Okay, I am feeling really guilty for not introducing our little one to the blog yet. This is cute baby #3. SHE is due May 21-22 and we cannot be more thrilled. We found out when Dave and I were in NYC. I thought I was for various reasons and when packing I took a pregnancy test with me. I felt pretty good most of the trip, a little tired and nauseous, but couldn’t really blame it on a pregnancy quite yet. I took the test on our last day in NYC. What a GREAT day. We were very happy and excited. We waited for weeks to tell people and I think we kept a pretty good secret. (Besides my mom who said, “I just knew it.” We announced it at Dave’s birthday party at my parents house. The girls wore “Big Sister in Charge shirts,” and might I say they looked stinkin’ cute! We didn’t tell Anna until we put the shirt on so it was a good surprise for her too!
In the beginning I was really nauseated and exhausted. I swore it was a boy because I hadn’t been that sick with the other girls. It was pretty pitiful some days, I was doing my best to keep up, but some days the couch was my best friend. We have a boy name, I was sick, and we already have 2 girls… it was a boy for sure….
WRONG.
I had an ultrasound with Dr. Kaelberer and told him to write it down for Dave and I to open together. He said he was only 85% sure and I shouldn’t tell family at our party that weekend. I got out to the car and called Dave, I couldn’t wait to open it, then all the sudden I didn’t want to know, I knew it would say a girl. I shouldn’t say this, sorry baby #3 but a little disappointment set in as I read it to Dave. I thought for sure it was a boy and I was excited at that possibility, mostly because of the dynamic a boy would bring to the family, and also so Dave would have someone to do sports with. I held out until another Ultrasound with my mom and her co-worker. Another girl! Then our “real” Ultrasound confirmed it again. GIRLIE GIRL! I love my girls and am excited to see the dynamics that this little one will bring to our family. There is a sweetness about girls, I love pink and girly things, I love that I don’t have to do much shopping in the beginning… only for more girly goodness and she will be loved just as much as any other baby! I cannot wait to see her beautiful face and little features.
Now, I am almost 25 weeks and she is an active little one! She kicks and moves quite a bit. It is fun to feel again. Some days it catches me off guard like, What is that? oh yeah, I am pregnant. I started showing quite a while ago, but this week has set in the uncomfortable hard tummy stage. I feel large and in charge,but try to remind myself it’s okay I am growing a human for heaven sakes! So crazy. So amazing. So exciting!
Baby girl we love you already and cannot wait to meet you soon! (3 1/2 months….but who is counting… oh we all are!)
