No pregnancy tests in the Albertson's bathroom this time. Actually, knowing that I'd spent a small fortune on tests while trying to conceive Andrew, I ordered a package of tests from the internet at a much lower cost. As I was walking back up the hill from picking up the tests from the mailroom, I thought to myself, "I'm pregnant." That hill just about killed me.
I took the test, and what do you know, it was positive. It was the faintest of faint lines, but there was a line. I then proceeded to take the four other tests that were in the package. When Randy came home that evening, I gave him the good news. He said something like, "Well, that was quick." I went to the MSA cooking club that evening, and kept my sweet little secret to myself. It didn't take me long to blab the good news, though, I'm horrible at keeping happy things like that to myself.
Having a winter baby suits me very well. I had very little swelling this time. I was able to exercise up until my 37th week. I felt so good the whole time. It almost felt like I was cheating somehow because I never got too uncomfortable. I relished the somersaults and cartwheels that made my belly lopsided and bumpy.
I was sure we were having a girl, even though, deep down inside, I wanted a boy. Randy was sure it was a boy. When we found out we were indeed having another boy, I was giddy for weeks.
This pregnancy went quickly. Taking care of a toddler will do that to you. Maybe that's the reason why I only took the time to take two pictures...

I do think a winter baby is easier, but having a winter birthday sucks for sure. still though, for my comfort my kids can suffer through the winter birthdays just like I have.
Oh and that was very comforting to me to hear that you did finally feel ready for another one, because I am scared TO DEATH about having to do that all over again.
See, you look great pregnant! Soph was the only one I was actually ready for. Maybe that's why I didn't get blue after her?
Nancy, these pictures bring back memories of handing off kids for our check-ups! That was so great how it worked out. Are you just dying, with Match Day 11 days away? I'm so excited to hear where everyone's going!
P.S. Abby blessed Andrew in her prayer tonight. She misses him! :)
