I'm sure some of you have wondered or maybe my skills at deception have been perfected... YES, I'm pregnant!
I had just finished nursing Michael in February and I just wasn't feeling right. I figured a year and a half of strictly nursing had made my body forget how to function so I gave it a couple of months. Even after those months past by, I was still SO tired, shaky and dizzy all of the time. I figured it was time to go see the doctor in April. I decided to see my OB first to get my girly stuff checked out then if he didn't see anything wrong, go see a regular doctor. He did all sorts of blood work, tests and questions. He left for a minute then came back in laughing. He said that what I have is nothing that wouldn't cure itself within 9 months! AHHH! Not prepared for that one!!! I called Cody and he had a similar reaction... how do you get pregnant when you haven't had a period in over two years? I have NO idea? The ultrasound confirmed it, I was 10 weeks pregnant!
I've let a few more months go by, just to be on the safe side. Then I thought it would be super fun to surprise everyone with the gender of the baby as well... Yesterday was the big day and I could hardly sleep waiting for morning to come. My appointment was at 9:15 but we got there at 9. Me and all my boys crowded this tiny room. The Doctor said he had some news - Good news is he didn't see any 'telephone poles' and with all the kicking it was doing, he's sure he would've seen something. The bad news is he wasn't seeing those 'two little lines'. The baby was breach so even with me poking my belly and the doctor searching, it was super hard to see anything in between it's modest little legs. Finally he spotted what he thought were those two lines! He said he can't give us 100%, but he's 90% sure we're having a girl! A GIRL!!! That's all I need to hear... I don't think Cody or I have stopped smiling since then. We have gone shopping and found some cute PINK outfits and tiny little ballet shoes! SO MUCH FUN!
Even if when I go back in a month the doctor changes his mind and tells me it's a boy, I will still be super excited for my 4th boy and cherish that month I had shopping and thinking I had my long awaited girl! But I'll hope that doesn't happen :)
Surprise everyone!!!
