

  2. Thanks Alison! Hopefully he can. He does get 1 week paternity leave which is a first ever. It'd be better if the baby came in December so he can use his 2012 vacation. We'll see! Staying open-minded and flexible about it all.
