In Denial about the 3rd Tri

Im rapidly approach my 3rd and final trimester. My last - ever - trimester. Most days that thought makes me enjoy it and want to relish in it - but other days its hard to enjoy the achy pelvis, the bloating, the waddling, blah blah blah

BUT I know that this is the last time I'll get to house a baby and feel the kicks of my little one growing inside of me. So im enjoying it DARN IT!!! ;)

Pregnancy: 27 weeks

Weight Gain: 22 pounds total

Sleep: Im up to 3 pillows but still sleeping well.

Gender: Boy~

Feeling: Good .

Health: Tip-top. ;) BP has been good - better than with Brooklyn.

Movement: He moves a lot - just little movements, all the time. I hope he sleeps. :-/

Belly: No stretchies yet but the belly is very itchy ... I guess that means its growing.

Next Appointment: We're checking out the Labor & Delivery on April 14th. Next appt is April 21st and thats when I hear back about my GD test.

New Year Prediction: 2 under 2, plus a 10 year old

Yup - thats right folks - we are officially completing our brood.

I found out on Brooklyns 1st Birthday (Nov 2nd). Ironic, no? As I was reminiscing about the day I stared at her little face for the first time I was staring at this in utter shock:

I had no idea how to break the news to my husband. I was freaking out - I couldnt imagine how he would feel. Mind you, I havent blogged about it but we were staying at my parents house while we waited to move into a new home. Im sure you can imagine my surprise - take note; I said we were staying at my parents house ... Now how exactly does your 'time of the month' go missing when youre living with your parents, I'd like to know.

Heres how I broke the news to my Husband;

With H1N1 germs hanging around our pad, I had been force feeding David & Kalina hot tea every night. I got a random email about gargling with salt water and drinking hot liquids as a precautionary measure - legit or not - I was pushing the hot liquids. They both snubbed their nose at it night after night but I continued making it anyhow.

On this particular night, I made my own tea and then I stuck a digital home pregnancy test in a mug (yes - I am aware of how gross that is) for my hubs - with 'pregnant' facing up. I nestle down next to David, who is ready to turn on some lovely trash tv (MTV's The Hills), and I nonchalantly pass him the mug. "Whats... ? What the ...? .... (stares at the stick in the mug) "Youre Pregnant? Are you joking? You're pregnant? Shut the front door! You're Pregnant?"

Then he sits up half-smiling, half-stunned - "when did you get pregnant??" ... As if I did this all by myself. ;)

Then I go from smiling to crying, "Oh my god - You're not happy. You're not HAPPY? I knew it - youre stressed!" "Im happy!" Hes says. Then we're both crying and he starts laughing hysterically. HYSTERICALLY. "OMG - we're living at your parents house and you're pregnant" More hysterical laughter. "OMG - Im getting snipped, Im making an appointment tomorrow. OMG." and of course, more hysterical laughter.

"Did you check the chinese baby calendar??"

... he runs out to his truck to get the chart his sister gave him when we got married. "MALE!!!Male! Male! Male!" He throws the dog in the air screaming, "We're gonna have more testosterone Daisy!!"

(Of course, I had to burst his bubble and remind him that it still MAY be another girl.)

So - there you have it; we anticipate being a family of FIVE come July 2010.
