Christmas Surprise

Well we've shared our exciting Christmas surprise...baby number 3 is coming July 17th.

It will actually be before that.  My doctor said between the 13th and 15th really, since we'll schedule the c-section.

We got to see the little bean wiggling around at the doctor's.  Kyle and the kid's all came with me.  The wait was long to see the doctor, and thank goodness they have an awesome playground inside.
I don't think the kids even noticed it was a long wait.

However waiting in the actual office was the most interesting part.  With Dexter pointing and questioning all the diagrams that surround the rooms.  We were glad when the appointment got started.

I am now 9.5 weeks along.  Morning sickness is here.  I'm actually great in the morning and as the day goes on my energy levels crash and my nausea goes up.  Just like with Ellie, I can't eat chocolate.  This is very devastating especially because we're getting good treats dropped off, and I have to pick around stuff. :(  I even tried just a handful of trail mix, nope the m&m's proved too great for me.

The other time nausea flares up is cooking.  I love cooking, so this is sad.  If it's working with raw meat, smelly stuff, or just a lot of food in general I get nauseous.  Thanksgiving was actually hard with this, but I worked through it.

Outtake #2

We've explained to Dexter about a baby coming, but it hasn't clicked together in his little mind.  Once I actually get a large belly and it gets closer I think he'll understand.  Although one time we talked about how it could be a boy or a girl...he said he wanted a boy. We'll see.

Dexter wanted the remote...
