True or Not True... That is the Question

So I don't know why I struggle telling people about something as great as a new baby but I do. I always have even with my first and it just gets a little harder, don't know why! But yes I have a belly that can no longer hide the fact that baby number three is on the way, and... it is another boy! I really wanted another boy but didn't think my chances of having three boys all at once were that good.

(I picked the picture my belly looked the smallest in. Already my back is starting to arch from the added weight in the belly making me look twice as big when my posture is poor, so this is the good posture stance making my bump look smaller than at other times:)

Today I'm 18 weeks along and look like I did with Jared at 28 weeks, oh well, I guess my body knows what it's doing and does it a lot easier with each baby. Because of concerns with an earlier ultra sound we were able to have another ultra sound at 15 weeks. We peeked at the baby and his boy parts have definitely sprouted:) Some other good news was the excess blood that was shown in the earlier ultra sound had cleared and I'm now good to do all the normal things as before. Good thing too cause I needed to start exercising again! (I was never really worried, it was only a small amount but I guess enough to check back up on and be more careful).

So now that my energy levels are back up and my apetite more normal I can once again more fully enjoy life! I'm just not ready to get this belly that I already feel is getting in the way. Oh, and I felt him move last week for the first time. He's still not big enough to feel on the outside but I know it was him:) The official due date is Sept. 3rd according to the ultra sounds but according to my calculations it's the 7th so I'm trying to keep that date in my mind cause I've come late with both boys so maybe even the 9th (wouldn't that be fun 09/09/09).


I'm really excited, overwhelmed, and grateful for this new addition. It's all true and really happening, YIKES!!!!! Wish us luck:)

We're Expecting....

April Fools!!!!

Right as I was getting ready to put the boys down for their naps today I thought about giving Chris a scare. Before today I had often dropped hints that there's no way to know if we are pregnant or not. There's times when I psyche myself out thinking I'm feeling the way I did when I was pregnant and therefore psyche Chris out as well.

I decided to have my friend that was pregnant take a pregnancy test for me. I made sweet and sour chicken which I hardly ever make. I set the table and used the cloth napkins rolling the test in Chris' napkin and holding it together with a ring. I got Chris to open it up by asking him to show Jared how to use a napkin. It fell on the floor and he looked down and kept saying, "Are you serious!" over and over again. I wish I had the camera on from the beginning but got a few camera shots and then switched to video mode. I got three different videos and will just post all of them:)

I first told him April fools and then a little later said I was serious and made up the story to make him think April fools but in reality I was serious. Poor guy. I loved it though:)

Sorry for the delay, I had to use you tube to finally get it to work.
