We are very, very excited to announce (and I'm thinking you all know this already) but we are expecting a baby...a bundle of joy...whether it be a girl or a boy! My due date is December 15th! Sieve Baby #3 is on it's way!
We made the big announcement to the girls mid-May. I was 10 weeks along. We took them to the park and gave them each a little gift. We gave them each shirts first. Presley's said "I'm the Biggest Sister" and Madison's said "I'm the Little Big Sister." They didn't think much of them as they both have shirts similar to this already. Then I made them each pins to wear that said "I'm going to be a Big Sister Again" and "I'm going to be a Big Sister." Presley figured it out when she read the word "Again." She looked at us both and said "Mommy is going to have a baby!" Then Madison said "Is the baby in your tummy mommy?" and when I said "Yes" she said "So it's under your skin?" It was very cute!

We headed to my mom and Paul's to share the news with them next. They were both very excited! Next was Mary and Darwin's. They had company so we left to go tell my brother at his work and then went back to share the news with them. We called my dad and shared the news with him. When Amber and Kevin were home in April we had known for a couple weeks and told them in complete secrecy. We wanted to be able to tell them in person. We called my grandma and told her. We told our daycare the next morning. She was very excited and very willing to take the new baby in Feb. or March (yeah!) The next night we were with Jason's grandparents and his brother and future sister-in-law so we told them then.
As it turns out...most weren't too surprised. They all knew we wanted 1 more and were just waiting for when.
The word spread very fast after those couple days. We tried to call all our close friends to tell them. We had a handful of people we wanted to tell and have them hear it from us rather then from someone else. Everyone was very excited! Jason wanted me to make pink and blue cupcakes to take to AgCo. I did that for him when I was pregnant with Madison. He said most figured it out but a few were wondering why they were pink or blue.
I didn't post it on facebook for a week after. It was fun to do that too and see all the responses we got.
As I'm writing this, I am 14 weeks along. I haven't felt great since about week 6. I haven't thrown up just have been very nauseous and gaggy all day long. I was very tired at first but am thinking that is wearing off now. I have had 7-10 good days in that time frame. My Dr. has been really great trying to get me something to take that will help and that is safe for the baby. The couple different things haven't worked yet. Hopefully very soon I will be feeling better on my own. Here's hoping! I've started to show quite a bit (I think). My Dr. said that with #3 everything is very stretched out and that you show very fast. He's right!
I will try and post more frequently with my progress as I go!
And just in case you are wondering...no, we aren't going to find out the sex! 1 more big surprise for us! We haven't found out with the girls so we might as well wait with this one too!
