And Baby Makes Three

The only thing I had ever wanted to be was a mom. Nothing else. But, Brian was determined to make sure we waited until we were ready both mentally and financially.... even though he was right, he had many problems keeping me on track! You know how loud that clock can bang around in your head!! LOL

Once we decided to have a baby, it took along time. After almost 2 years, we started infertility treatments for a few months. But, like they say, when you aren't trying it will happen and it did. We were on a brake and I just wasn't feeling right, so I called the doctor. He fit me right in and did some test and checks and sent me on my way.

Later that afternoon, I was laying on the couch in our spare bedroom when the doctor called. Brian came in as I was talking to him. The doctor asked me if I knew what was up with me. I told him no, that is why I came to see you this morning. He laughed and told me I was pregnant. Brian was just staring at me and I ran my hand above my stomach, making a big belly. I think Brian was going to be sick. I was beaming with happiness.

I knew pretty early on that we were having a boy. Mommy intuition! During my ultrasound the tech asked if we wanted to know and Brian said NO! He wanted to be surprised. Not 5 minutes later did she tell us we were having a boy... look there is his penis! LOL At least I knew I was right!!

I think all in all I had a great pregnancy. No morning sickness which I was very thankful for. I took lots of naps and after my 7th month, I began to swell like crazy. I would lay with my feet up for hours and the swelling never went down. Of coarse, I was not always comfortable in my last month, but sleeping on a waterbed was a godsend... just getting up and out was the issue. LOL
