With this pregnancy, we thought it would be fun to keep it a family secret for a while. We announced it just before we had our ultrasound. The ultrasound showed a healthy baby, which was all I really cared to see. But I can never wait to know what I'm having, so we found out. Some people say it is like peeking at your Christmas present early, but I have never had a present sitting under the tree for nine months. After our ultrasound, we invited family over to reveal the gender. We thought this would be a fun way to tell everyone at once.
We are so happy to be adding another boy to our family. I have less than 8 weeks left until we meet our other little man and we are all so excited. Bella and Tristan ask me almost daily when he is going to get out. And then they ask me
how he is going to get out. I simply tell them. the doctor will help him get out. They talk to my belly and squish it and tell me he is getting bigger and bigger and bigger. I love feeling him move around in me. He is my most active baby. Even with two at once, I don't remember them moving as much as him. He is really strong, too. Some movements and kicks are really hard and hurt. But if that mixed with some pelvic pain is the worst part of my pregnancy, then I will be a happy lady. My pelvec pain was way worse and sooner with twins, and all I had was some nausea and headaches in the first trimester. So this is surely my best pregnancy so far. I have been trying to be healthier this time, especially since I gained a lot of weight after I stopped nursing Bella and Tristan. By being healthier, I have only gained a few pounds so far, which my doctor thinks should help with delivery. And that is good, since I am hoping to try a VBAC as long as baby is head down. I'm feeling very blessed with this pregnancy. I'm looking forward to holding him in my arms and enjoying the newborn stage as much as possible, because I know all too well how fast they grown up. I am feeling like it has been a really long time since I've been at the coming stage and I'm starting to get nervous. Especially since I am in a whole new place, with a school age kid and two rambunctious three year olds. But my heart is ready to give more love and I'm sure I can handle anything if I stay positive and parent with that love.
