So we got VERY exciting news yesterday!! We're expecting again!!! I can hardly believe it! Sean and I are in a complete state of shock...but are truly happy! We always wanted 4 children, and it will be so nice to have them all so close while growing up!
So the details...this pregnancy comes as a shock because we were only together once this month!! Imagine that...it takes us a year of struggle, and clomid, to get pregnant with the twins....then bam! One time, and we're expanding our family again! We are thrilled though!
I have no idea what the actual due date is, but according to my calculations based on possible ovulation, I should be due at the very end of July...which means I will more than likely have another August baby! Oh...it just occurred to me, I'll be able to use all those Leo clothes of Lily's again!!
So what tipped us off that we were expecting again if I don't remember my LMP? Well one, I expected my period at the end on November. When I didn't have it by the first, I started wondering...but didn't think to much on it. But then I started getting really tired in the middle of the day, and at night. I have been falling asleep on the couch all week around 2-3pm, and then again at 7:30pm. I don't know how many times this week I've gone to bed at 7:30!! Then a couple days ago I started getting queasy at some smells. Like the yummy turkey soup that I made with the leftover Thanksgiving turkey was suddenly making me feel sick at just the thought of making myself a bowl. And every time I walk by the sink I have to hold back a gag! Then yesterday I woke up, went to the living room, and smelled something funny..and would smell it any time I went into the room! I tore the living room apart yesterday morning looking for maybe a rotten apple under the couch, or a moldy piece of bread hidden behind the stuffed animals! I couldn't find anything though, and no one else could smell what I was smelling! Just my crazy pregnant nose I guess! So, all those added up, and my period being late by at least a week, we picked up a test in the afternoon!
I took the test as soon as we got home, fully expecting it to be negative. As soon as the pee started to wick across the test window, the test line showed up, but the control line didn't appear right away. I was staring at the test thinking, well maybe this batch got messed up, and the test line and control line got switched...it's got to be negative. But as we were staring at it, the control line started to appear. I'll be honest....the first thing out of my mouth was "Oh F***!!", and then saying some not so nice things to Sean about this being his fault. Sean was just staring at the test, on his knees, in shock. I went to the living room, grabbed the phone, getting ready to call best friend Becky to freak out with her...but Sean caught me, and asked me not to tell anyone just yet, and gave me a big hug and kiss, and told me he was happy to be having another baby! It only took about a 3 minute freak out before we became overwhelmed with happiness!
We are very concerned about our housing situation though. We are already over flowing with people in this house. With only 3 bedrooms, 2 of them small, and 5 people, we were going to need a new house in a couple years as it is. Now with a new addition, we will definitely need a bigger house now! I'm mostly worried about selling a house in this market, and keeping a house show ready all the time while pregnant with 3 small kids. I'm not known for being neat, so this will be tough! I'll have to do it though. I hope we can get some projects done in the next couple months so we can get the house on the market soon! I'm excited about looking for a new house though! We'll be looking for at least 4 bedrooms, and a finished basement for a playroom. I hope we can afford what we need in a house! I'm going to miss this one though. It's our first house, and we brought our twins home here! It'll be sad leaving!
So, big news for our getting big family! I can't believe we are going down this journey so soon again! I'm looking forward to it though! I really do love being pregnant!
