If you play poker, you know that one of the most desirable hands is a full house. And for those of you who are pure of heart and know not the rules of poker, a full house, also known as a full boat, consists of three matching cards of one rank and two matching cards of another rank. Between two full houses, the one with the higher ranking three cards wins.
And this whole little poker lesson is brought to you because, at last, we're counting down in single digits the number of days before our little family officially becomes a full house. And with the three little men we nearly have under our roof, there will be no such thing as a higher rank to our very own three of a kind.
I feel so blessed and on the same token so nervous about taking on the daunting task of raising three sons. But, my better-half in the "two-of-a-kind pairing" of our almost full-house seems to have a knack for remaining calm when I am all nerves and visa verse. And somehow, we compliment one another when the other is nearing the end of a frayed rope.
And though we'll have melt downs and messes and chaos that only "three of a kind" can create... we're seriously excited to welcome our new baby boy to the world. He has the best older brothers a little man could ask for and it seems to us that they are aware of and anticipating the almost arrival of our new "Bay-Bee" very soon.
And from the looks of things... they're totally good with a full house.
P.S. Photos of "Double Trouble" and Buddha Belly were shot by RyGar in a speedy little session that was the antithesis of profesh but you know what... We now have a little personal touch for Baby Love's nursery. Amen.

Aw...I love the pics! Super cute and I can't believe you'll have 3 boys soon, so exciting!
They look great! Ryan is talented! You are going to be so busy and it is going to be a total blur for a while. It really helped me that I blogged because now I can go back and see what happened when the twibs were little, because I seriously couldn't remember otherwise. If anyone can do it, you guys can.
Awww....I love that last pic! And good luck!!! Can't wait to this little man!
I think Ryan could have a photo side career! Nice pictures! Good luck in the next few weeks - I can't believe #3 is almost here.
