GUESS WHAT??


Yup, thats right. Cats outta the bag. Im pregnant! Holy Moly! Before you ask (because everyone has) yes, we were trying, and no this was no oops. That said, we are still surprised it happened this quickly. Were very excited. Im due about April 3rd. Hoping for a scheduled C section on April 1st. I have my Christmas baby, maybe I can have an April Fools baby too! Im a little over 2 months now, still very early. We are going to find out the sex, should be able to do that the end of October. Ryan and this baby will be a whopping 14 1/2 months apart! It seems we go from one extreme to another, 11 years between the first 2 and 14 months between 2 and 3! Zachary will be 12 years apart from this baby, kinda cool cuz my mom and aunt were 12 years apart. This pregnancy seems to be different than the last 2. Im very moody and hormonal, and Im more sick than I have been before. With the boys I had virtually no morning sickness. I shouldn't complain, I dont have it that much, but its defiantly more apparent than it has been before. Sometimes nausea, sometimes dizziness and being woozy. I dont know if that means a girl, I dont really care as long as he/ she is healthy and happy. Im already starting to show, I know that sounds insane but I am. The baby is only the size of a strawberry but my innards are already stretched out from Ryan. So my uterus is already up to my damn elbows! Doc said that was going to happen with the pregnancies being so close together. Were just now telling our family's. I have told a few people at work but Im not going to announce it there till I hit 12 weeks. So keep that hush hush Mary Jo! The pic above is how we told my father in law. We had him over for spaghetti and this is the plate he got. Unfortunately, he didnt get it. So we had to spell it out (no pun intended!)

Yay!! It's official!! I'm "rooting" for a girl, only because you need some estrogen in that house!! But, all in all, I hope for a happy, healthy baby! You guys are so damn clever in the ways you tell people! I guess there's nothing original about me telling everyone, "Hey..I'm pregnant!" (I'm not! Just saying how it went in the past!)

Congratulations!!!

Mary Jo I wish I could say your right about the work thing (see comments under 7th grade) but unfortunatly I will only be taking 8 weeks off this time. Were still trying to catch up from when I took so much time off, so thats not an option.
MMMMMM shrimp cassarole and strawberry cheesecake at the hospital! Thats all I keep thinking about! Oh, did I forget to mention that Im STARVING all the time? I need to go have a snack now!
