It may be obvious what the big news is, but we are expecting baby #3! It was not planned, but we are very excited about it. I suffered a miscarriage in December (the week before Christmas), which was a complete and total shock to me. That pregnancy had a been a surprise too, so to experience the miscarriage was even more of a surprise, especially since I had no issues with my two previous pregnancies.
In July, I had planned my first kids/spouse free weekend since before Ashley was born. I was going to Charleston to visit my friend Tiffany. Before I was pregnant with Ashley, I would visit Tiffany at least 2-3 times a year. We would have low key weekends, mostly just chatting, eating out, going to the beach, shopping, chatting :-) I have decided spending time with friends is so important and something I need to make more of a priority.
Anyway, I was expecting my period the week before my trip. It never showed up. I was not going to test because I wanted to be able to enjoy a few drinks on my kid free weekend. Of course, the closer I got to leaving for Charleston, the more I knew I would have to test before I left. Of course, it was a big old positive! Such shock!
I am 14.5 weeks now and feeling pretty good. I have been exhausted and nauseous, but nothing like how I felt with Peyton, so I have been counting my blessings. I go to the doctor next week for blood work and then we have our big anatomy scan on October 18th. Because I will be 35 when I deliver, I am considered "advanced maternal age" and will meet with a specialist after hours to perform the ultrasound. I am saying many many prayers that everything comes back good with my blood work and the anatomy scan.
So on or around March 23rd, we will be adding a new baby to our household. Let the craziness begin!
