Those pictures are hilarious! Both of you guys trying to act like you didn't know what got you there! Ha ha! Congrats, you're a GREAT mom, what's one more child! You'll do great.

Mom said...

You're our "Fertile Myrtle"! Since my first two kids were 19 months apart, I know it can be overwhelming and busy but you have the personality to deal with it, if anyone can. You are a mother "extraordinaire". We're excited to love on that 5th grandchild! :-) I love you, Shelly.

Elizabeth said...

congratulations! that's so exciting! be prepared to be outnumbered!! ahaha

The Summerhays Crew said...

Congratulations!! 3, you go girl! I am somewhat thinking of baby #2...ok probably not for at least another year. Love these pics!

Alyse said...

Oh my gosh!! Congrats Shelly & Jono! That is SOOOO exciting! I can't believe it! So, when are you due?!

Melissa said...

Congrats!! That is so exciting!! My twin sister Sara had a similar situation. ;) You should read all about it on her blog.

Marissa said...

Congrats shelly! So exciting. Family of 5!! Crazy!!

Kristina said...

It's baby central! Hooray! Hope you're feeling OK. I forget how many weeks you are now. Wish we lived just an hour closer so we could swap and play more often than we do. Love you!

Sarah, RN said...

congrats! best wishes and best of luck! 3 is work, but they are wonderful.

Mema and PaPa said...

Hip Hip Hooray--Another kiddie to love. You are the perfect Mom to handle it. I wish I had your patience and calmness--especially when I had my first 4 kids so close together. BEWARE--they all leave home way too soon and way too close together. I still don't like that part of it. You and Jonathan are great and your family is adorable. I'm the Lucky Ducky to get to claim all of you as my family. Congratulations. ILYT oxoxo

Joselyn said...

Congrats!! Even if it's a shock to you..I'm thrilled! I have a friend I can be pregnant with!! :) We'll have to get together and go to Disneyland or something. I hope you're feeling ok.

THE MEYERS said...

I knew all that time in the child care center of the gym was going to pay off! I'm so excited for you guys! I love seeing the pictures after hearing about the story! Congrats Shelly & Jono!

Zane and Lexi said...

Congratulations Collins Family! You two make darling little boys - won't it be fun to see what this little baby will be!

The Tyler's said...

Yeah...I'm so glad you posted about it! We are so excited for you guys. You will do so great with 3. Don't let me discourage you!
Can't wait to see what it is!

Amanda said...

I was totally joking with my comment I made on your last post, but it looks like you guys have taken it seriously! That is so exciting. Your kids are adorable, so we all know that this little offspring is bound to be as well. Hey, Natalie and Jordan are 16 months apart and Jordan and I are 15 months... so I guess it's do-able. Not that you would exactly want them that close together, but I LOVED having siblings close in age growing up.

Anyway, congratulations to you guys! I can't wait to see ALL your kids next August!!!

Ashly said...

holy cow....look at all those comments!

Julianne said...

Yeah! I'm the 25th comment! I agree with your mother-in-law....you have patience and you stay calm, you're the perfect mom for the job! Happy baby-growing.

allyn said...

whoa, shelly. crazy. you guys just can't have enough cute little boys around. or maybe this one can be a cute little girl.
that is wonderful! good luck.

Dan and Ashley said...

Congratulations you guys!! What exciting news! Babies are soooo fun!!!

The Krolak Family said...

Congratulations guys! That is so exciting. I think adding the 3rd child was easiest, but mine weren't 18 months apart either. =)How exciting!
