And then there was 5........

Although I am writing this today, January 15, I don't plan to post it until after the 22nd when I go to the doctor.

Doctor for what you ask? Well, we are expecting baby number 3!

 I know, I know, it comes as a shock to many. Especially since I myself was convinced that any more kids would make me crazy. Don't get me wrong, I have always wanted a huge family. 5 kids like I had growing up would be great. I look to the future and just see huge family dinner with grand kids all over the place. That sounds fun to me. Love everywhere.

So here we are expecting another little blessing in September 2013.


I want to try my best to chronicle this process in between bathroom breaks and overwhelming nauseous spells. As you can see that has been my reality for now. I will be 7 weeks pregnant on Wednesday. The all day sick to my stomach feeling has kicked in. So tired I can barely function is here. Smells of things are making me crazy. Nothing sounds good to eat. I'm so thirsty all the time.

Wow...I started this post in January and today is May 3,2013. I am 22 weeks pregnant with a baby girl.

April 28th 2013 (21 weeks pregnant)

Despite some bumps in the road with this pregnancy we are chugging along. I have a complete posterior placenta previa which makes this pregnancy high risk. I am a strict restrictions from my doctor. June 10th I have another ultrasound to asses the placenta and see if it has moved. Facing bed rest at some point is scary. Healthy baby is priority though.

I was very sick in my first trimester and ended up only gaining one pound. At 22 weeks I have only gained a total of 3. With 18 weeks left I hope that the weight doesn't pile on.

Did I mention we are having a baby GIRL??????? Yay!
