So this is the big happening in our little world.  I am 17 weeks pregnant with baby #3.  I didn't realize that that was what was going on until I was 11 weeks pregnant.  I had felt nauseous (which I didn't feel with either of my other kids) but it was around the same time my kids had the stomach flu.  It was when my emotions were going a bit haywire that I thought about taking a pregnancy test...and sure enough it was positive.  You could have knocked my husband over with a light gust of wind.  You see, this wasn't OUR plan. We were going to wait at least another year for several reasons...but God always has a great way of changing our plans to His plans.  We are excited.  To add to our exciting news...we found out today that we are going to be having a little boy.

Funny being pregnant with the third baby. There are certain things that just don't get old.  I have had two ultrasounds and it is still so fun to see that little growing being.  I'm really excited about the baby part.  You know the tiny little person that smells so sweet.  There are a few things that have lost some of their glamor...or perhaps never were glamorous to start with...the gaining of weight, the heartburn, the exhaustion, and then there is always the anticipation of the actual giving of birth...sorry their isn't anything amazing about the actual birth to this girl.

....so that is where we are at...I promise every post from here on out won't be about the pregnancy...and I won't be showing any belly shots...that's just not my bag.

A of all, EXCITED FOR YOU! B of all, you just became my favorite pregnant person ever. I can't tell you how excited I am to share in your joy and not have to simultaneously be bombarded with how many centimeters dialated you are, and a weekly belly pic ;)

Congratulations! I will live vicariously through all people with three children. Too scared to do it myself.

Congrats Tara! So happy for you guys! I have to say that I agree with you about the birth-giving process (and I haven't even done it yet!) Sounds painful, exhausting, and generally undesirable to me. Some day, my time will come though!
