Good news

I know you all know but we are expecting our 3rd boy =) Our little "surprise!" We are still in shock a bit and laugh whenever we talk about it!  We really thought it had to be a girl.  This pregnancy has been like nothing I've ever experienced!  I didnt really have any symptoms at all with my boys except later with my joints, and I was sick with this little stinker before I even tested positive!  Weeks and weeks of not getting out of bed, I would lay in bed and in my mind walk up and down the walmart isle trying to think of just ONE thing I maybe could eat!  So miserable!  I was sooooo tired and skipped the gym up until last week.  I recently had the dreaded 24 hour flu, and besides the puking being more violent, there was no difference than what I had been living with for the last two months. Yet despite all of this I have gained twice the weight I ever have.....pretty lame. BUT I am already forgetting everything, and feeling sooooo much better.  Water tasting like water is wonderful! 

Like I said, we thought it had to be a girl, but from the get go, I had a small feeling it was a boy.  My sister Sam went with me to my ultra sound, and we gotta see the little stinker!  I fell so in love!!  He was so sweet, and wiggly and shy, all at once!  When I called Rye he was shocked, and instantly started laughing and got way excited! He is healthy.....which is all I could ever want!  I think about whats in store for us....three missions right in a row, bands,  sports, sports, more sports,.........girls.. trials, injuries, teachers calling us, wrecking vehicles, broken bones, fights,  maybe a few visits from a police officer......the thoughts start out good =)

 I feel so blessed.....I LOVE my kids.  I could care less about anything else I could be doing.  I know the most important thing I will ever do is raise these boys.  Its the only thing that matters.  Ive just been overwhelmed with gratitude for the opportunity I have to be a mom.  So many don't get the chance.  Rye has always wanted like 12 kids....by two, I was like hummm...maybe three?  But I think you will see a lot of these posts!! =)
