And Baby Makes Three...

Yep, you heard me right.

We are having a baby!

It's okay. I'm still in shock, too.

No, this pregnancy was not planned. No, I was not super excited at first. Yes, I did have my moments of mourning for my life being completely altered before I was prepared for it. And yes, it's still hard to accept the fact that I am growing a human being inside of me and I want to throw up then pass out on the couch 90% of the time.

But now that it has happened and there's no turning back, I am truly excited about having a little bundle of joy in our lives that we get to call our child.

 

Yep, that's a positive!

Here's the crazy thing, though: we can't figure out exactly how we got pregnant.

I mean, we know how we got pregnant. The birds and the bees speech is not needed, and a little too late if we did. What we can't figure out is exactly when it happened, according to my due date.

I knew that we had a possibility of getting pregnant, so I started really keeping up with everything. Once I found out we were expecting, I immediately tried to look back and see how far along I was, and it looked like I was a little over 6 weeks, which would mean I would be 9 weeks by the time we had our sonogram.

After seeing the baby, the sonographer determined I was 5 weeks 6 days, not 9 weeks.

Once I was over the shock of being 3 weeks earlier than originally thought, I looked over my little handy-dandy app that keeps track of everything for me, and it just didn't make sense. Of course, I could've forgotten about recording in the app a time or two, but I really don't think I did.

After further research, I have come to the conclusion that God said we were going to have a child around October 18th. It is the only explanation that makes sense, and it's the only explanation that gives me comfort.

So, where does my life (and my blog) go from here?

Obviously, my life is no longer about being a wife, a nanny, and a dance teacher anymore. I now have to add the role of being a mom.

Nope, still not used to the idea of me being a mom.

I have decided to put this blog on hold, and to start up a new one that will be dedicated to this next chapter of my life. I am going to call it:

My New, Crazy, Pregnant Life

 

It'll be similar to this one, but I'll be giving week-by-week updates and pictures on this little person that is taking over our life. I will still include recipes, stories, and my usual randomness as I have always given.

 

Pregnancy won't change that :)

So, here we go! Diving head-first into this new world that has me excited, nervous, terrified, and nauseous. I have a feeling the next 34 weeks will be like no other, and there will probably be many tears shed and sleepless nights, but I know that there will also be many laughs and awe-inspiring moments that will fill our lives and our hearts. I have no idea what this pregnancy will entail, but I am so thankful that I have wonderful friends and family that surround us and a husband that I get to walk beside through this new journey we get to embark on together.

 

Ready or not, here Baby comes!
