Let me back up a bit. A few months ago, I took Evie to her normal appointment that we were going to every week. It was a normal day, nothing out of the unusual. When the appointment was over, the teacher came to talk with me and asked, "Do you have any exciting news to share?". I was dumbfounded, I had no idea what she was talking about so I told her "no". She laughed and told me that Evie had told her that I was going to have another baby. I told her there was no way that was possible and we just laughed it off. After dropping Evie off at school, I had a spare test so I thought, "Why not". I had almost forgotten I had taken the test, playing with Emma but looked back a few minutes later to find the word "Pregnant" on the test. What? How is that even possible? I was in complete shock and thought there has to be something wrong with the test. After taking at least twelve more tests over the week, they all came back positive to my disbelief. After a week past and I didn't miscarry, I made an appointment to see the doctor and it was confirmed. After three sonograms and baby measuring right on track, I think it's safe to say we're expecting baby number three! I never thought in my wildest dreams we would ever be presented with an unplanned pregnancy (although I did pray for it years ago), especially after doctors said it wouldn't happen without medical intervention but here we are. I'm 13 weeks now and have been sicker than a dog since week 5. I've lost around twelve pounds in the last six weeks, but doing my best to eat and drink when I can, even if it does just come right back up.
Evie is very excited about the baby and also knew the gender (we'll find out for sure if she's right soon). After Emma was born, she kept telling us she wanted us to have lots more babies. But we're pretty certain after this one is born, that will be it. Don't think my body/stomach/sanity can handle another pregnancy with 3 kiddos running around. And of course, Emma has no clue that her life is going to forever change in six months. So this will be very interesting to see how this all plays out with Emma and this baby only being 20 months apart.
Now that I think I've finally have come out of shock over this surprise, we are so excited and I'm already head over heels in love with him/her. Looking forward to meeting this little bean in six months.
