Oh man friends, it's happening!!!
As I sit down to write this post I’m actually grinning and giggling at the same time. Partly because if I could have told myself four or five years ago to stop worrying, chill out - everything will be ok, you CAN and WILL get pregnant…(multiple times) that would have helped me immensely. I’m also giddy because my heart is just bursting and I do find it very interesting how life turns out. For those of you who don't know - this is actually our fourth pregnancy.
The short version of our story is that we were unable to conceive for two years. When we finally did, we lost our first born at the end of the first trimester. It was awful (totally debilitating for me) but we picked ourselves back up and started all over again. After another year of trying, we conceived Scarlet and I was the most paranoid pregnant woman on the face of the planet. After Scarlet was born, we thought - well we better get on the next one so it took so long to get our first - and then BAM! First month of trying - pregnant. Well, that basically happened with this third baby. We agreed we really wanted to have another child and we pulled the goalie so to speak, and WAMMO! First month of trying. So, things just happen for a reason I guess and it’s a totally beautiful thing. Someone once told me that if I hadn’t gone through the miscarriage, I wouldn’t have the current angel children that I do now and that has always really stuck with me.
We are so thrilled (and honestly terrified), but we are taking it one day at a time. The kids both knew we were pregnant before we did. (Here’s a freaky story). Scarlet was looking at me strangely in the eyes one morning and she said ‘Mommy, I think there is a baby in your tummy. Is there?’ and I answered ‘Ummmm, I’m not sure’. I turned to William and said, ‘What do you think William?’ He walked right up to me, lifted my shirt, pointed at my belly button and nodded his head up and down vigorously. They both toddled off into the other room talking and babbling about the ‘new baby’. It was still too early to take a pregnancy test so I waited a week and got an ‘early detector’ one and sure enough - the kids were right.
SUPER WEIRD!
We are due in May but knowing how my babies chill I wouldn’t be surprised if it was June.
I’ll be trying my be to do weekly pregnancy updates every Monday so check back if you’d like to see the progress and development of our third babe!
Just so you know - that is totally trippy to write ;)
Have a lovely Weekend Friends
XOXO
