Today I am 32 and just popped my first gray hair a few weeks ago. I also thought it would be an appropriate time to share that baby number three is on its way, due in October! Diego doesn’t really get it yet, but Isabela, the day I found out I was pregnant said,

“Mama, I’m really happy we’re having another baby, but I’m worried it’s going to be a boy. We already have too many boys in our house.”

Juliet just found out she’s having a boy, so if it turns out that our baby is a boy, then yes, Isabela will be drastically outnumbered. Of course, she will make a good ring leader to the four younger ones in the house.

My grandfather has a tradition of writing birthday poems each for us, summarizing our year in a most delightful way. This is my birthday poem that I just received and wanted to share. Thank you, Grandpa!

Well, Mrs. Mudspice who likes to muck around,
Looks like you are getting hits as your blog is noticeably found.
Just wanted to alert you that Spring is here,
Oh Yes! Also Happy Birthday to our granddaughter we hold so dear.

Are people starting to notice your beautiful glow?
In that for the third time you are starting to show.
You have always been one to make things really hum,
That is why you have been a fantastic mum.

Know that your Hubby Chris is delighted to have one more,
He is a grand person you both admire and adore.
Looks like you will need two more cardboard boxes for the kids to play,
Most ingenious of you and Juliet for many a rainy day.

Isabela and Diego will be overjoyed with their new sib too,
Olee and his bro the same when their new cousin is due.
The Sun sign of Aries indicates for you a bright and happy future,
You have much going for you that is for sure.

To our ‘76er and trilingual nieta we say Feliz Cumpleaños,
Have a wonderful day celebrating your numero treinta y dos.
