8 weeks, 5 days.
Due September 2, 2009.
3 babies in 38 months.
WOW - I'm pregnant.
Again.
(Surprise!)
I had a positive HPT on January 8, 2009 - I held the news to myself for 12 hours, through work, and after our guests (SIL, nieces, cousin) left for the evening. I simply blurted it out to my husband this time - no fancy cards or gifts. It was 11:30 PM, and he was just turning out the light for bed - I showed him the test and started laughing & tearing up. Talk about an adrenaline rush! We talked and laughed until about 2:30 AM - no rest for the weary.
Since, it has been a whirlwind few weeks - of nausea, vomiting, fatigue, oh and taking care of two busy boys! I am doing my best to just let the house, the laundry, and everything else go....thankfully I don't care too much, either.
Today was my first OB appointment with Dr. L. Based on my LMP, I should be around 12-13 weeks, but according to the ultrasound, I am 8w5d (thanks to breastfeeding).
3 babies in 38 months. Crazy, no?
I've always said I would love a September baby and that I needed to "not have a big gap in my kids' ages" ~ well, here ya go! God has a sense of humor. Thank you, Lord, for this precious gift. We look forward to this new sweet addition in our family. Please help us be the best parents to him/her that we possibly can be.
I still have to inform my brothers, SILs, and grandma. Not to mention work, friends, small group....
But first, sleep.
Sleep, sleep, sleep.
Beth
I am Wife to one and Mama to four. I married the only boy I ever loved, and was given four more that make my heart burst every single day. I love doing laundry, attempting to live frugally, and figuring out how to help my boys expend their boundless energy. And I'm still trying to figure out exactly how to respond to, "Wow, you have your hands full!"
My Main Man
Tim & I have known each other since we were in high school (and yet, he married me anyway!). He's smart, loves books, and always has me laughing. He is my best friend, and the most amazing father to our sons. Cliche, but true: he is my other, better half, and I thank God for him every single day!
Number One
Jacob made me a Mama in June of '06. At 5, he is the oldest of our crew of blue. He loves trains, swimming, reading books, and going on adventures.
Number Two
Following his big brother by 18 months, Wyatt is our Christmas Eve babe. He is full of spunk, the Middle Child, and all boy. He loves sweets, horses, and making a mess.
Number Three
Every bit a surprise, but loved with every fiber of my being, Nathaniel joined our family in September of '09. He is our little spit-fire, and has more energy than than our oldest two combined. Nate is a Mama's boy, has quick hands, loves playing ball and climbing on everything, and trying to keep up with his brothers. Most days he succeeds! We often wonder just what he will be "teaching" in his new role: Big Brother!
Number Four
Everett is our youngest, born at 41.2 weeks in March '11 . He was the biggest of our guys at birth: 9 lbs, 2 oz and 22 inches. He is easy-going, cuddly, and sweet-smelling. He loves to eat Cheerios, be outside, and be held by Mama. He is already being tested as The Baby by his Big Brothers ~ and he certainly can hold his own. It is hard to believe that his presence makes us a family of six!
