The Rest of the Story

We had actually been trying for several months when I found out that I was pregnant, so it wasn't a complete surprise. I had started to give up though, so I wasn't really expecting it to happen. In fact, I had told Chris that I was about to start, so that's why he was so surprised. I was a couple days late, but felt pms-ish. But this time, I figured out the difference. That pregnancy fog. Took a test while texting a friend, sent her a pic, and she's the one who helped me come up with a fun way to tell Chris. Every other time, we found out together by looking at the stick. I only kept it from Chris for a few days - it was really hard. I tell him EVERYTHING.

So Amanda invited us over for a Labor day dinner so Chris suspected nothing when we started the dessert. Adam was "trying out" our video camera to capture his expression. The cookies read: #4 baby (that was the pink one I ate), #1 dad of 6 (Amanda got a little confused on that one - well, I sure HOPE there aren't triplets), & 5-24-11 (due date). She had regular flower cookies to give to everyone else, so that it would be obvious to Chris that his were different, but I think she got a little too excited and give him his first. They, too, are trying to have a #4, so that's why Chris was a little confused.

Other stuff

• Ben will be 2 yrs plus a couple months (this is the furthest apart we've had kids)
• This is the LAST ONE. I might would like more, but 5 c-sections aren't good on a body.
• I'm preparing myself for another boy. Let's face it. It's a big possibility.
• We haven't told the kids. "They" recommend you await because nine months is a long time for them to understand.
• I keep forgetting. I'll start feeling queasy and think, "I wonder why I . . . OH yeah"
• We already have the other half of a bunk bed for Ca's bed, so that's where Z will go. We're going to do quite a bit of room swaping, so that the nursery can stay the nursery.
• Only 4 more years of diapers!
• I'm 5 1/2 weeks, even though this nurse try to convince me that I'm 3 1/2 weeks. Someone really need to explain to her how they calculate it. I tried, but she just kept trying to explain it to me. Lady, I've done this a few times. I get it!
