Back before we let the whole world in on the news, we told the boys about their upcoming sibling:
Fun backstory: Aunt Lauren's brother and sister-in-law are also due with their third on December 15th. Their early video of them telling their girls inspired us to do the same -- and in a lot of ways we ended up with the boys copying their girls' reactions word for word (hence our laughter on the "December 15th" part).
{Silas doing a trick on his scooter}
Mommy: "Wow, Silas! How did you learn how to do that?"
Silas: "Vacation Bible School."
Silas: "I didn't like being a baby."
Mommy: "Why?"
Silas: "It wasn't much fun."
- Silas watching the video of him smiling for the first time...a little less active than he is now. :)
"When I get to be a cowboy, I'll be really good at riding a motorcycle."
Daddy: "I'm going to help them deliver the baby when it's ready to come out."
Luke: "Can we please come in and see the bone where the hole is in Mommy's tummy?"
{Silas and Daddy after Silas fell off his scooter}
Daddy: "Silas, are you okay? Did you scrape your knee?"
Silas: "I'm fine, but the sidewalk got a bigger scrape."
Luke: "We watched a TV show about Jonah in church today."
Daddy: "Really? Was it a cartoon or real people?"
Luke: "Daddy, the Bible really happened."
"Daddy, it's getting so big I don't know if it's really a number."
- Luke looking at the gas pump while filling up
Luke: "Mommy, can I play a video game?"
Mommy: "Why do you like playing video games so much?"
Luke: "It's just what God makes me think about all the time."
"I'm going to leave it just like this until a giant comes along and gets it out for me."
- Silas after he pushed his straw far into his juice box. For some reason he's obsessed with giants nowadays.
Luke: "I bet Mommy's tummy got bigger last night."
Daddy: "I bet it did! You know what? Mine did, too."
Luke: "You're joking, Daddy, but it looks like it did."
Mommy: "We have a surprise for you! We're going to have a baby!"
Luke: "Today??"
Daddy: "Do you want Mommy to have another baby?"
Luke: "Yes, but who is she going to marry to make this one?"
While that's the not the very first thought that ran through my head seven weeks ago, it followed pretty shortly after thoughts like: wow, whoah, really?, wow, weren't we not going to take the test until next week?, wow, are we sure?, wow, okay, man, wow.
We're having our third baby! Jeanine is 12 weeks along; December 15th is the due date (but Easter weekend is probably gonna stand out in my head for a while as well). Today's Picture of the Day is a fun first: it's the first TPOD featuring the still-unnamed Teague child number three!
We're super thrilled. The boys are excited. Here we go!
(As she did last time, Jeanine wrote up a couple of posts during the media embargo. Here are her thoughts shortly after finding out, and here is her great write-up about the boys and their loose lips.)
"Daddy, you're the best back scratcher. They should have you in a scratch-your-back store."
