That's right...I am pregnant with #3! We found out on April 28th that we are going to have another baby. We are so excited!
I knew that there was a chance that I was pregnant, so I stopped on my way home from class to buy a pregnancy test. I took it when I got home and was thrilled to see the + sign appear. I already had an idea in mind of how to tell Burt (he didn't know I was taking the test), so I typed up a little poem, taped the test to it and gave it to him. He was a little surprised, but very excited, too.
We decided to wait for several weeks before we spread the news to many people. My family was planning to come into town in June for Will's birthday so we waited to tell them in person and got to tell Burt's parents while talking with them on Skype.
So far, the pregnancy is going great. I am a little more tired than I remember being with the boys and feel like I am hungry all the time. Some of my cravings have been similar (tomatoes, baked potatoes, hot peppers) but I have had some that have been different (bagels, fried potatoes, potato soup, eggs). I am thankful that the tiredness and sickness didn't really hit until after our semester ended. It has been nice to be able to be home and not having to work during this time.
My official due date is January 4th. I will have another scheduled C-Section and right now, the date that the doctor has in mind is December 29th. I have had one appointment with the nurse and one with the doctor. They did an ultrasound at the 2nd appointment and I was measuring right where I should have. I have a friend that teaches in the PA school at the University and she and a doctor that teaches there also did an ultrasound for us. It is always a relief and so much fun to get to take a peak at the baby and see that everything is going well.
My next doctor's appointment is scheduled for July 26th. I will also have another ultrasound and hopefully we will be able to determine the gender of the baby!
Here are a few pictures from the pregnancy so far...
