New fixings for a LeBaron Sandwich

We are so excited to report we have a new LeBaron in the oven. This week is 12 weeks - a very important milestone and we are getting very, very, very excited. Hurry September hurry!

Upon sharing the news with the kids we had some interesting conversation:

Charlotte: Ohhhhhhhh, is that why you have a little bit fat?

Lucas: I really like babies you know.

And we have had some interesting name suggestions from the kids as well.

Charlotte votes: Ashley

Lucas votes: Diego

And our latest conversation is where the baby will fit in the family sandwich. This requires a little backstory:

Very often we find our whole family in John's and my bed. We all love to snuggle and so started joking that we are a sandwich. John is usually the bread, Charlotte the cheese, I am the meat, and Lucas the other slice of bread. This represents how each person is placed on the bed in relation to the fixings of a sandwich. (I never said we weren't odd.)

So the other day it was just Charlotte, Lucas and me and I was the meat and they were each the bread slices. We were talking about the baby and I announced that the baby would be the new cheese and Daddy could be the side of french fries. To this Luke says "And then you need to have another baby mom, because we need sauce on our  burger!" Freaking hysterical.
