Sometimes You Get a Surprise...
I found out on Christmas Eve that I'm about four weeks pregnant with #3. I'm part excited, part terrified. It will be an adventure for sure.

Due date looks to be about Sept. 4-ish. I've still got to make an initial appointment with the doc.

Well, thank you everyone.

It seems my husband is going to be in for a rough time this pregnancy. For about the billionth time in the last few days, I said, "I thought I did that/looked there/turned the light off."

Ah, pregnancy brain.
