Pregnant

I never mentioned in my last post that I'm pregnant already. I was kind of embarrassed and almost hated to admit it. I've been talking about wanting another baby since McKayla was a baby, so it really isn't a surprise that I got pregnant after being married for just a month. BUT, it honestly was not planned at all! We really wanted to wait until Parker got into OCS. We also wanted to wait until enough time had past that I wouldn't be due around Kirby and Stella's wedding. Well, I'm due 20 days before the wedding........I'm do May 6th.

For a while I was actually a little bummed about the timing of this pregnancy. But the more I thought about it, the more I felt bad for feeling bad. I would never ever want my baby to think I wasn't happy about their arrival! Because that couldn't be farther from the truth. I am very excited to have another baby, I'm excited to hold a little baby again. So I started focusing on that, instead of stressing about the timing.

If all goes as planned, I will be quitting my job at the end of April. Parker won't be going to OCS until June, which really works out perfectly, he'll be here for a month with the baby, before he has to leave.

McKayla is at a great age, she is independent and I know she will be a big help to me. She is extremely excited. She tickles my stomach every night before bed. I just love that little girl so much, and being pregnant brings back so many memories of when she was a baby. I'm constantly hugging and kissing her, more than usual. She's growing up too fast. She's a freakin' 2nd grader!!

So there. I've blogged about my pregnancy....I've been meaning to do that for a while now. I'm 17 weeks and 4 days pregnant. We will be finding out the sex of the baby January 4th. Hopefully I will blog again before then.
