Baby #3

Balukoff Baby #3 is on it's way!  

I'm due May 3rd.

Grace has been telling me for over a month that her little brother is in my tummy, and we just told her a couple days a go that I really am pregnant...so I'm nearly convinced this one will be a boy.  Although I don't really care either way, I would be happy to have all girls, or to have a little Sam running around would be fun too!

When we finally decided to tell Grace that there really was a baby in my belly, she said, "I know, it's my little brother."  She wasn't surprised or shocked at all, it was like she said, "I know mom, I've been telling you for weeks!  And you just now believe me!"

Some of you have probably heard me tell you that we weren't going to try for another one until January.  That has been our master plan ever since Lilly was born.  Well it was Sam's master plan, but it didn't take him long to convince me it was a good idea.   Then in the end of May and June I kept getting these promptings that our plan was wrong and we needed to get started right away.  I finally went to Sam with the idea, a little nervous that he would be upset when I told him, but all he said was, "Well you can't argue with that!"  We decided to wait till we had moved to PA and Sam had started his fellowship so we were on our new insurance.  I still thought it might take a little while because it had taken us 8 months to get pregnant with Lilly, but apparently this baby is really in a rush to get here because I got pregnant the first month we started trying. 

Sometimes I get a little freaked out about having 3 kids, but I know that this is what we are supposed to be doing, and since Heavenly Father told us to do this, I'm banking on Him helping me out! 

More often though I just feel so blessed that He would  trust us enough to send us another sweet spirit to raise.
