Why? Becuase we are having a 3rd kid! AHHHHHhhh. That's right, I am pregnant. 11 1/2 weeks. My official due date Nov. 4th, but since I have to have a c-section, the baby will be here the end of October. It sounded like a good idea to have 3 kids, but the moment I took the test, I have been mostly terrified. I try not to focus on the idea that we are going to have a 3 1/2 year old, 22 month old and a newborn or the fact that by the time I am done nursing this one, I will have been nursing, pregnant, or both (without a break) for about 5 1/2 years.
We told Macy yesterday and I don't think she fully understands but she seems happy. I am been feeling good, although there were a couple weeks at the beginning that I felt awlful. The doctor says everything looks good and I have had an ultrasound and got to hear the heartbeat. I had great pregnancies with Macy and Charlie, so please pray that we have a healthy pregnancy and baby this time around as well.
We are excited, mostly terrified, but we are excited!

Congratulations!
Welcome to the "officially insane" club! We're so happy for you!!!
Wow, I'm glad I checked your blog! Congrats!! I will be praying for you--and yes you are insane! :) I always wanted to have several kids, but now I think that by the time I start to have kids, and then I don't want them too close together for the insanity factor, I may only end up with a couple. Keep me updated!!
Oops, I published before I finished writing. :) As I was saying...
Congratulations. My sisters and I are about the same ages apart and I really like having siblings so close in age. I hope the pregnancy continues to go well!
Congratulations!! Don't freak out now...you'll have plenty of time to do that after the baby is born :)
