Round 3!

Yes, I'm pregnant with baby #3! It was definitely a big surprise when we found out. I will spare you the details of my ultra fertile reproductive system, but let's just say we thought we were preventing pregnancy from happening! I got an ultrasound when I was about 8 1/2 weeks to determine my due date since I had no idea how far along I was at the time. I will be having a December baby! December 3rd is the date. So many exciting changes for our family! My next post will be an update on our move to Hilliard in about 3 weeks. Such a busy time in our lives!
I'm almost 13 weeks along, and this is the first week I haven't been feeling nauseous 24-7. By far the worst sickness I've had with any pregnancy. Hoping the sickness will be gone for good in the next week or so. I definitely have mixed emotions about this pregnancy. When we found out I was pregnant, I was both happy and sad. I wanted to wait a little longer till the next one, just so I could have a break from pregnancy and breastfeeding for once! For the past 4 years the cycle has been pregnant for 9 months, breastfeeding for a year, and as soon as I'm done nursing, pregnant again! I do love being pregnant (when I'm not sick), and of course love being a mom! I'm just kind of sad because this is more than likely my last pregnancy and I want to enjoy every minute of it. Pregnancy is such a miracle and I can't ever be upset about God blessing me with a growing baby inside even if it wasn't exactly our timing! I'm just so thankful I can have kids. My heart hurts for those women who can't bear children. I was also nervous when I found out I was pregnant, because I thought I had a good chance of miscarrying. I had a miscarriage before Adeline and one in between Adeline and Ryder. I've read that miscarriages can be a pattern and so far with me it had been every other pregnancy. When I got the ultrasound and saw the baby and heard the heartbeat I felt much better. It wasn't until I got done with the first trimester, that I felt like I didn't have to worry so much about losing the baby. I still worry of course about a healthy baby and delivery, but I know all pregnant women do!
I told Matt we shouldn't find out the sex of the baby since we have both girl and boy items, but he said there is no way he can wait that long to find out! So we should find out beginning/middle of July. I want to do something exciting, like have the ultrasound tech write on a paper the sex and put it in an envelope, and then later that day have our family over to open and announce it. I really just want to make this pregnancy exciting and enjoy every moment of it since, like I said before, it is probably our last.
It's so crazy to think that by the end of the year we will be a family of 5! I'm feeling so thankful for all that God  has blessed us with and for the many exciting changes ahead!
