If one more....

If one more person says, "You're going to be busy." In response to this pregnancy i'm going to spit on them. I'm already so sick of hearing it. I'm busy now, I know that i'm going to be busy. And anyway, the people that are telling me that either don't have kids, don't have 3 or more kids, or are so old that they can hardly remember yesterday let alone back when their respective children were young. Ug. I hate comments from people who don't have kids. They act like since they have friends who have kids, or occassionally babysit a child or know someone else who has kids that they know what it's like. Um, sorry, no you don't. I guess i'm just grouchy this morning and I posted about my pregnancy on myspace so I opened myself up for comments from people which I readily admit is my own fault but geez....would a simple congratulations just kill you???

There, I feel better now. Have a good day! Enjoy the 70 degree weather. We're going to try to!

2nd round of blood work

We had our first dr appointment on Monday and I had some bloodwork taken. I needed to repeat it 48 hours later, we had that done this morning exactly 46 hours later. My number was supposed to double in that time, well it tripled. Wow! I'm soo thrilled. The nurse said that it could mean that it's twins but somehow I doubt that. We will get to see this baby for the first time and it's beating heart next Thursday!! I'm sooo excited! It's going to be a long week wait but I wanted to wait until Matt could go also. Matt's Mom is going to watch the kids for us while we get the u/s done! I've had the dr tell me with each pregnancy that I had a 'factor' for possibly having multiples but so far it's proven not true I think this time will be the same not that we wouldn't be thrilled with twins but we're stopping at 3 if we have anything to say about it! 8 long days until the ultrasound....patience isn't my strong suit.

we told.

I told the rest of my family today about the pregnancy. We got some congrats, we got some 'oh-you're going to be busy." I'm excited about my dr appointment tomorrow even though it's going to be kind of silly. I always feel more 'officially' preggers after I go to the dr. As if you can get any more 'officially' pregnant! lol
I'm exhausted and starving since I didn't each much today...off to grab something light to eat and then go to bed so I can wake up early and clean up this disaster of a house.

Tired

I'm feeling pretty good so far. A little queasy and a lot tired but good none the less. I have my first dr appointment on Monday and I think that i'll get an ultrasound the following week or so do get an official due date. I'm anxious about getting the u/s b/c then we would be able to see the heartbeat and I would feel so much relief. Only time will tell. We really like the name Madison but it so popular that I don't think I like using it. I like the name Lily but Matt is undecided on it. Evan's party is tomorrow and I have sooo much to try and get done between now and then. I'm a little angry about the weather being rainy now since I was planning on having things outside for the kids to do but maybe i'll just put the castle bouncer inside. I still cannot believe that I look pregnant already, I mean, I know that it's just bloating but still. It's a litle upsetting. I just feel like as soon as implantation happened my body screamed, "assume the position, man your battle stations" and everything jumped into preggers mode!

The cat's out of the bag!

We wanted to not tell everyone right away with this baby...but i'm already showing which I don't understand how that's possible, but I am. I'm not real happy about it but hey, I kinda knew that it would happen. So we told Matt's parents, brothers and Grandmother yesterday. Then I told my parents last night also. Matt's family was excited...my Mom seemed stunned but whatever. I don't care. It's what we wanted. Anyone who doesn't like it can take a hike and take their opinions with them. Boo-ya.

Name Game....session#1

We were talking about names again last night. We have two top choices for a boy, Connor and Cole. We really like them both but think that we're leaning towards Connor Matthew for a boy. In regards to girls names.....we're having some issues with finding one we like. We kind of like Madison, Sarah, and Taylor. We just aren't sure. And since we're probably not going to find out the sex of this baby, we are going to have to have one chosen for each sex by the time delivery rolls around which if history repeats itself will be sometime early in the week of Thanksgiving, if my guess at my due date is right, I'll put my money on Monday November 24th. I guess Matt won't be hunting this year either. lol. Oops.

3 days

We've now known that we're pregnant for 3 days and I think that it's finally hitting me that we're having another baby and that this is our last one. We had to try for a few months to get pregnant with this baby unlike our other two that happened on the first try. I can't imagine what it feels like for the couples out there that have to try for years to get pregnant. Every month is such a dissapointment. We started trying so that this baby and Evan would be the same age apart as Grace and Evan since we love how they are spaced, but this baby and Evan will be 20 months apart, and Grace and Evan are 16 months. I know that a third child is going to make things even more challenging but i'm ready for it and can't wait to have our first Christmas as a complete family!! Now we just have to figure out when the right time to tell everyone will be. We have our first doctor appointment on Monday the 7th and I might need an ultrasound to get a good due date...so maybe after we see the heartbeat on the ultrasound we will tell everyone. Until then, this is my secret blog that i'm just using to write about everything that I can't talk to people about yet!!
