But only because my husband and I are total morons! But seriously, it's a blessing and we're very excited and we had planned on having another, just not quite this soon. Everyone around me is rooting for a girl, and I have to be honest. I want a boy. I didn't realize it until my mom said to me, "It's a girl, I know it", that I came to this realization. OF COURSE, all that I really want is a healthy and happy child, first and foremost. But if I had to express a preference...well, I adore my pair of boys and would love to add another to the troop. Heather says that we need a little more estrogen in the house, and she may very well be right....
Anyway, that said, we're technically due on March 7, but as this will be my third c-section, they will schedule me no later than 38 weeks, which is February 22. February is now getting crowded (Noah on 2/15; Eric on 2/19). As for me, I feel great, more energetic than my other first trimesters. At 9 weeks along, I'm still going to boot camp, which I think I can attribute the extra energy to. I'm hoping to stave off the blood pressure nonsense for as long as possible. So that's all I have to tell right now.
Otherwise, we're all great- boys are big, cute, funny, smart, and so silly. We thought Jacob was a ham; then Noah came along and is an even bigger clown! We celebrated Pauls' 35th Birthday with a luau party last weekend. I have to say that it was one of the best shindigs that we've pulled off (if I may say so myself); good company, fun decorations, good (and easy!) food; I was not stressed out at all about hosting 35 people at my home, and all-in-all, it was pretty easy. Will post some pics when I get them.
There's a brief update for now. I'm going to go try to read a little Harry Potter before bed (I'm a late convert...just getting into book 4...DON'T TELL ME ANYTHING!)...
