When you haven’t blogged for a while, you realize that there are a few important life events that you haven’t mentioned. It’s rather unlikely that I have any readers that don’t already know this, but just in case…

Julie’s pregnant! If you have any questions, please check the FAQ:

Q: When is Julie due?
A: Mid-June. She’s glad that’s before the hottest summer months.

Q: How has Julie been feeling?
A: Pretty well. She didn’t feel great for a while during the first trimester, but she doesn’t get morning sickness as badly as many other women, so she took it in stride.

Q: Do you know what you’re having?
A: A human. (Har!) We don’t know the sex of the baby, nor do we intend to find out (until it is born, that is).

Q: Did you find out with any of your other kids?
A: No. We like the surprise.

Q: How many kids do you have, anyway?
A: When we bring the new baby home this summer, we’ll have four kids in the house.

Q: You currently have three daughters, right?
A: Yep.

Q: I guess you’re pretty outnumbered, ha ha.
A: That’s not a question.

Q: Wow, that’s three weddings to save up for. Maybe four!
A: A question, please?

Q: Sorry. So, you must be hoping for a boy, eh?
A: I’m good either way. Another girl would be easiest, of course, but I think we’re up to the challenge of raising a boy.

Q: The more girls you have in a row, the more likely the next will be a boy, right?
A: I think we have at least a 50% chance of having a boy.

Q: Have you decided on names?
A: We have a number of possibilities, but no definite names yet.

Q: What are some of the possibilities?
A: None of your bee’s wax. You’ll just have to wait like everyone else.

Q: Are you praying for a happy pregnancy, a safe childbirth, and a healthy addition to the family?
A: Absolutely.
