Time flies!

Wow, I can't believe it's been 2 weeks since I've posted. What have I been doing? LOL, alot can be said for that. Well for one, I now know why I was so tired when I wrote that last post. The day after, I found out I am PREGNANT! Yes, having another baby. One year after my 2nd one.

We were shocked! I mean really shocked. With the previous two, we were planning. I was temping, counting days to ovulation, looking at cervical mucous, etc. The whole kit and kaboodle. When I tested before, I knew the stick would turn pink just based on what my body had been telling me. This time around, I wasn't even paying attention to my body. We weren't trying. I wasn't on any BC but we were using condoms. I knew that the week after my cycle, we were good. Usually about half way through the 2nd week we would wrap things up until the next week after. It had been working for a year now so I don't know what happened. Maybe hubs had some super sperm that stayed alive for a few days or I ovulated early. Whatever, it was not what we were planning.

We're happy now, we just weren't prepared. I'm turning 3o this July and I was so excited about being able to have a big shindig and wear a fabulous dress or outfit and just have a whole weekend to celebrate the beginning of my next decade! NOPE, not gonna happen now. I mean I'm happy about it but I'm also kinda bummed. We were really going to start trying this winter only because that's what we've always done. I'm used to having spring/summer babies. I'm still bugging that I'm going to have some winter kids. And yes, I did pluralize kids because I was praying that my husband would change his mind about us having more kids (he said we were done with two) and I also was asking for 2 more (boy & girl) so I could have 2 of each. So since I was surprised about this pregnancy and his mind was changed for him, I shan't be surprised about twins! *We'll see*

Anyhoo, the story goes I was playing last Wednesday morning with the guys in our weekly football game. Not doing too bad but not at all thrilled about being out there. During the game, I'm noticing that I have a little heartburn/indigestion going on so I'm thinking of what could have caused this. I didn't have anything spicy the night before or eat too late so what could be causing this. Then I thought, shoot, that's the first symptom I had with the other two. Panic now begins to set in. I cannot be pregnant, can I? I'm counting back and then realize that my period should've been here 2 weeks ago. I'm not regular but it shouldn't have taken this long to come. I have been extremely tired and out of sorts but I was just thinking that I needed a break. I remembered that I had a dollar store test in the cabinet and decide to just test to east my mind because I just know that my period should be here at any time.

I get home and go straight to take a shower. Well run the water so I can open the box without questions from hubs just in case he's listening, lol. I sit down, breathe deep and pee. Before I can even finish peeing and put the test down to simmer, the line is PINK! You've got to be kidding me. I'm breathing fast, I'm sweating and it's not even hot, I'm shaking. What in the world is hubs going to say? I quickly jump in the shower to give myself some time to think. How did this happen? What day did I calculate wrong? Are we ready for another one? I'll definitely have to quit my job now. Are we going to stay in El Paso? 20 questions are running through my head. After about 15 min of thinking, I decide to finally wash and get out. No use in running, it's gotta be tackled.

I get dressed and then walk out. Everyone is up and eating and I pass hubs the test. I have my hand closed and he gives me the fist bump. I say nope, open up. He questions it, lol, as if he's never seen one before. I reassure him, it's as real as they come! He flounders on the floor for a minute and then for the next 45 min we try to grasp the big picture. I'm not even thinking about work. Needless to say, we are in a fog all day!

So a week later, it has all sunk in. I'm feeling great! No issues. A little nausea if I'm not eating on time and I lose consciousness every night when my head hits the pillow. We've told our families and I guess the 3rd pregnancy is just not as exciting, lol. I mean they were happy but there were not a lot of questions this time around. We will have to purchase a vehicle. The 4runner will not hold 3 car seats across. I'm almost tempted to give up the mini-van fight but hubs is against it and I'll take a Tahoe (if we can get it for a good price!). Don't know where that cash will come from but we don't want to incur a car note because we haven't had one in almost 2 years. You can get used to that freedom really quickly. All in all, I'm about to be the mother of a small tribe, lol. I've always wanted to be a wife and mom but I really have to let go of my day job. I cannot do all of these jobs well and at 100% because it's just too much to ask of one person. My desire is to stay at home at least until the kids all get into school. I still want to finish my Master's before my 7 year time limit is up. Choices, choices, choices...more to come.
