We have some big news...and I'll give you 3 guesses to guess the news...okay that was a waste of guesses, because you guessed it on the first try, WE'RE MOVING, again!!! HAHA...Just kidding (man I'm a jokester tonight), you were right the first time. YES, WE'RE GONNA HAVE ANOTHER BABY!!! Man, I'm corny...haha...but it's true, and we do have another little 'junior' on the way!
So, I can't really say we were shocked, but at the same time we are a little surprised. Ever since Kaysen was born, we had been thinking about taking measures to prevent another pregnancy, but I refused to take birth control because it gives me terrible side effects, so we thought about an IUD, but I dreaded the whole procedure, so we just didn't do anything. Plus, I had been nursing Kaysen for a full year, so I didn't think my chances were very high during that time and we tried to watch the calendar a bit to prevent things further, but in January, when I quit nursing Kaysen, I decided we needed to do something a little more than just relying on the calendar. Well, when I finally made up my mind in February, I called the doctor and scheduled an IUD. Lucky for me I live in an over-populated city (at least for the ratio of doctors to people) and it's a 2 1/2 month wait to get into the OB, so we had to schedule an appointment and wait until clear til May 7th to get in. Well, wouldn't you know it, we found out on May 7th that we are going to have another baby! Luckily I was at my appointment already and so instead of getting my 5year birth control put in, I got sent home with a "Welcome To Motherhood" (again) bag!
Anyways, baby #4 is due on January 15th (3 days before Kaysen's 2nd Birthday), which means the doctor will probably schedule my c-section for the end of December...right in time for another tax write-off. Yeah!!! haha! (For those of you wondering why I am delivered so early, it's because I'm Type 1 Diabetic so my pregnancies are high risk and my babies can also get pretty big if I'm not SUPER careful, so the doctor usually delivers me as soon as it is safe, which is usually at 37 weeks.)
So this is our big news and today I'm officially 6 weeks along. And YES, I know I'm just barely starting, but I'm so bad at keeping this kind of news secret and I just want everybody to know and share in our happiness! :)
And here are Jason's famous first words when he found out: "What is it with us and these winter babies???" (Bretten is November, Jaylee is December, and Kaysen is January)
Okay, totally bad and cheesey picture of me, but it's all I had to document it, so just ignore my gross cheesey face and messy hair please!
