The big announcement


So it is with great pleasure that I would like to announce the anticipation of the newest member of the Warkentin, well... tribe I guess now. We were more than a little surprised to find out 6 weeks ago about this new little one. We had been waiting to announce it until it was safe, but after a very big scare yesterday and the reassurance that God is ultimately in control we are happy to announce that we have a healthy baby due in late October.

This is a surprise and a blessing and we are excited (and really really overwhelmed). We have always wanted 3 kids, that was the ultimate plan. Both Tim and I had such gaps in age with our siblings that we wanted our kids to be more close... I guess we just weren't planning on them being THIS close. But fortunately for us, God is in control of our family planning (no matter how hard we try to control it ourselves.)

So, from here on out, get ready to read lots of blogs about pregnancy complaints and the fear and anxiety of taking on 3 kids!

Congratulations!

I hope you're feeling great!

Here's to a completely uneventful pregnancy, birth, and aftermath. :)

Stay well Mama!

God has a odd sense of humor... 3 kids under the age of 3! What a blessing, they are going to be great friends... think of all the family events to follow with your THREE children... I am envious, honestly! I need to hang out with you and get some baby making hormones from you or something!

I know we really don't talk and what-not, and I haven't seen you sense high school... but if you EVER need anything at all just let me know. If you are in DIRE need of chocolate, Starbucks, or toilet cleaner, just let me know...

Your family is in my prayers, God has big plans for you guys :)

Congratulations! What great news -- pray that you have a healthy, safe, and COMFORTABLE pregnancy.

You are a GREAT Mama!

Yay, Erin! I don't think that you will ever regret having them close. My third baby was born when my first was 3 1/2. It's crazy at times, but I love the close relationship they all have.
I pray that your pregnancy goes well and that the yucky stuff goes quickly.
