March

On my side of the family, we have A LOT of March birthdays! Mine, my Mom's, my Dad's and my sister Lisa's are all in March. When Jared joined the family, we gained another March birthday. My grandmother's birthday was in March, and I have cousins, aunts and uncles with March birthdays. We really have almost every day in March covered, and I am not exaggerating!

Well, I'm excited to report that Jared and I have done our part to cover one of the "free" days in March. Today at the doctor's, we were given a due date for our third child of March 3, 2009!

I'll let that sink in...

Yep, we are having another baby! I am 10 weeks pregnant and almost out of my first trimester. It has been a tough first trimester - my toughest of the three pregnancies. I have been fighting morning sickness and sheer exhaustion for most of it, but I am hoping that my second trimester will bring relief from nausea and bring more energy!

We had our first ultrasound today and found ONE baby (sorry, Courtney, no twins here!) with a very strong heartbeat! We were thrilled to get that good news, and Aidan was so excited to get his first glimpse of his "sister."

Aidan is 100% sure, and will accept nothing less, that he will get a baby sister this time. Every night, he prays, "Dear God, let my baby be a sister." The first time he said it, I laughed so loud! I think he does it now to make me smile, but he absolutely will not accept it if you try to tell him it could be a brother. So because of that, Jared and I have decided that we will find out the gender of the baby in early October. Stay tuned!

Well, I'll wrap it up for now. After Jared shows me how to use our scanner with my Mac, I'll post the ultrasound picture.
