Pregnancy and Life

After the past few months of having morning sickness and laying on the couch.. i decided again.. Back to blogging.. :) Where to begin. Baby Number 3 on its way!! Nope not planned. We had actually decided to wait another year for the 3rd but my birth control didn't do its job in time. At first it was a shocker, for Brandon more than Me.. ha. But we are so excited now for another addition to are fast growing family :).

 I had some spotting the first month and called my OB. . Went in for an Ultra-sound a few weeks later and they found a blood clot on my placenta. It a medium size and they were hoping it would be gone my next app. I had another Ultra-sound last week and it was still there and same size. It can cause miscarriage, and you need to stay of your feet as much as possible, but have been lucky this far and i really think everything will be ok.

Today i got a call from My OB and I am every anemic and low on vitamin C.. those who know me know i am a vegetarian and meat is not something i want to eat!! no no yuck yuck lol But of course every mom knows we will do whatever it takes for our kids, so after a few years of no meat i will be trying to eat red meats along with iron pills. (Wish me luck) Along with this i have been so sick.. so so sick. I started out throwing up 4-5 times a day or more, now I'm down to 1 or 2 times. I am hoping within the next two weeks it would go away cuz i am 13 weeks on Thursday! :) It feels like the longest pregnancy ever but i know how fortunate i am to be having my 3rd kid and am so excited. With Gavin and Deklin i was never sick, not even one time.  This pregnancy has been 100% different for me.. so most of our friends and family are saying.. it  GIRL then!! ha I Hope there right but i am not counting on it.. not till i see the ultra sound and hear the word GIRL.

Gavin keeps saying he wants a baby sister, and i don't think Deklin quite understands there is a baby in mom's tummy. Deklin will be 2 on aug 16th! Time is flying, my baby is starting to feel like a toddler and Gavin will be 4 on aug 6th! So both my kids are growing so fast, obviously its true when they say, don't blink. So I'm trying to be the best mom i can with trying to take care of myself and baby in me. It has tested my patients a lot more, and i for sure need Brandon's help way more then normal but he has been so good. I do not know what i would do without him.

Other than that we are planning birthdays and getting Deklin moved into Gavins room, getting ready in advance for this next baby!

Thats it for now :)
