Well, if you saw my post a bit ago saying we might have another family member soon… we are! I found out June 3rd that we are having another baby!!! Never, ever thought I’d have or want more than 1 child lol. I’m so thankful though. Hubby and I had talked back in the early part of this year about whether or not we wanted to try for any more babies or If we were done after Benjamin. I felt like if we were gonna try then we better get to it! We decided that we did want one more so we kind-of tried in late Jan-early Feb. Nope. I started using ovulation predictor kits and kept track of everything each month. February- nope. March- nope. April- nope. May 11th was my last period. I was due for another one June 6th. I had used more expensive ovulation tests this time, including the Clearblue advanced digital ovulation tests and I SWEAR they helped up our chances! I followed my blinkey and solid smiley faces with the digital and we did the deed around those days. Well, the week before we went to Six Flags I took a cheapie preg test at 6 days past ovulation… negative. Way too early I thought. 7DPO.. negative. 8DPO I took a blue dye Clearblue test and SAW A FAINT LINE within time limit! NO- WAY. I showed hubby and said well… maybe! I knew blue dye test got a bad rep but this was within time frame. I took a FRER too and it looked negative. Saturday morning at 9DPO I took another Clearblue.. faint line I think?! Went to Six Flags and had a blast. Decided to just rest and take a test the next morning at 10DPO. My first test I took was one of my cheapies from Amazon. Dip. Wait. OBVIOUS FAINT LINE!!!!!!!! HOLY-CRAP. I was like no way, no way, no way!!! Next was another FRER.. nothing yet. Another Clearblue- faint but better line than before! The FRER line finally showed up, even though super faint. I was debating on when to take the one Clearblue digital that I had left over from the last cycle.. hmm. Wait a day? NOPE. I went ahead and opened it that Sunday evening. Brad saw the faint lines but didn’t really believe it. I wasn’t sure if it would show up pregnant being this early and only 10DPO. Open test. Dip 20 seconds… blink. Blink. Blink. Wait. Blink. Wait more. PREGNANT. I showed Brad the words!!! Never tested this early with either pregnancies! OH and I went back and looked at my 6/7dpo tests and there ARE very very very very faint lines there too! Amazing. I continued to take pregnancy tests forever, lol. I wanted to see the progression lines! Never did that either. I literally have a goodie bag of pregnancy tests. Yes, I’m ridic. I had really early symptoms too.. night sweats, achy legs, waking up really early to pee! and then not being able to go back to sleep.

Fast forward and I had my confirmation appointment this last Friday. SO AMAZING because we saw everything that people can’t usually see this early on (which I was 6 weeks)! Saw the baby, fetal pole, yolk sac, and even SAW AND HEARD that little heart beat!!!! So, so thankful.

I will be 7 weeks Friday and nausea has already been creeping up on me.. haven’t gotten sick yet but I bet that’s coming soon. I go back on July 16th for my 1st OB hour long appointment and I am sooo excited for it!

Other than the big news we haven’t been doing too much lately! Waiting to get a little extra money so we can go back to Six Flags again.

Hope you are enjoying your summer!!!

We’ve had a lot of fun lately!!! Back up into April before Brad’s Mom came to visit- not sure if I mentioned this? But we got our upstairs bathroom finished! Before we moved in they had to tear out a lot of it since there was a bad leak so they gave us new floor and cabinets. Wish I could remember what day? Like mid April I think. Well, today another guy came to finish part 2 of that with closing up the holes in the ceilings downstairs where they had to also work on the leak. He has to come back tomorrow or Friday and cover up the ceiling to match the rest of the ceiling.

Since I’ve last updated we’ve went to many pet stores, the mall, 2nd & Charles- cool little shop with used stuff to buy, and then of course SIX FLAGS! Six Flags was so much fun and we all had a blast, even little Benjamin. We didn’t ride any big roller coasters this time but me and Katie rode the Justice League ride like we did the last time and also the Sky Screamer swings. We ate lunch for free at Six Flags thanks to Brad’s work then over to the water park- Hurricane Harbor! So much fun… even Brad and I went down a bigger water slide. I sat with Ben in the very very shallow water for like 40 minutes and let him splash. We were going to go swim in the pool but everyone was out of it? Come to find out- someone had puked in the pool. Well, there goes that! So we went back to the water playground. Katie almost got an attitude when it was time to go. We went looking at various shops and I couldn’t find a snack for me, since I can’t eat a lot of usual stuff. I bought some fruit snacks though and Katie and Brad got funnel cakes for free because of Brad’s work too! Best part of all this??? We got a FREE season pass till September 16th because of his work!!! WOOOT. We all got a bit burnt, esp Brad on his face but Katie’s back was horrible! We’re all good now though. Brad also rented a motorcycle from work for a week and I drove the kids in the car Sunday over to our local park and Brad followed behind us on the bike lol. He’s still nervous since he hasn’t ridden in years. Just been hanging out with the kids. When we went to the park that day when Brad rode the motorcyle- Benjamin had his first try at swinging and he loved it! Then we came home later and gave him his first buzz cut haircut and he hated it! Not sure if it’s because he didn’t know what was going on or maybe the sound of the clippers. Brad took the sizer off and was gonna clip a little hair from by his ears and he moved his head… so he has a little buzz mark on the side LOL. He looks SO HANDSOME! Monday I drove down to help take care of my mom and take my aunt to the store. Tuesday my church friend invited me back to the same park we went to Sunday! Then today the guy came for the ceiling so it’s been a busy week!

Just been hanging out with the kids and going to the store when need-be for the usual necessities. Life has been awesome lately and I am loving it!
