I must apologize for the post my Honey put on here. He has officially been banned from my password and is in serious trouble. I think his point was to show me how insane this blogging thing is and he did a great job. Within 15 minutes of posting that our phone started ringing. So, that was the male version of our little surprise. Here is the female version.
Remember the post about Lasik? Especially the last few sentences. “Thanks to my honey for letting me do this! It is something I have wanted to do for a very long time. Do not worry people! Everyone keeps asking if we are done having kids. No we are not. You can get Lasik and still get pregnant. Just not for at least 6 months. Sorry honey!”
Hummmmm,Well, the waiting six months part did not really work out. Are you kidding me? In fact, I was most likely pregnant when I had Lasik. This is more than a shock!!!!! We are still not sure how it was possible. Just so everyone knows, certain forms of birth control do not work.
It tall started about a month ago when Alan was out of town. I woke really sick on a Monday morning and I thought I had the flu. I toughed it out and kept going through the day without saying anything to anyone. In the back of my mind I kept thinking I am a little late but there is NO WAY I am pregnant.
I felt better that night but woke the next morning feeling the same. I was baffled. I also had really bad heartburn. I started thinking I was making myself feel sick thinking I was pregnant but how could that even be possible. I decided I did not care and I would pay six bucks for a pregnancy test. Off we went to the store. It was a disaster!
There was a live radio broadcast there and a lot of people were by the pregnancy tests. Max just happened to throw a Vitamin Water out of the cart, the lid popped off, and it spilled all over. Carden yelled “What the world Max,” and took of running. Everybody looked at us and the DJ’s say on air, “Can someone help this poor lady get this mess cleaned up.” I wanted to dive into a whole. I am sure they were looking at me thinking, this lady can’t even handle her two kids and she is holding a pregnancy test?
I left the store telling myself two things. One, I was insane for thinking I was pregnant and two, if for some miracle I was, I was in for it.
I am 10 weeks a long and the baby is due December 9th, 2008. We will have a three year old, a one year old, and a new born. I know people do this! I do not do this. I was thinking about maybe getting pregnant in another year or two. This is insane. I am such a planner!!!!! I just finished lecturing Alan’s brother about how you do not get pregnant in March! That is a December baby.
I used to laugh and roll my eyes when people would say they did not plan the pregnancy. Get real! You use birth control correctly….you do not get pregnant. NOT TRUE!
It has only taken us a few weeks to cope with the fact that this was obviously meant to be. We apologize for not telling people but we have really needed some time to understand ourselves. We are getting more excited every day. (Especially now that I can actually make it through the day without leaning over the toilet.)
Needless to say, Alan is happy as can be. I waited for him to get back in town to tell him. It killed me keeping it from him for 48 hours. I have it video tapped. He was sooooo confused. Yet really PROUD and excited!
We went to the Dr. a few weeks ago and he just laughed when he saw us. He gave Alan a high five and said he was impressed. We heard the heart beat and saw the little bean growing. I am still in shock. I know we are blessed. I am in NO way complaining. We can do this and will do this. I am slowly learning I can not plan EVERYTHING in my life. The Lord has plans for us also. So now we will follow his plan for us and have faith that this is what is best for our, not so little anymore, family.
