We pulled up into the driveway, all of us in amazing moods.
"Actually," Josh said pulling around in the driveway.
"Daddy! What are you doing?!" Georgia giggled.
"Sushi?" Josh turned around wiggling his eyebrows at the girls.
"Eeeeeeeeeeeee!" Lily giggled at his face.
"I'll take that as a yes," Josh chuckled and continued to drive out of the driveway.

We pulled up to the Sushi place. Madame Jin's Amazing Most Best Sushi, chosen by the girls.
I slung my purse over my shoulder and opened my door. My feet hit the pavement as a hopped out of our mini van. I continued to unbuckle Georgia as Josh did Lily's. We smiled across the car and looked at the girls. Our third was on the way and I couldn't believe it.
I picked up Georgia and put her on my hip. Even though they were 4 I still couldn't help but hold them every 20 seconds. We walked into the restaurant hand in hand after I set her squirmy feet on the ground.
"Table for 4 please!" I told the hostess standing at the front of the restaurant.
"Right this way," she smiled back.
We were led to a round booth in the back corner of the restaurant with black leather seats and lucky for us, it was pushed back against a large aquarium of colorful fish on the wall. Josh and I were sure to give the girls a seat in the back side of the booth so they could fascinate themselves with the fish.
"Mae will be your server tonight, she'll be right with you!"
The hostess scurried back to the front of the restaurant where another couple was waiting. She walked them to their table as I looked back at Josh who was smiling at me. The girls were with their backs faces us pointing at all the fish and shouting things like "Lil! Look at this one!" and "Georgie! Look at the swimming one!"
"What are you looking at?" I asked Josh curiously.
"You," he sighed.
I laughed at his cheesiness at the same time I reached my hand over the table for him to grab. When he was about to grab my hands I quickly pulled away.
"Too slow!" I teased.
A woman with long wavy caramel brown hair and stunning ocean blue eyes walked over to us with the brightest smile on her face. Her dimples shined on her face.
"Hi guys! My names Mae! I'll be your server tonight, may I just say that your daughters are beautiful!" She shook her head while looking at the girls. "They remind me of my sisters,"
"They must be bundles of joy!" I smiled back at her, all of a sudden her face dropped and her dimples and smile disappeared.
"Were," she sighed.
"Omigoodness im so sorry," I rushed out.
How rude of me! The poor girl!!! She must be only 20 and her sisters passed away...
"It's okay! They both got leukemia at birth. Neither lived past 3 years,"
"Actually sorry to get you down, what can I get for you! They're in a happier place so don't worry about it!" She was the most happy person I'd ever met.
We continued and ordered our meals. We stuffed our faces until we couldn't eat another crumb. We said a goodbye to the beautiful young waitress and left for the car.

6 months later:We finished.
The soon to be baby's room was finished!
We went with a yellow and white themed room for our baby girl... My favorite part, the HUGE stuffed animal elephant sits next to the crib.
Of course the girls got jealous so we had to buy Lily a cat one and Georgia a horse one. There's are sitting next to their "big girl" bunk bed in their pink and white themed bedroom. Classic, I know...
I'm now 8 months pregnant and due in 2 weeks! I have a feeling this baby's gonna come early so Josh and I have a bag packed for when the night arrives! The girls have one too.
We haven't decided on a name yet for the baby. Josh and I decided we want to wait for the baby to come before we name her... And let's hope it's not a surprise set of those again! We've got ours already.
"Baby! Dinners ready!" Josh yelled from downstairs.
"Coming!"
I carefully made my way downstairs into the dining room, holding on to the railing the whole way... A smart move on my behalf.
When I stepped into the dining room I saw the girls positioned at their usual seats with a weird look on their faces. On the table there was grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, cranberry salad, and of course kale chips!
"What's wrong girls?" I asked, wondering why they were looking they were about to explode from having to sit so still.
"Daddy made us wait for you to come before we could eat!" Lily whined.
"Well I'm sorry girls! Eat up!" I motioned towards the food, taking a seat at my usual seat next to Josh.
I spooned a scoop of salad and potatoes on my plate, followed by a handful of kale chips and a large chicken breast.
"Josh, this looks delicious as usual!" I leaned over to kiss his cheek only for him to dodge and kiss my lips instead.
"Ewwww! Daddy! You'll give her a disease that'll make her dead!" Georgia screams.
"Oh I'm so sorry, we don't want to have her dead!" He laughs, pulling away.
"No we don't!" I laughed along.

Lily spilled her drink. (Haha got you there! Lol)
"Josh! Crap! More water!!! My water broke!"
