Adding another B O Y...

to the Harless roster!
Our sweet family friend who normally takes a little "peak" around 15 weeks gave us the news on Friday.  We are thrilled to be welcoming another precious BOY to the mix come summer.  I think it is the perfect fit for our CRAZY life and I couldn't be happier.  York still refers to the baby as her... we will work on that!  I have decided on buying a new baby bed and moving Perry upstairs in his... he isn't quite ready to take the "big boy" bed plunge.  I found a sweet new bedding for Perry's new room and baby 3 will inherit the same bedding both boys used before him.  Poor little guy... hand me down baby!!  At least little boys wont care... right?  Since Perry also used it I felt is was time for him to get something of his very own.  Once H3 gets a little older ... he to will get new bedding as well!  (just keeping it fair) 
Oh that is a whole other blog... how do you keep things FAIR?  I remember growing up with 2 other siblings and the "fair" discussion was raised frequently.  You want each of your children to feel special and treated as individuals ... but how hard is it to find a happy medium?  Does that even exist?  I remember my mother telling us that we were each different children with different personalities that needed discipline and rewards accordingly.  I never thought that was FAIR!!!  I guess you get older and get over it...?  I will do my best to make each of my boys feel special and make it my mission to establish some sort of FAIR-ness amongst them.  Whew... I better start anticipating certain situations!
Looks like I will have my hands full...
On another note... my best friend delivered a beautiful healthy baby GIRL! (the first of her "kind" within our group)  I was able to hold that perfect baby for a while today and visit her family in the hospital!  Prayers for mom and baby to come home safely!  Congratulations and Much love to the Henderson Family!
