My tentative plan was yes, have a kid 2-3 years apart. Get into it, diapers in and out, set go! Struggle the next 5 years, and then life will be a breeze. Ha!
We are super thrilled and excited for our new arrival. Baby's due in November. Boy or girl? Not sure, but the Chinese gender prediction says.... Drum roll please... GIRL! (Poor Paul)
I found out exactly on March 23rd to be exact. Paul was away in Las Vegas. I was actually picking him up the next morning. I know they say, take the test in the morning, but I've been counting my days, tracking everything bit by bit. Of course stress can tweek things a bit, but this time, I felt different. Honestly, I've been on an eating storm and I needed a positive prego test to tell me I wasn't just a fat girl. So I did it. This time it showed up so fast and vibrant! Ava's was so faint, I had to literally text my friend to see if my eyes weren't playing games. When the 2nd line showed... I did the happy dance, in silence cause ava was asleep. We're having a baby!!!
Now how did I tell Paul?? Well... Since it was so last minute, I took out some markers and paper and did some nee-tastic creative art skills. I figured, I'm his chauffeur so why not do a sign.
Six in the morning came and off we went to pick up daddy at the airport. I drove up with the sign on the door, he walks, opens and sits. Says hi and takes the paper and lays it on the dash board. Hahahaha typical man.
Me: "ahem. Did you read the sign?"
Paul: "yeah cute. Thanks."
Me: "can you please reread it again?"
Paul: "ok.... Oh! You're pregnant! Cool! Sorry I'm so tired from Vegas."
Me: lol....
Is he thrilled? Yes he is. He's been wanting it more than I have! As for Miss Ava, I'm not quite sure if she knows what's going on. Pass two weeks, she's been changing so much! I know she's gonna be a wonderful sister. She has a sweet gentle soul. Nurturing?? No but loving yes. She's gonna be a great buddy to the baby to be! I'm happy!!
So I announced to everyone on easter. I'm 8 weeks. Gosh, so early? Don't you wanna wait till end of the first?? No. That's not me. I can't lie. I can't hide. I'm too excited. It's life! A celebration! I'm having a baby!
8 weeks:
Kidney bean size
Sickness: every now and then, belling rolls. Ack
Food: steak and chips yum
Weight: 2lbs. I'm showing!!!
