In a much bigger version, it's easy to the see the little plus sign in the result window. But who wants to have a huge, oh so clear picture of a pregnancy test on their blog? Hopefully, it makes the point just the same.
So assuming nothing unfortunate happens with this pregnancy, here's evidence of Short Person #3 to come. (Sophie already calls him/her "little baby", but I prefer the name "lizard" - because that's how he/she looks right now).
I wish I could say that showing the positive pregnancy test as a means of announcing the condition is completely original, but this method was recently used by one of my best friends to announce her pregnancy to us. I'll flatter myself that I'm almost a clever as she is, though, since we used the same method in 2001 to announce our first pregnancy to local family members. We carried a printed up picture of the test to a family dinner, and passed it to members as we saw them. David's brother, Michael, particularly enjoyed the surprise. He said, "I looked down and thought, 'That's a cool toothbrush...uh, I mean, whoa!'"
In the meantime, here are some more promised photos of the family. Enjoy!
Sophie enjoyed using every single barrette to decorate her head. I actually thought it was pretty cool, but David was more practical minded and knew it would result in much hair loss when the barrettes were taken out. Sophie hasn't complained since, though, and her lovely head is still covered with many lovely, naturally highlighted locks.
This passed-out person was found on our upstairs couch after we went away to South Jordan in late July for a weekend. Apparently, Aidan got tired.
This last photo was taken on a beautiful Friday morning in August when David had just walked to receive his MBA from BYU. We were crazy proud of him, and he looked terribly handsome to me (as usual). I will not include any photos of me in a dress that I thought was flattering but was sorely mistaken. No big deal!

Congratulations! I am really happy for you. Is the wee babe going to be a Zooey? I am sorry you are sick though. I hope that it doesn't last for too long. We need to set up some time for a visit after I get back. My love to you and David and Sophie and Aidan!
Oh my goodness gracious! Congratulations on your expectant state!!
I wondered how impending a third would be, as I approach due date I salute you and say congrats to all the Grahams. - We call our little ones jelly bean until around the 4th month. I'm thinking of naming this one jackie chan (not beccause we know gender yet but because I am getting kicked and punched all night.)
I should warn you that my OB says the way you feel at 40 weeks with your 1st is how pregnant you'll feel at 36 weeks with your second and at 32 weeks with your third. At 34 weeks I have to agree, but maybe this one will come a little early????
