*: Expecting Baby #3!!!!

Mike and I found out on January 29th that we are expecting our 3rd child! This is very unexpected to us since we were planning on trying for #3 this summer! For me, I have to have everything planned down to the wire and I think this might be why God decided he would let our 3rd child come early :)

Two days prior to finding out about my pregnancy I went and got my hair colored. I choose an all brown color and for some reason my hair turned half red, half brown!! Weird I know!! Not thinking anything of it, I simply said I would call to have it redone :) The next night we all went to my mother.in.laws house to visit since Karrie was in town with her boYs and because we hadn’t seen Kathy or Ron in awhile. When Karrie looked at my hair she said “you’re not pregnant are you??” I said NO!! We aren’t even trying!! I left that night with that comment pondering in my head to the point of “Oh My Gosh….what if I am??” I went to work the next morning with it still bothering me and told my co-workers about it! They thought that couldn’t be, but if it bothered me so much to go buy a test. Oh yeah…I was on the pill!!

After work that’s exactly what I did! I bought a couple tests and simply thought, “Well, this will come up negative and reassure me that everything’s fine!” What I didn’t expect is that the line was starting to appear to say I was pregnant! Let me tell you what a HUGE SHOCK that was!! Mike thought that since the line was really faint that I wasn’t pregnant, but I told him you can’t have a false positive! I went to the doctor to get confirmation, and they told me without a doubt I was pregnant and that I was early in the pregnancy!!

I am due October 11th, 2009!! This is about 6 months earlier than “planned”, but God wants us to have this baby earlier and for that I am sooo excited and honored to be pregnant! Knowing that I am carrying OUR child is simply aMaZinG and I cannot put into words everything that I am feeling!!

Johnathon understands what’s going on but Karson just gives me the deer in the headlight look :) I still am in shock and I don’t think it will absolutely hit me until we go to the doctor on February 25th!! I just hope that we will be able to hear the heartbeat! Life is going to become quite interesting and that much more busy, but I am sooo ready and excited to have another baby :)
