3 Days and Counting

Noah, when he was a wee little babe and we crazily took him with us when we went to Italy at 10 weeks of age.  The other little baby Jared is looking at, is the Anderson's, they were just as delusional as we were and took their baby too!  :)

And this is Preston when he was about 4-5 months old with his Idaho Grammy.  Those cheeks just kept getting bigger and bigger until WE thought about hiding storage in them. 




No, I will not be posting my hugeness on the world wide web but I did want everyone to know how excited we are to be having our 3rd little terror/boy in 3 days.  Life has stopped/been put on hold and we only do things that prepare us, the boys or the baby for what is to come.  Like tell Noah 377 times not to get in the bouncy chair.  And thanks to my efficient mother and my time giving mother-in-law, my house is now clean (weird) and organized (even weirder), food is in the freezer (I am in love with my upright freezer even if the only thing in it are the freezer meals),  the baby will have clothes to wear, well, at least for the first week until I have to do laundry and when I forget to do laundry, he will have 100 blankets to cover his naked body.  I just put together the bouncy chair, successfully only breaking one piece of it and that little adventure has made me decide to wait until Jared gets home to put together the final item...the swing.  

I can't believe it is all happening so fast.  April was SO far away and now its almost over.  I'm not completely delusional to the fact that I'll be tired, tired, tired BUT we're excited.

Im so excited for you guys. You have to put pictures on the blog after he is born (or tell someone to do it=) By the way I love your new picture at the top. So cute!!

Kara said...

P.S. Do you have a name for him yet?

Jared and Maren said...

His name is (hold on to your boots) Cordell Washington Hill. My dad's first name and Jared's family middle name. I think we've marked him as a politician or something with a name like that:)

Kara said...

That is a cute name. I can't wait to see him!

I am so excited for you guys. I was just thinking about you today knowing you were to have this baby sometime in April. I will be thinking of you everyday. I can't wait to see what he looks like. You guys make some of the most handsome little boys.
Love you and miss you!

I was thinking the same as Kara...you know you're going to be too tired or busy to post pictures so please have someone else do it for you. (that would be you Jared). Some of us live too far away to come see this sweet little baby in person.

Good luck! We love you guys!

LOVE the name! And I totally can't wait! CAN'T WAIT I TELL YOU!

Ok, why do we live close and it seems like I haven't seen you (other than church) in like forever?! I know I have been in Utah a ton, but SHEESH! I miss you guys!

AND I don't know how it happened, but I totally missed the Valentines Day post, WHICH I LOVED! Good job Jared! I think everyone needs to make a video of some of the highlights in their lives. It totally makes you remember how much fun you are having, even amongst all the poo...literally for you guys soon! (hehehe) I loved watching your video. It made me love you guys even more and super happy that we have the good fortune to be friends with you!

Ok, now that I am ready to publish my first book.....CRUD! Uh, just call me whenever you need me sister! I am RIGHT there! Do you hear me?!

Jeb and Becca said...

Maren! Yay! I can't believe it is finally here. I am excited to hear about this sweet little Cordell (love the name choice...very distinguished). I hope labor and recovery and all of the fun stuff in between go well! I'll give you a call in about a week to hear all the gory details. Good luck and I love ya! Becca

Betsy said...

You do not have terror boys! They are so darn good it makes me sick with jealousy. I can't imagine this third one will be any different. You and Jared do an amazing job of raising great children.

Lauralee said...

I can't wait to meet baby Cordell and spend time with your family again this summer. And I'm so glad for you that your pregnancy is 2 days away from ending!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to meet another cute little Hill baby.

Congratulations! We knew you were expecting from the Andersons - and just checked your blog... another boy. You will be experts! Hope Preston is healed (ouch), and Ella and I enjoyed Maren's V-day video:) I had no idea you had such increadible face-painting/Halloween costumes. You should win awards.
