hello cybervillage,now is as good of a time as any to let you know that we just found out that we're expecting baby number three. we are all thrilled and somewhat in shock, even though we were trying. i've never seen grace this excited. although it's very premature to be sharing this (i'm only a couple of weeks), we tend to announce early and hope for the best. historically, we've been very lucky with no pregnancy problems so we're forging ahead, letting people know, and hoping for the best.
pretty soon, where you see that empty space in the lower left hand side of the picture, there will be the final gilbert with their chubby little toes, making the circle complete.
any words of wisdom or advice? and how on earth am i supposed to nap when i've got two others tearing up the house? :) and is it possible to gain six pounds in the first two weeks of pregnancy? my questions for you are endless.

Congratulations, Nina!! No advice to give, although I hear that going from 2 kids to 3 is somehow easier than going from 1 to 2. That's the rumor anyway...I'm sending happy thoughts your way!
yay mama! i love you guys, and am so so so excited that there will be another little one to love on...
hugs and belly rubbins,
A
p.s. a visit soon? like really soon??
me too you??
Favotite Mama of mine!!
I am just so happy for you all! I was on air yesterday and filled with happiness for you! (At least this time we got a real positive...LOL!! The stick that almost was...grrr!)
So, all I can say is I love you and I can't wait to share in this wonderful journey as you close and complete your family circle! Rock on, Mama!!
Much love,
tabatha

hooray! i'm so happy for you. i'm 16 weeks with my first, so i have no clue what to tell you, esp. since you are old hat at this!
congratulations pretty mama! i'm happy for you - have always thought three was a great number of babies to have. (=
like you, i told early...much love to you my friend. xo
Hoooooooray!!!! I am so happy for you!!!!
The first thing I though of is how we need to have a cyber baby shower for you! Ok so I guess showers are suppose to be surprises but I got so excited I had to share!!!
You probably have some already, but do you want my maternity clothes? I have quite a big tub sitting in my basement.
XO,
Melba
Congrats, we are so very very happy for you all! What a lucky baby. Sorry no advice from this mama! You are a natural mom so you won't have any problems!
Yipeee, Congrats to my favorite mama ever!!!! I am so very happy for you and for the other gilbertins!!! Grace is alreay a big sister pro, but I know that Joey will be such a sweet big brother!!
I wish I could help you on the napping bit. We had our own issues here and there is nothing like pregnancy tired!! I can come over and play with your kiddies so you can nap :):)

FANTASTIC! Congratulations!! I have been dreaming of being pregnant again, but it doesn't look like it's in the cards (darn TDH). I can't wait to hear all about it and live vicariously through you.
love! love! love!
Woohoo!!! Most exciting news!!!
I so want to do it again, but first I have to get two solid hours of sleep (in a row preferably).
And I am sure you will handle three little ones amazingly well!
congratulations!!! i'm so happy for you all!
we're still deciding whether or not to try for a third ;-)
absolutely, no advice here...just as much love and support as the distance will allow.
sweet blessings, beautiful mama.xo
Delurking to say congrats (and i enjoy your mama tales)! I'm about to go from 1 to 2 (any minute now)so not in a pozzie to give you any advice. I'm sure your third will just slot right in with big sis and bro.
xx
Yay!!!!!!! congratulations!
I'm so happy for your little clan. I'm glad that Grace seemed to take it well and appears she will continue to adapt to being the big sister! :)
I have no idea how you nap and rest with two, i'm already having trouble picturing how i will (eventually) do it with one.
take care of your self and call if you need you anything.
wonderful news~ brought tears to my eyes~
miss you nina beana~

Nina- Congratulations. What great news. I can picture the toes in that picture and can't wait for them to appear. Hope all is well and continues to be well. xoxox
Stefania
Amazingly wonderful news! Congratulations and many blessings.

What joy! What excitement! I have no advice, because something tells me that after things settle, you are all going to be just fine.
oh yay! i knew it! well, i've been hoping it. ;-D i'm so utterly happy for you.
you are the best mama, do you really need advice? how bout we just chat soon and give eachother great ideas. ;-D cause mama to mama, heart to heart, is way better than me telling you what to do when i have NO idea what i'm doing! haha.
xoxo

YIPEEEEE!! Oh I'm so happy for you!! Yes gain the weight, anytime you want, have fun. You'll figure it all out when the time is right. So happy
Nina, I too sent you an e-mail before realizing you opened your comments - so, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You guys must be soooo excited. You know it's going to feel like forrrevvvvver for Grace & Joey, they will be like, WHEN'S THE BABY COMING MOMMY!!! IT'S TAKING TOO LONG!
Will you document belly growth???
Since I only have Step-Children, I have NO advise, sorry - but I'm sure you will handle it as it come.
Congratulations to you Nina & John.
Love Vinnie
1) So nice to see you all on Sunday.
2) John has gross feet.
3) I think Grace's vocabulary is better than mine.
i came here to see if there was any news, and look!!! so happy for you and yours :)
3 is lovely and it's been three weeks since we met our third, lovelovelove is all i can say.
you'll work the naps in - it all comes together :)
xo
congrats mami! we can't to be aunties to another gilbert pup - wahooooooo! xoxo aunties joya & libby p.s. doesn't it feel like yesterday that you were walking around in the dorchester heat with newborn grace?!
oh, I can comment!!
Horray! Congratulations! Another little person!
Ha, I just read the first comment from amy (hearing that 2 kids to 3 is easier)...that is soooo not true (for me, at least). three has almost sent me to the loony bin on several occasions. But what can you do? They're the best things ever, those littles.
And I started showing immediately on the third, too. Isn't it NUTS? I'm really happy for you.
xox
B
libby thinks its twins.
Here I am the last to know although I must admit I knew all along these things being written all over the face of things. You are my hero. You are the one.
Wanted to leave a comment on your tattoo post, but I couldn't figure out how. Love the tattoo- I have been wanting one too but didn't know if I should be done nursing first.
Anyway, I have been enjoying your blog. Thanks for the music on Friday!
congrats sweetest mama! i can't wait to see this part of your journey unfold...*hugs* to you and all your expecting peeps :)
omg! hooray!!!!!
