Baby Tres

Sooo pretty much everyone knows at this point that we're pregnant with #3. We were surprised to find out, but let's be honest, we are fertile myrtles and should not be surprised by that fact at this point. While we were not thinking in our mind that financially we were ready for another, God has better plans then us and we quickly jumped on board and are feeling very grateful, and nauseous. Oh wait, that's just me. I journaled about my first two pregnancies and since this is our family journal now I'll hopefully keep up with pregnancy tidbits on here.

How I found out

When we were at the beach one day I started to have heart palpitations during lunch. Granted, I was eating a  fried cheese hotdog with chili that my dad made, but still, it was unusual for me. And the only time I ever get heart palpitations is when I'm pregnant. Things that make you go hmmmm. So when we got back from the beach, I went to the dollar tree and bought a pregnancy test. When it turned up positive, I was SHOCKED.

How other people found out

Pat came home from work for lunch right after I found out. I couldn't not tell him, I can't keep anything from him, but I nervous for him to find out. I knew he'd be so nice but I knew he was NOT expecting this and he would immediately think about hospital bills, college bills, weddings, etc. Yes, he goes there in his mind. I put a big brother shirt on Cole that Fin had worn when Cole was born and sent Cole over to Pat. Pat picked him up and tossed him in the air and wrestled him for like 10 minutes and never read his shirt. I was dying...

Finally I said, "Babe, do you like Coles shirt?" And Pat glanced at it with a smile and then his face froze and I'm pretty sure he had a mini stroke. He asked me if I was serious and I nodded.  I told him to let it sink in and we'd talk about it later. He agreed but added, "I'm not upset!". Lol, love him.

With telling the boys, I was soooooo excited to tell Fin b/c he had been asking me daily for a baby. One day he even said, "I hope we get some money soon so we can put a baby in your tummy". Love his innocence. Since we have a miscarriage in our history though, Pat and I were firm that we wanted to see a heartbeat before we told the boys. Once we had our appointment and everything looked great, we sat the boys down. 

Pat gave Fin the pics of ultrasound and asked him what he thought it was.
Fin: Um, that's a hairy little thing isn't it? Ummm I squirrel?
Pat: No, It's a baby!!
Fin: It's a baby squirrel?!?!
When he finally realized we were having a baby, he hysterical laughed for like a full minute. He was sooo happy. Cole had no idea what was going on  so he just picked up my shirt and yelled, "BABY!" at my stomach. Poor fetus better get used to it now.
                                                           Our first appt
Let me just say I LOVE our OB/GYN. Love her to death. I would be Michelle Duggar just so I could see her every year because I love her that much, except hello, that's a lot of morning sickness. When the nurse came out to get me from the waiting room, she took one look at us and said, "Well this is such a fun reunion isn't it??". Can you get nicer then that? The whole office remembered us and were so sweet and kind.

So, that's where we are at now. 9 weeks, so very sick, but I think with Cole I started to feel a little better at 11 weeks so please God, let that be the case this time. We are already getting the "I bet you want a girl" comments but honestly, I'd love another boy. I really don't care about the gender at all, I just always get so nervous that the baby is healthy until we have that 20 week ultrasound.
