The week after school started, I started wondering where my period was. Not really that uncommon that it wasn't there on time, but since I'd been tracking it FOR-EV-ER, I noticed it wasn't on time. We've been trying to have another baby for A VERY LONG TIME (hence the 6 yr age gap that will be between Grant and the new baby). I'd spoken to my new OB/GYN here in Michigan, and the "just keep trying" and "we can do more extensive measures" were discussed. I had given up in my own mind that it would ever happen. :(
So, after about being 5 days late, I had one more pregnancy test here at home from earlier in the year, and I thought, "I can't waste this test!" So, I waited ANOTHER two days to test because I knew my period would come. Then, since it didn't, I just decided to test. What do you know......it was positive instantly!
So, then the shock set in for about another 4 weeks! I guess I didn't really believe it, or I thought that I could miscarry again since I have in the past. Plus, we had A LOT going on in terms of the school stress (see previous post) and a new job interview with the contemplation of moving again stress.
Anyways, here we are.......having our 3rd baby! Due May 17, 2012! I don't care if it's a boy or a girl......I just want a healthy baby.
Jessi! HUGE congratulations to you and your family. May is not so far away - hope you are feeling well!

Actually, I wrote a few posts I never published until yesterday. Sorry for the confusion! And thank you!
P.S. It would be a shame if we didn't meet up just once here in Michigan! I never know when I might move. We can't be THAT far away from each other?

Big congrats! I am so excited for you guys! I think you might actually love the big age gap! I had a baby after my youngest was FIVE and seriously she was like the second mom around here which was such a blessing! It was awesome! Anyways, so happy to see this and best wishes with everything!
