Baby #3

*WARNING, this post contains TMI*

I know, I know.  It has been said and written here on the blog that we are done having kids and two was good and enough for us...

Let me set the stage for you:

January 2013!  We go out to Lunch with Mike's mom for his birthday.  We are talking about heirlooms and I said to her, that I wouldn't have a daughter to pass on something that she wanted to pass on to me, but that maybe I could give it to one of my son's wives or something to pass it on, and my Mother-in-Law said, "you never know, you could still have a girl."  And while she was saying that I was thinking, no, I won't have a girl because we are done having kids.  Then on Sunday at church in our class I was holding my friends little girl while she was getting some stuff out of her bags, and Mike was having a field day with her, playing with her and loving on her.  That night our friends came over to the house to bring us cookies, and Mike got out their little girl and was cooing her and playing with her and my friend said something about "Maybe you will have a girl next," and Mike was like, you never know.  And again, I am thinking, what is going on here? We are done having kids....  Then on Monday I went to work and my coworker started asking me questions about am I sad that my baby is almost 2, and how they lose that baby smell and that triggers something in the parents about wanting a new baby.  I told her I was okay, and that we had decided we were done.  After that conversation, I decided it was time to talk to Mike about it.  Where was all this baby talk coming from? We talked and he said he thought there was another baby up there for us.  I was shocked.  We had sold a lot of our baby stuff!  So we decided to take a couple days and decide if this was what we both wanted.  We then decided I needed to get my IUD out.  The day that I got my IUD out, there was a lot of mixed emotions.  Mike and I were both freaking out.  I was freaking out so bad, my Dr. even said he wouldn't take it out because he was worried I was freaking out.  Well, I got it out.  We then decided that we would protect and go from there.  If I hadn't gotten pregnant by the time I turned 31 we would go get the IUD back in and call it good.  In February we even decided that we weren't going to try, we put so much pressure on ourselves and we both just felt so much better letting it go.  We went to the Temple in February to see if we could get an answer, but neither of us received anything, so we just moved on with life.

Fast forward to April, I haven't started yet, and since I got my IUD out I had been regular.  I bought a Pregnancy test but Mike kept saying, you are fine, we are not pregnant, you are going to start next week.  Sure enough I did start the next week.  Then May comes.  I still have the unused pregnancy test and it is in the back of my mind.  I though I was supposed to start on the 21st of May, but upon further examination I should have started on the 14th.  I thought that I wouldn't take the test until June 1st to give my body plenty of time to start, but I was having all these weird things happen...My stomach was bloated feeling, I was nauseated, my cravings have been crazy, having to pee all the time, just all these crazy things happening.  So, just out of the blue on Thursday the 23rd I decided to use that pregnancy test and see what happens.  It was a + - one and it literally changed right to +.  So then the real freak out begun.  We took another pregnancy test on Friday (A digital one) and of course it came up (Pregnant!).  So here we are.  Pregnant with baby #3.  I guess we are ready for another wild ride on this journey!
