Happy News

Well since I am finally about caught up on the blog (Phew), we have some happy news to share. And I'm sure after saying that, everyone has already guessed what it is. So yes, Baby #3 is on the way!!!!  We are pretty excited about it and just can't wait for the beginning of November to get here already.

This is our baby at my 9 week ultrasound.

I'm about 16 weeks this week and finally starting to feel better. This has been my first pregnancy where I've really had to deal with morning sickness and wow, it really knocked me out. Brayden and Tyler loved it cause they could watch endless cartoons and do whatever they wanted while I pretty much lived on the couch. So I'm pretty happy to say goodbye to that now that I'm in the 2nd trimester and feeling a bit better. Now I just need to get my thyroid under control. It's my first time having to deal with that during a pregnancy too and it's been a struggle so far.

This will also be my first time being really pregnant over the summer. Boy oh boy, I can already tell it is going to be rough. Why is Florida so stinkin' HOT already!  Dallas definitely was too, but it just feels worse here since it's tropical maybe? I'm hoping I can survive it!!!

Other then that, things are good and we are just counting down the weeks. I just started feeling the baby move this last week, which is definitely my favorite part. It makes it really seem real and not like I'm just eating way too much junk food and getting fat. And wow, maybe it's because this is baby #3, but I am definitely showing so much sooner. With both my boys I could pretty much hide it the whole first half of my pregnancy, but this time around I feel like it started as soon as I found out I was pregnant.  By the end of the summer, people really are going to wonder if a huge whale just washed up on the beach when we go! Haha, not really looking forward to that so much!!!

We have our ultrasound in a few weeks to see if we're having a boy or girl, which is definitely an exciting day. Of course, I'd love to see what having a girl is like, but I would love another boy to complete my 3 musketeers. That would sure be easier on the budget too. So either way, we're going to be happy! We've also debated about being old fashioned and not finding out, but I'm not sure I have the strength in the moment to say that I don't want to know! We'll see what happens when the time comes, but right now we are just feeling blessed to have our family grow. Life is so good :)

This is how we told my family the good news when they came to Florida for spring break  :)
