I decided, though, since I live 4000 miles away from my family and the vast majority of my friends, this might be a good way to keep everyone updated on how things are going out here with this pregnancy and beyond.
And if people aren't all that interested, then it will at least be a good record for my own memory-keeping. :) I do have two other friends who are also currently pregnant and keeping a blog, and I've enjoyed reading theirs, so hopefully this one will be interesting/entertaining to a few folks.
Here's a quick recap of this pregnancy so far:
My due date is August 18th, and my "turnover" day is Monday. So each Monday, I am officially another week pregnant. Right now I'm 25 weeks along. And so far, this is another uneventful pregnancy. Thank goodness! This pregnancy was a total surprise, and it actually took me almost my entire first trimester to get with the program and be happy about it. We weren't supposed to have any babies while living in Hawaii - between being so far away from family and Andy inevitably having to go to Iraq for another deployment, I didn't think this was quite the ideal time to add a third little one to our brood. But, what are you going to do? My adult life has been full of unexpected, um, adventures, so why should they stop now? Plus, I don't want to seem ungrateful - I'm very lucky to be blessed for a third time!
Anyway, I had no inkling one way or the other about what I was having this time, although there was definitely a part of me hoping for a little girl. It would be a fun change of pace to buy pink things for once. But, it is not to be. My baby-psychic of a stepmother (she is eerily accurate about guessing/knowing what you're going to have) told me when I was pregnant the first time that it didn't matter how many babies I had, they'd all be boys. Three babies in, and she's still right!
I guess this is enough to get started. I'll do separate posts about names (no, we haven't decided on anything), baby shopping, the hospital, etc., etc.
Until next time!
