I have been WAITING to Blog about this for 6 weeks now!
For those of you that know me well, you will know that I don't get zits, I don't like hotdogs, I don't usually feel sick or tired, and I NEVER miss the gym (accept for a serious tragedy!) so what does it mean when all of these things happen???
You guessed it:
WE'RE PREGNANT!!!!
We are about 13 weeks pregnant- I think. We are due with Baby #3 on March 5th 2010!
I was hoping to add the pics from my ultrasound to this blog- but they didn't transfer from JT's scanner to my laptop. (this stuff ONLY happens to me!) But since my ovulation was a little off (being the FIRST and ONLY period I have even had in almost 2 years since I became pregnant with Blake) my calculations were off and my ultrasound was at 6 weeks instead of 8! Which means- the picture that barely resembles a baby at 8 weeks, barely resembled a blob at 6!! :)
So there you go. An explanation for the zit, the Hot Dog, the desire to sleep for hours on end, missing the gym (due to that exhaustion) and the reason I have basically dropped off the face of the planet for the last 6 weeks!!!
But as of yesterday- I seem to be feeling better. I even let JT sleep in today while I woke up with the kids! (the first time in 2 months)
If you do the math- that puts Riley and Blake about 22 months apart and Blake and Baby #3 about 19 months apart! This may also be the definition of INSANITY! At least the baby will be here before we move away to school and while you can all come bring us yummy dinners and help watch my kids! wink wink!
As far as names (which I know is the next question) since I don't know the sex- I have not even thought past the endearing name "Baby #3". I do know that I should not involve Riley in this decision. Last week she decided to name a pink bear and apparently she heard a commercial in the background that inspired her to name the bear "Zyrtec"!!!
Now many of you are thinking to yourself that because I am due on March 5 that Aleisa must be due on April 5 :) sorry guys, this time we forget to send them the memo to start trying exactly 4 weeks after us!! (like they did with their other babies) The same goes for Heidi-- although I DID try to get her to join the baby club and have her's 6 weeks after mine (just like her other babies) but apparently according to Jarod (and much to my surprise) HE and Heidi are in charge of their baby planning- not ME and Heidi!
Oh well guys, I guess there is always Baby #4!!
(just kidding just kidding just kidding! No plans for a baby #4!!!!)
Congrats!!! I'm due March 6th. We can be pregnant buddies (p.s. Hot dogs have also sounded super delicious to me. Particularly the really terrible ones with cheese running through the middle. Yum)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! 7-11 hot dogs were my thing when I was pregnant with Ryan. With all the gooey cheese on top. :-P
ReplyDeleteCongrats you guys!! March is a good month (Jenna's bday) :) That is hilarious about Riley's bear "Zyrtec"! It'd be fun just to hear what names she would like to name baby #3!!
ReplyDeleteYAY for posting this. One day I will sit down with you and we will together go up against your computer to make it work for you and your pictures!! Sorry about not wanting to get pregnant at this time. But, I will be available for all sorts of yummy treats, dinner, and babysitting!! I am with Lindsey...I think we should allow Riley to give her opinion on names.
ReplyDeleteOh, and of course...I am SO excited for you guys!
ReplyDeleteYippee! I'm so excited for you can't wait to find out what you're having! Oh, and I feel inclined to say that I have NEVER craved hot dogs while pregnant. One word: heartburn. Ugh. Oh, and I wish I could say the one time I got a zit it meant I was pregnant! Lucky! :oP
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Katie! That is so exciting!!
ReplyDeleteI just hear yesterday! tHAT'S SO EXCITING! I love costco hot dogs...just remember the costco sized pack of zantac before :) You sound lots like us- kyle and sadie are 25 mon apart and Sadie and zach are 15....also we had the kids help thing of names too. They would come up with one and we'd tell them if we liked it or not, and some we considered. Sadie told me the names i wanted were ugly :) she really wanted Serena and wouldn't let it go for awhile :) it was fun to have them think up some though
ReplyDeleteYAY that is fabulous! I'm super excited to hear all about it.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you commented on my blog! I'm totally going to link to yours so I can blog stalk you. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I'm so glad you are feeling better. Hang in there!
Wow! Hey this is Amanda Hadley found you through rach yeah! Congrats on baby #3 that is sooo exciting.
ReplyDeleteI totally forgot to mention that we need to get together very soon. Also chad is applying to PA school this fall/winter. Wonder if were maybe going to any of the same places hmmm...
ReplyDeletecongrats! That is so exciting!
ReplyDeleteYay!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so exciting! I haven't checked your blog in a couple of days and what you are have another baby. That is awesome. You are a great mom that will be fun.
ReplyDeleteZyrtec -- that is the funniest thing I've heard all day. Be careful or you will end up with a kid named Cialis. I miss you!
ReplyDeleteYAY! Baby #3! I love my baby #3. I do think that having your babies that close is a little insane, but if anyone can smile and just do it, it would be you. Reading your whole thing about hot dogs and all the comments started making me a little nauseated - I guess that means I'm not pregnant. Thank goodness the zit thing isn't an indication that I'm pregnant either. I would have 100 babies by now, with another 100 on the way if that were the case. I'm so glad you finally decided you could share. I'm not a very good secret keeper! That was hard work. Congrats!
