Wow...time flies

Sorry I haven't posted ANYTHING here in SO long. I had such high hopes for this to be my venting ground about wanting baby #3, but I guess I have a pretty good support group of ladies who helped me with this.

That being said, I can say BABY #3 is ON THE WAY!!! And...man...I feel terrible. I am due on August 4th, 2009. I have been SICK, SICK, SICK, since 5 weeks. YUCK. Last week it got so bad that my midwife called in some anti-nausea meds for me that they use for Chemotherapy and Radiation patients. They have definitely helped, but I still feel gruddy. I guess Nicholas spoiled me by not making me sick. I pretty much ate what I wanted. The nurse I talked to last week is predicting this IS my daughter "because sometimes girls just don't get along" and they make their mom's sick. LOL. Let's hope so.

I am not sure if I posted about us trying Dr. Shettle's theory to try for a girl this time, but we did and I think our timing was pretty good...2.5 days before O. I honestly was shocked that we got PG the first month again. I thought this was going to take longer...and actually was counting on that, so I wouldn't be sick for the Holidays. Don't get me wrong, I'm VERY happy to be so lucky in getting pregnant. We are truelly blessed. I just can't wait until I feel better.

So, my big problem is how to tell my family. I know this will sound TERRIBLE, but I fear my parents aren't going to be all happy about this. They are the type of people that are always practical and frugal and make the smart choice. Clearly in the current economy, having a baby now may not be the "smartest" thing to do, but DAMN, tell my heart that. I have to admit I'm a little nervous about money, but I've already got childcare figured out...YAY for Jacob starting Kindergarten in September.

Anyway, I want them to be happy for us. DH has been AWESOME, I must say. With the first two pregnancies he left something to be desired, but he has really grown up since we had Jacob. He has been very supportive, since I've been sick, which is such a relief. It is SO hard to chase my boys while I feel like I've been run over by a truck. Honestly, it feels like a mild case of the flu, but it stays and stays and stays.
