{Day 5} Confession: I Said I’ve Never Do It…
I said I’d never do it.
Take a picture of the test, that is. And then show it proudly to friends and family and strangers. Like, “Hey, look! Here’s a stick that I peed on!”
“Awesome”, they’d think. “And a little bit creepy”.
I was going to do some cute and clever way of sharing our exciting news, you know something creative and original, etc. But honestly y’all… I’ve already fallen to tired zombie-brain. My growing little alien is sucking the brain power out of me already and he/she is only like half an inch long. Yowzers.
So, here are the deets, for those who shall be asking:
* I’m like 5 wks ish. Due early June. Nope, I can’t keep a secret, and see no reason to do so this time around. So, we’re sharing early. Get over it.
* No, we’re not finding out the gender early.
* Yes, I already have a list of names. Please! I’ve had a list since I was like 8. Although, Darlene is not still on it (that’s what I named every single one of my dolls, after my friend’s aunt, which I thought was the prettiest name EVER).
* No, I’ve not been sick yet. Don’t hate me, but I don’t really get morning sickness. I will, however, shortly be starting the fall-asleep-in-your-supper stage, and that should be super-fun.
* Yes it was planned. Yeah, I know you’re all wondering. But even if it wasn’t, we’d still be just as thrilled. We enjoy the age difference between our first two, and wanted the same for the third.
* I’m already kind of “showing”. Don’t laugh. I think it’s mostly leftover baby flab from the previous two + a teeny bit of bloating from this little monkey. But seriously, I’m like as big as my best friends were like two weeks before giving birth. They were never HUMONGOUS WHALES like me when I’m in the last trimester. Thus, I’m telling you all now about the baby so that I can quit sucking it in. If a stranger asks though, I’m telling them I’m in my second trimester…
* We’re gonna be outnumbered…
Pretty great post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to mention that I have truly enjoyed browsing your weblog posts. In any case I’ll be subscribing for your feed and I am hoping you write again very soon!
Congratulations!! I have to laugh with amazement because my oldest daughter just found out she is pregnant and is due EARLY JUNE or to be exact JUNE 9th as what your earlier reader was suggesting LOL
She is also considering taking a photo of the stick so don’t feel too bad, she also thinks she is already “showing” and really, she is, this is her 2nd, and she is feeling sick sick and pretty darn yucky so I’m thinking it’s a great thing that you are not!! I came to your blog from the GYPSY MAMA….have truly enjoyed everything on your blog I have read so far this morning!! I may have to join in the every day of blogging a little late for this month!! 
So exciting!! Children are *such* a blessing! (ehem… but not always easy!) I’m glad I got to finally check your blog again
Congrats you guys!!
This by far is the BEST NEWS I’ve heard in a long time. Thanks for sharing, and for posting a picture of the test-haha
I took about 3 pregnancy test and took pictures of all 3 of them. Its like I needed multiple test that said YES so that I could believe it -haha. Next time I’m just sticking with the dollarama test. They work well and there way cheaper than those fancy expensive test (which we did use once
I am so happy for Ricci-ville and this newest addition to your already cute family. I’m also happy to hear that your not finding out the gender. I loved not knowing (although I always felt and knew from the start that we were having a boy). Behala, I love you and hope that you post some belly pic’s as you begin this journey. Lots of love to you all!
Fan-FREAKIN-tastic!!!!!
So thrilled for you guys!
And i TOTALLY hear you about the list of baby names.. i’ve been writing down fave names since i was a kid too!
Thanks Andrea! I can’t wait to see what your future kid(s?) is/are named… we have very similar name taste, I think!
Hugs from all four of the Walkers! What a fun family of five you will have…for a time! (; (If I knew how to do one of those cute smiley winky faces, I’d put it on there). Too bad we won’t be pregnant together this time around. I guess I’ll just have to live the craziness vicariously through you!
Thanks Crystal! You can definitely live my craziness vicariously. I might even let you babysit, if you ask really nicely, lol!!
Holy Crow! Congratulations!! Love and hugs from Joe, Leslie and Liam!!
Thanks Les!
Congratulations Beth & Chris & family !!!
What exciting news ! We had our three kids ‘one-right-after-another’ style too and enjoyed every minute ! Hope all goes well with the pregnancy and that you feel great all the way through. I’m glad you’re not finding out the gender – I would never want to know ! It makes being pregnant for 9 months all that more exciting – finding out who to welcome & love at the end of it all !
Thanks Fran & Rob! It’s nice to hear from others who have had their kids close in age and survived to tell about it… and enjoyed it! Thanks!!
elizabeth!! congrats!! so excited for you guys!!
hey i have an aunt named darlene! haha but i dont know if you knew that growing up! hope your falling asleep in your supper stage hasnt started yet! hah praying for lots of energy for you! xoxo
Hahahahaha! Alysia – it was totally your aunt who I thought had an AWESOME name. And I remember naming all my dolls after her when we used to play house in my basement with blanket forts.
Eeeeeee!!!!!
Hooray!
(I turn in to a whale too)
Thanks! I shall call upon you to empathize with my whale-ness then
This is exciting you guys! Number three…that thought is beyond my comprehension! Don’t get me wrong we enjoy every minute with our two wonderful little blessings…but they are a handful enough. We were pregnant at the same time with number one and number two and I will let you fly solo on this one! You are going to be a busy outnumbered MAMA!
I am happy to forge ahead, haha! Your kiddos are adorable, and I think it’s great that you know what works for your family. How funny that we couldn’t imagine being in each other’s shoes
Congrats on being pregnant again! I have to say – it is soooo refreshing to hear someone embrace having children. These days, even some Christians are forgetting that having children is a wonderful blessing from the Lord. It’s so exciting that you’re growing your family
Thanks Marci! I want lots of kids, and I’m definitely not ashamed of it! I couldn’t be happier right now, really. My hands will be full indeed… full of crazy little blessings.
Yay!! Congratulations! I have been wondering when such an announcement would come;).
On the whole showing and getting big thing….for me it is my belly button…seriously, I think it pops if we even look at each other with baby thoughts! So I say stop sucking in the gut and let it hang with pride:).
And speaking as one who has had more morning sickness than I would like to remember (though not bad with this one), I am glad that you aren’t feeling sick, just cause I was doesn’t make me ever wish it on others.
Anyways, excited for you for this little one!
Thanks Missy! That’s funny about the belly button thing
I definitely will start wearing the gut with pride now that people know… oh the things we think about as mamas, lol!
Glad that you are feeling pretty well too. Not that long for you now!
I love that you’re not bothering with keeping it a secret this time…I think that’s the route we’ll take with #3. Oh & for the record I was MUCH bigger at 40+ weeks then you EVER were in your 2nd trimester
Turns out we’re pregnant together again:)
So excited for you all!
Oh & the pee stick is not creepy its exciting!!
Ha… yeah right. We can compare belly shots, and we shall see, lol. So excited to be pregnant with you again… that’s awesome
PS June 9th is a great day for a birthday.
Though I was due early June with Caleb and he came May 29th.
Beth!!! Awesome news! I had a feeling it would be soon.
Congrats on baby #3!!!! Sooo happy for you!!!!
Love,
Krista
