yes! again! for the third and final time. i am 24 weeks into my pregnancy, this time with a girl after having 2 healthy boys--jack is 14 and nathan is 5. they are both excited about the prospect of having a baby sister because they think she won't get on their nerves like they do to each other. HA! i say, HA HA!!
i've been wanting to create this blog about being pregnant and having our 3rd child for a while, but have just procrastinated until, finally, i am having a restless night and thought i could just try it to see how it may turn out.
so--i'll get to it. 24 weeks ago, we were in vegas......about 6 weeks later i took a test and it was positive. tommy and i were both shocked and thrilled. and scared. 3 kids!!!????!!! but i had been wanting another one for a few years, so we couldn't have been happier. then i lost my job and got horrible horrible morning sickness. so bad that i honestly do not think i could be pregnant again. i know that sounds terrible because the m/s is only a temporary adjustment to something wonderful. but seriously--there were some days i just didn't know if i'd make it to the next. now, of course, i feel great! just your normal pregnancy complaints--heartburn, reflux, fatigue (my goodness the fatigue!) and the dreaded RLS--something else i could live without--and also the reason my blog is beginning tonight.
in 2 days i begin a new job with more stable hours and a more structured timeline--in addition i'll be able to sit most of the day!! after being on my feet for 40+ hours a week for nearly 15 years, i am very excited!
in the beginning of this pregnancy, time seemed to take forever to get to 10 weeks, 12, then 16. now at 24 weeks i am surprised at how fast time is actually going.
knowing we are having a girl makes things a little different. shopping is DIFFERENT!!! let me tell you, if you have all boys and then you have a girl, all the little patterns and designs on the clothes seem unreal! i get so giddy and have a difficult time making up my mind already when i go baby shopping!
i can see i am starting to ramble and it is 2:30am. i will continue posting blogs hopefully at regular intervals.
