We are venturing into the world of being a family of five! Sounds so crazy to say and even crazier to try and acknowledge :) I'll be 11 weeks on Thursday and am due on December 1st. I had an appointment and an ultrasound today and everything looks good so far. My thyroid is supressed, again, which is annoying and leads to blood draws at every visit, but it didn't go beyond that with Avery. I'm hoping for the same this time.
I am feeling so awesomely blessed. I'm going to have three kids! There's of course those moments of worry, especially given our history, but it's quickly blurred with excitement. In all honesty, I don't feel like I have much time to even think about it! Grayson and Avery are keeping me busy for sure. Yes, I will have 3 kids before my oldest turns 3. Yes, I might have three kids in diapers. Yes, Avery's still not sleeping through the night. Yes, I fall asleep every night at 8:00 and try to take a nap every day when G & A nap. Although all this is true, we couldn't be happier. This could very well be our last baby so I'm going to cherish every moment. Luckily, I've done this with all my babies so I'm well practiced :)
I'm really debating not finding out the gender this time around!?!?!? I severely lack in the patience departent and have loved finding out what we were having with my other pregnancies. That being said, I'm tempted by the moment of the Dr. announcing, "It's a ______!" When I was pregnant with Avery I had told Andy that maybe next time around we wouldn't find out. When I brought it up again he told me I was crazy! He knows how much I like to plan and doesn't think I'll be able to not find out. We'll see, I make no promises yet :)
We're just enjoying our news and praying for a healthy pregnancy. There shouldn't be any IUGR since Avery didn't have it, meaning it was something related only to Grayson's pregnancy, not something my body does everytime. I'm so excited to meet this baby in what seems like a million months away and to see if he or she looks like their siblings at all. So fun!

So exciting! I think you should wait to find out this time - you have boy stuff & girl stuff, so it's not like there is a TON of stuff to purchase this time around.
ReplyDeleteCongrats again!!!
YEA!! SO excited for you guys. I think you should wait to find out, it is seriously the best surprise in the world. I LOVED it with Jax and am even more excited that we don't know with this one. Especially because you have EVERYTHING you could need for a boy or girl. The hardest part is the 20 week ultrasound, each time I was in there I so just wanted to say "ok I changed my mind tell me what it is" but each time I held out and when it was over I was so glad I didn't know. Anyway, it is a long time to wait and not everyone likes the surprise but its a pretty dang good surprise! Hope your getting some rest, its been a long time since we have caught up! Take care.
ReplyDeleteSo, we found out with Emmalee and Henry and then with Clara we waited. It was fun to dream, playfully argue about names, and wait to hear those super words..."It's a _____". And then you can feel what we all feel..."that is exactly what I wanted," even though you would have said that no matter what. Hold out for this one. It's worth it and makes the dreaded end of the third pregnancy worth going through.
