On April 1, I took a pregnancy test. It was a clear positive reading, but I didn't want to tell anyone that day in fear that they would think it was an April Fool's joke. Chris was out of town for the week so I kept my little secret until he came home. Since it was close to Easter, I found an Easter egg and put a little note inside of it that said, "There's another egg in the basket coming in December!" Chris was just as excited as I was. We tried telling Eli, but he doesn't understand just yet.
I went to the doctor once I was at 10 weeks. Doctor said everything looks good and baby is doing great. I went back for my 14 week appointment last week and the heartbeat was at 156. My old wives' tales are pointing me towards a girl, but will have to wait until mid-July to find out.
We told our parents around Mother's Day, as that seemed most appropriate. Both sides are very excited about a new grandchild. It just so happened that my sister-in-law (my older brother's wife) is expecting too and on the same day as me! What a wonderful surprise.
Every day it becomes a bit more real that our family of three will be a family of four by the end of the year. God has blessed us with another child and we are grateful for this opportunity to be parents again.

I am so excited for all of you! It will be a fun Christmas with more babies. I can't wait to find out the gender and of course the name! Love you!
ReplyDeleteWe are so excited too! Nothing better than more babies running around and cousins making lifelong friends. Love you too!
