Getting Prepared for #3

We have been thinking a lot about bringing another new baby into our home. And since we have to go to the doctors to get pregnant, we have to prepare a little bit more than the average couple. I have to get a prescription to be taken at the beginning of the cycle and take tests to make sure exactly when I ovulate. When I ovulate, I call both the fertility place and my OB's office to make appointments for the next day. Travis goes to the fertility place first and then later we go to my OB's office for the IUI. Thankfully we have only had to do it the one time for both girls. Basically though, you pretty much have to pick a month and do it. There is no spontaneity to it. It is definitely, very much planned. I usually bounce some ideas of when to do it around in my head and then Trav's and then see how good I feel about it. This time I thought about November. I would be due in August so Trav would still be home for a couple of weeks before he started school again and we would be slow at work when I had to go back so it wouldn't be that hard at first. I felt really good about it and just planned on doing it in November. Then a few months ago, Travis suggested that we not wait that long. I asked him why he thought so and if he was getting some inspiration that I wasn't. He just said he thought we should go in earlier. I asked him how much earlier and he said the next month!!! Haha!! I said I would compromise and go a little earlier but not that much!!! So, October it was going to be!! LOL!!! Well, Heavenly Father truly does have a sense of humor!! He took matters into His own hands and surprise......we are expecting!!! The natural way!!! I was so shocked but I knew before that stick turned positive at the same time. I guess Travis was listening to the spirit more than I was. I know this baby is supposed to be here right at this time. I have no doubt about that. So, normally I'm a little more prepared because I usually have been waiting for so long before it happens but I guess we are going to have to be prepared whether we are ready or not!! It took awhile to really believe that I was pregnant.

This helped:-)

My OB just casually said, "yup, you got a baby in there." I'm due on April 25th and am 13 weeks and 1 day along! And either this is a boy or I really don't like getting pregnant the natural way because I have felt like CRAP!!! I never threw up with the girls and only got nauseous while brushing my teeth. I am just barely feeling a little more normal now. I have been completely exhausted and I don't really have any motivation to do anything. Plus, I'm already huge! I'm hoping it's just because it's my third:) I'm also craving everything that I happen to see:) If I see something on tv that sparks my attention, I have to have it!! I just need the suggestion of something to crave it. I saw my coworker eating a tomato and I ate so many tomatoes after that. So weird. (Now my weird facebook status awhile ago of eating a tomato and chocolate makes more sense now:) Anyway, we are so excited and my wonderful hubby keeps me going. He makes me feel pretty even though I feel gross. I think he really likes me prego:) We can't wait to meet this special little spirit that had to be here right at this time!
