Surprise!!!



It's official!! We are expecting Baby #3....due October 10Th. I am currently 9 wks and 5 days. I had my first sonogram today and Lily said (when the sono tech showed Lily the screen) "there's a baby in your belly, Mommy!"

We were taken completely by surprise with this pregnancy. The weekend of Dakota's birthday, I was so sick...I thought I had caught the flu from Dakota. I had a head cold, fever, and body aches...in addition to nausea (which I thought then was just from sinus drainage). The nausea continued...so on February 2ND, I took a home pregnancy test..and It was positive!!!! I was in complete shock!

I am still getting used to the idea of being a mommy of 3...but It is getting easier to accept. This year is going to be full of changes. We are still in the process of finishing home improvements to sell our house....we HAVE to find a bigger house or at least, make this house accommodate our growing family.
Dakota is excited. He wants me to have a boy, so that he can have a brother. But he did ask if I could make sure the brother was 4 years old, so that he would have someone to play with. ♥
Lily still doesn't understand much..but she does know that there is a baby in Mommy's belly....she thinks she has a mouse in her belly, though...hahaha! the way a child's brain works.

I was going to word this all differently. We found out we were pregnant on Groundhog Day...so I told Jed that I guess it's not "6 more weeks of winter for us" but 9 months of exciting changes!!!
