Have 3 kids

Ok… I am trying to get myself mentally prepared for a 3rd baby. I would like to start trying after my 5K in July!!! I want to then continue to work out while I am pregnant. I don’t want to run or work out that hard because I do not want to have another miscarriage.

I want to try for our third baby before the year is over; however, I just want to enjoy my daughter for now and loose a little weight.

August is so beautiful. We feel so blessed. I would like to get pregnant again this year; however, I would like to loose a little weight first. I am praying to god that when we start trying again that I do not have another miscarriage.

Ever since high school I have always planned far ahead and I want to have 3 children (1 boy and 2 girls) I already have picked out the best names. Leon for the boy, Willow and Kairi for the girls!! Feel free to comment on the names. They are my favourite. But first I must find my Edward Cullen :)

have 3 girls who are now 17,15 and 14. Must say this has been HARD work – harder than i imagined when i was young and free. when they were little it was a 3 ring circus and being prone to anxiety and “nervous exhaustion” it was not always plain sailing. i can remember sitting on the couch, crying, thinking someday they will be 9,7 and 6(or 5 depending on the time of year) and things will be better then – and they were! this was probably the best stage so far – i could talk to them, they were semi-controllable, i knew where they were all the time and who they were with. now that they are teenagers it is really hard most of the time. letting go, trying to maintain some control of my own home, have rules followed etc. is SO stressful. at some point you really run out of consequences (in the case of my 17 year old – who pretty much has given up going to school and just wants to get high all the time). praying, looking for answers – i know “this too shall pass”, but for right now, i sometimes wonder “why was it i wanted to have kids again???”

Last week… I had the scare of my life. I went to a specialist to get the non-invasive down syndrome screening done. No big deal since I will be 35 when the baby is due. The first screening (blood work and a special ultrasound) came back fine. The genetic counselor left a message that everything looked fine. I had the 2nd set of test (blood taken and another special ultrasound) and last Tuesday the genetic counselor leaves a rather upbeat message… Hi this is ….. give the office a call. So I called and she explained that my numbers were back and the numbers for a female who is 35 is 1 out of 250 or 270 something.. my number was 1 out of 90 and they recommend an amnio. At that moment I was speechless and told her I had to talk it over with my husband. I got off the phone quickly, told my husband, and had my crying spell. I then called her back because the office was about to close and told her to set up the amnio ASAP. They got me in the next morning. I waited patiently the next afternoon to get the results. I had a few more crying spells.
I got the phone call and everything was fine.

I am getting excited that we are having a girl. We are already blessed with a son who is currently 16 months old. August will be arriving in January. I have to get motivated to clean out the junk room so I can get started on the decorating process.

I have already bought some clothes for her. I have been buying from the sales racks at various stores. When I get closer to the due date I think I will buy some from ebay. I found a children’s clothes store that I just love it’s called Janie and Jack. I love the styles that they have in this store; however, they are rather expensive.

If anyone knows of any sales let me know.

you don’t have enough arms to grab them before chaos ensues. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

My second child is going to be a girl. We are naming her
August Lauren. I just loved this name when I heard it. I know it is sometimes used as a boys name but I think it sounds more like a girls name. She is due in January. We feel very blessed and can’t wait.
I have a lot of work to do … with getting the house in order and switching bedrooms with my son. I want to give him the other bedroom since its bigger and his room is going to be the new nursery. I definitely have some decorating choices to make.

Thank you god for all the joy and happiness thats in our lives.
