Our Newest Adventure

So over the last many weeks, I've had lots of "strange" feelings. I've been tired, needing to go to the bathroom alot, crying, and my awesome flat tummy has just looked off. You think "DUH, you're pregnant!" I think, "well my last two babies were thanks to fertility drugs, so there is no possible way I'm pregnant since I haven't taken any fertility drugs lately." Well since I have been pregnant before, I realized enough of these symptoms felt like pregnancy and finally I broke down and took a pregnancy test and sure enough....Baby Ward #3 is on it's way!!!!!!

This also explains all of Isabelle's comments about a baby sister. Obviously we don't know what it is yet, but when we told Isabelle we were having a baby, she immediately responded, "YEAH! My baby sister is coming!!!!" She continues to ask "How's my baby sister growing today?" "My baby sister...." etc. We keep telling her it could be a brother, to which she looks at us completely dumbfounded, "No, it's going to be my sister." It will be funny if it really is a girl.

I got to go to the doctor yesterday morning for my first appointment, but didn't get an official due date. We were going to go back in next week for an ultrasound to double check, but after the accident, they wanted to check me out and they ended up doing an ultrasound after all. I'm 14 weeks and due Sept 11th. We got some cute pictures on the ultrasound. One of them is the baby waving at us. You can see all five little fingers. When we showed them to Isabelle, she said, "My baby sister is so cute!!!" She keeps bringing the hand picture and saying, "Look how cute her hand is!" It's really funny.

The look on Mike's face was priceless when I told him. I wish I had a camera ready. He has been in denial, despite my growing belly, until yesterday when he heard the heartbeat and then again for the ultrasound.

It's a weird picture, but you get the idea, I'm getting big quick. I guess that's what happens by your 3rd! We are so excited for this little miracle baby to join our family!!!!

Wow! Surprise! How fun is that? We've never had a surprise before. I think I would cry, but hopefully in a good way :)

Glad your car accident wasn't worse!

It's probably a girl. Isabelle would know, right?
