So as it turns out....

I'm not the only pregnant one in my family! I'm not sure how much I've posted about this (if at all), but now I can totally spill the beans! So, I have 3 sister-in-laws. (SIL) I have one brother,Davy, and he is married to Bridget. They live in South Cackalackey with the rest of the fam. Eric has one brother, Joe, who is married to Dianna. They live in Rochester, home of Dinosaur BBQ with the BEST ribs ever!!! And last but not least, Eric has one sister named Lindsay, who is married to Brian, and they live in Buffalo. Pretty much the rest of his family is all in Buffalo. So, for a period of time in July/August, me and all four of my SIL's were ALL PREGNANT TOGETHER!!! It was so much fun, but I couldn't talk about it with anybody. Linds and Bridget were still in the closet since they were so early in their pregnancies. Dianna had Gavin September 1st, our first new family member. And he is pretty darn handsome (yes I'm biased), and we can't wait to meet him! If I get Dianna's permission, I'll show you some photos of just how cute he is after our trip in November.

Now we are down to three preggos, and it's still pretty amazing and overwhelming. I'm so thankful that we are all blessed to not have major fertility issues. Infertility is a painful and expensive thing, and I know we are lucky to not be fighting that battle. Linds is due April 2nd, and Bridget is due April 16th! Talk about a busy April schedule! I also go back to work in April, so heaven knows how it will all work out. Luckily their baby showers will be while I'm on maternity leave. Eric and I still aren't sure if we'll make it to Lindsay's shower, mainly because I'm not taking such a young baby on an airplane (with recirculated air) during flu/RSV season. We'll wait and see how it all works out. We'll drive to Florence for Bridget's shower, but I'm taking sanitizing foam from work for people to use before they touch Shim. Yes, I'm a psychotic, over protective mother already- and he's not even here. :-)

Anyhow, I just felt like telling the world how excited I am to be sharing such a wonderful experience with three very special SIL's. We can all share and complain to one another...

It is so great to think about how much fun Shim will have growing up with his cousins. We can't wait for summers at the cottage in Canada, and trips to SC beaches and lakes. It will be such a blast! Now the question remains, will Gavin and Shim have more boys to join them, or will there be a girl in the mist??? Stay tuned in 4-6 more weeks for that update!
