Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Baby Rueter

I feel terrible that I have yet to write about the little peanut that will be joining our family in December. I have been keeping a journal. I just find it really difficult lately to balance everything I "want" to do versus everything I "need" to do. We found out in April that I was expecting our third blessing. Kyle and I were hoping for this to happen sometime in the summer, but God has different plans! We were very excited and found it so hard not to tell the boys. When it finally came time to tell everyone about our exciting news we decided to do it with a photograph. I can't take credit for it because I saw it on Pinterest. It turned out very cute and we got tons of compliments! Thanks Christy! :) Since telling the boys that they are going to be big brothers they have been pretty excited too. Macalan doesn't hesitate to tell me in that honest kid way that my belly is really growing. Lots of mornings when I go to get Sutton from his bed he says "baby here yet?" They are both a little impatient, but we keep telling them the baby will come when Santa comes. My official due date is December 20. Both boys were born earlier than their due dates so we'll see! Macalan told me we need to hurry up and decide what kind of a baby we are having. So today when we went to the doctor the boys heard the heartbeat for the first time. Both of their eyes just lit up. It was precious. My doctor asked them what kind of baby it sounded like and both of them said a girl. We'll find out on July 24th! Stay tuned!
