Dear friends, my husband Gareth and I are thrilled to announce thatwe are expecting our third daughter in late summer. Eva and Katie are very excited to have a new baby sister. Three girls, what a magic number!

I’m very excited. We know what it is -– it’s a girl. I’m feeling good now, although I wasn’t! Carrying one instead of two will be much easier.

Congratulations to Martie and Gareth (and their two daughters); how exciting! It’s nice to hear when fertility treatments work as it’s not always the case. Can’t wait to hear more details – as always, excited about the name.

Aww another girl. I always notice a lot of the time when people have 2 girls already or 2 boys, their 3rd child ends up being the same sex.

Whoo-hoo! Congrats to Martie and family. It’s good to hear that the treatment worked, and it’s cool they’re having another girl – It’ll be like Martie and her two sister (Except they have twins).
