And you thought you would have to drag it out of me

Shocking this would be a hard post for me to write, but maybe it's time that I come out in the open and freely admit that I am jumping on the bandwagon. I guess it would be more accurate to say that I am being thrown on the bandwagon, because I didn't really plan it this way. That being said, yes, we are expecting our third child. And none too soon, little Brielle will be 4 next March. I never planned to have such a big gap. But then I've never been able to plan anything in my life.

Time has flown by a lot faster than expected, mostly because I wasn't paying any attention to the timing, or any significant events that would tell me when I was due. So at the ultrasound yesterday, it was quite a shock when the baby was measuring almost a month earlier than I initially thought. I just thought I was getting really fat. The midwife estimated that I was about 17 weeks along, which would put my due date about Feb. 16. (Sorry Brooke, I didn't mean to). But who knows, it could change again. I'm just along for the ride. Sorry guys, I didn't mean to keep it a secret for so long, I just don't like talking about myself.

So there you go, you are the second person I have told so far (most people in my family heard it from someone else).

Congratulations, Emily! I am so thrilled for you. My third baby was such a good little thing. May yours be as well.

Emily said...

Oh I knew I was pregnant, I just thought I was 12 weeks along.

Sure, go ahead and blame Kelly for letting the cat out of the bag...in all reality you acting so weird is what tipped me off...and besides you need someone to push you into the limelight occasionally. ;) Besides, you need to stand proud with the bump...you only get it for around 5months anyway. With 3 kids that is only 15 months out of your life that you get to stand proud and strong with a bump. Embrace it! Now, if we can just get you to get one of those floating baby widgets!
We are soooo excited for you! We can't wait to meet him or her sooner than we all thought. YIPEEEE! LOVE YOU!

It's ok Em, you don't have to apologize :) My midwife moved me back 10 days from march 16 to march 26. so i just passed 13 weeks. At least being a month or so apart will give mom some time to get to both of us. Hope you are doing well and like your new midwife. love you.
