That's right... I'm pregnant! 2 days before Thanksgiving I took a home pregnancy test and it came back positive. I'm due July 28th, which makes me 8 weeks along. It was a bit of a surprise to find out that we're expecting again, but a good surprise. I've always wanted a big family, at least 4 kids.. but now that I have 2 and I'm pregnant with my 3rd I'm wondering if 3 could be our magic number. :) We've talked about adopting, so I guess we'll see what the Lord has for us in the future.
For the past 2 weeks I've been struggling with fatigue and morning sickness, but thankfully everyday it gets easier.
We've decided to wait until the baby is born to find out what we're having. Everyone says it's the best surprise! Since we have everything we need for either a boy or a girl we're fully prepared. If I had to guess, I'd say I'm carrying a girl because the morning sickness has been nothing compared to when I was pregnant with Jayden... but maybe my body just handles morning sickness better with the more children I have?? haha! Who knows!
So the age gaps will be almost 3 years between Jayden and baby #3. And 21 months between Gabriella and baby #3. I'm hoping to get both the kids potty trained by the beginning of next Summer so I don't have 3 kids in diapers! Even if I can just get Jayden potty trained I'd be happy!
One more thing! We've applied for CHP+ which is an insurance company that is government funded for children newborn-18 years and pregnant women 19+. We meet the income requirements which means we'll be able to have this baby without having to pay a dime!!! All the prenatal care, labor and delivery and postpartum care is free!! It's a huge blessing!
haha, oh well...at least this failure results in a wonderful blessing!
ReplyDeleteJust something to keep in mind: my birthday's July 25th. So you should probably work on having that little baby 3 days early. ;)
