Expecting the Unexpected

Most of my family knows already, but for all others, it's true from the title, I'm pregnant with my 3rd child. It was very unexpected. I'm going to try to be very honest with my feelings here, so bare with me. I actually cried for a week, I wasn't sure what to think or do about my new news. It's much closer than we hand planned for the next one to come. Caleb and this next little one will be 20 months apart , which for me is very close in age. I like the age difference with Kate and Caleb, I can handle that. After the initial shock of my news, I am now very excited. It's kind of strange how the Lord sort of gives you a heads up or a warning of things to come. It was very suttle this time, I don't think I was paying attention to well. A couple of weeks before I found out, Kate asked me do you have a baby in there, and I said do you know something I don't know. At the time it was depressing because I was still trying hard to loose the baby weight from Caleb. I didn't think much of it, then we were all walking at the park and the rest of the family had run ahead of me. I had time to ponder a little, which is rare as a busy mom of two now a days. I had a thought of what about another baby, you could handle it right. I quickly squashed that thought and move on, little did I know it was the Lord giving me a little head up of things to come. It's interesting how the Lord works sometime. I know without a doubt that this little one is suppose to be here at this time. There is also some personal aspects that I understand now that I will keep to myself. It takes me along time to get pregnant, the doctor says that's due to me having a tilted uterus, it sometimes can take longer to conceive. Well, that was not the case in this situation, and also the numbers don't add up. All you ladies out there know what I mean, ovulation dates, and the day you start things like that. I know without a doubt this little one is suppose to be here, even if I am not the most prepared or ready for it. I find comfort in knowing that the Lord will never give you more than you can handle. I am very excited to find out what it will be a boy or a girl, I doesn't really matter since I already have one of each. I am once again terribly sick with this child as well. I'm just not lucky in the morning sickness department. I went to the doctor yesterday and he gave me yet another nausea medicine to try. I was highly doubtful it would either make things worse or knock me out so I could take care of my two kids. He said this is the best stuff out there and It will not make you sleepy. Well I took it this morning and it seem to be working better than past medicines. I don't know sometimes I think it's better to just deal with the morning sickness stuff. Well the doctor gave me a due date of December 5th, but due to me having to have a c-sections said it most likely with be right after Thanksgiving sometime. They like to take c-section patients a week before there due date. Well there is my news I have been trying so hard not to tell. It's been difficult to teach singing time at church without not letting everyone see how sick I really did feel. Now I can just relax a little, and not try to act like I'm not sick, what a relief. Well there you have it I'm pregnant and I'm 9 1/2 weeks along!! Yeah we are all very excited and Kate can't hardly wait to have a new little sibling. She is already picking out names, to cute.
