I wrote all of this down the day we found out about Baby Jane.
I just found out that I am pregnant with baby number 3 today. Number 3. Holy cow that sounds so crazy. I have been off birth control for a few months now. So we knew every month was a possibility. But I did not feel pregnant at all, so I figured it would still be a few months. I hadn't necessarily been feeling ready to be pregnant again, but the feeling has been growing and growing that our family was ready to grow.
By looking at the calendar today I realized that if I was or was not pregnant a pregnancy test would be able to tell me today. I took it and the test line immediately appeared, but not the pregnant line. I figured that was how it would be so I changed into my workout clothes and got ready to go do a T25. As I turned to walk out of the bathroom I saw the test again with a definite pregnancy line. My jaw dropped. I was shocked. With Jules and Abby I was certain I was pregnant before I took the test. I haven't been feeling sick, and other than being a little bit more emotional than usual I felt totally normal.
I just stood there as all these thoughts started running through my head. I had to decide if I was going to tell Kyle right now or wait until later. I am the worst at keeping secrets. It will be a miracle if I make to 10 weeks without telling anyone. Seriously a miracle. So I came out of the bathroom and knelt down next to Kyle who was checking stuff on his phone. This is how the conversation went:
K: I don't want to go to school today.
Me: Well then stay home so we can celebrate.
K: Celebrate what? The beginning of third year?
Me: No.
K: Then what?
Me: (Big Smile on my face)
K:Then what????
Me: (Keep smiling as he starts to realize)
K: Are you pregnant?!?!
The he gave me the biggest hug and I told him the whole story of the pregnancy test. I love telling Kyle I'm pregnant. His reaction is always the best. Pure joy and excitement. I love building a family with him. He couldn't stop smiling the rest of the morning. But I didn't convince him to stay home. Something about school being important and what not.
So now I'm home waiting for the girls to wake up so we can get our busy day started thinking about how crazy the next 9 months are going to be. I am nervous for my body to change again. I'm nervous about being so sick with two little girls and no family around. I worried about how we will handle 4th year with 3 kids!! Are we having a boy? A girl? How sick will I be? Will I be able to keep working out so I can stay strong and have an easier recovery? How will I do all of this with my calling?
And then I can't help but smile and wonder what this baby will look like. We'll find out the gender right before Thanksgiving. I'll be 14 weeks when we go to Disneyland so I shouldn't be sick and I should have my energy back. One day I will go to Disneyland and not be pregnant or nursing...one day. I'm so excited to see how Jules and Abby will do with this new baby. They will love it. Jules will be almost 2 and half and Abby will be one month shy of being 4. 5 people is a big family! I will have a big family! I am in serious disbelief right now.
I can't wait to make a doctors appointment and hear the little heart beat and see the little peanut.
I am so grateful for my Heavenly Father and for him giving us this blessing. He is trusting us with another little spirit. Our little family is growing. This is all I have ever wanted and even though it is so scary, it is also exciting. I can't wait to meet this little baby. I can't wait to feel it move. I can't wait to hold it and bring it into our family!
Its going to be an exciting 9 months.
Now I am 25 weeks and feeling great! Little baby is very very active. I have been feeling great! The sickness from 6 to about 18 weeks was miserable. But I managed to keep working out through it all. I ran a 10k at 13 weeks. I did an insanity this morning. I am trying really hard to manage my weight gain this time and keep my body strong. I want to be able to bounce back fast so that I can be the fun mom I want to be and that my active girls deserve! Its been a fun adventure being pregnant, but I can't wait for this sweet baby girl to be here!
