This week had lots of nausea and fatigue. It came and went so I was able to go to spin once and a few bike rides hopefully to offset the amount of food I was craving.

I don't think I told anyone about my pregnancy this week which I'm pretty proud of because I was surrounded by neighbors and family alot this week.

Continuing to pray for sticky thoughts for this baby to hang in there a few more weeks. My first ob appt is the week after next obviously I'm looking forward to it.

We're Pregnant!!

Yes, we were successful in conceiving Baby Freddy #3. We tried for two months unsuccessfully then to our surprise month three we got lucky.

I found out the morning of April 1st. Took a digital test first thing and didn't check it till naptime same day. To my surprise it read pregnant. Immediately I took another which also read pregnant. I thought for sure it was an April fools day joke. Lol so I waited another day and it was still positive.

I decided to wait till that Sunday " Easter" to tell hubby.

I planned on hiding an Easter basket for him to find with the positve test and this paper:

I decided to give him it on Saturday instead. The kids wore their new shirts I made for them also.

Still in shock that we are going to have another child. I am hoping to continue to go to spin, add some yoga classes and walking each week. I am really struggling with not telling people. But since we had such great pregnancies before I am also super worried we are due for a terrible one.
