Joel III has an Announcement .....

"Mommy has a baby in her bellwee!"



yep. That's right. The Pentons will be welcoming #3 into the world in April.  Is this baby ready for two crazy brothers?

I am 10 weeks and we had our first ultrasound about a week ago.  The baby's due date is April 9th.  This pregnancy has felt the same as the others with the exception of a large belly at week 5 (what the heck?), and extreme hunger.  No sickness. Just tired, hungry and thirsty all the time.

Nursing Judah has been a challenge, my milk supply went down immediately and I had to work hard (eat more, drink more, pump every 4 days or so) to keep it up so that he would still be interested.  It has been 6 weeks of that, and I think he is done with being forced to keep nursing.  I am allowing him to wean himself now (he has been trying to wean himself ever since he was born! jk;) kind of) and I'm sure we will be done pretty soon.  I am kind of sad, but I know he is ready.  He has never loved nursing like Joel did and it will be nice to have a tiny bit of freedom for a few months before this newest little one arrives!

Praise God for this newest blessing and bundle of joy!  We are seriously just in awe of how good He is to us. Thank You LORD.
