For those who don't know yet we are expecting our 3rd baby in early July. I went and saw my midwife last night for my 12-week appt. and heard the heartbeat. What a sweet and reassuring sound. We have kept this pregnancy very much to ourselves and now feel comfortable sharing our good news. I have had an amazingly easy 1st trimester compared to my other two pregnancies. Minimal nausea, just a few weeks of real exhaustion.
G went with me to my appt. so she could hear the heartbeat (Matt had to work) and she seemed a little confused when I told her what the sound was. When we got home, she and Darby were in the bath together and Matt and I tried to explain to the girls what it meant to have a baby in my tummy. This is what Darby said, "See it."
Me, "Well honey you can't see it yet." Darby, "See it." Me, "Honey you won't be able to see it for a while."
This continued until Georgia piped up and said, "Will Darby get to stay with us?"
I guess she thought maybe the new baby would replace Darby.
Today on the way home she said, "Momma, when the new baby comes do we get to keep Darby?"
Maybe I should stop asking Matt "What is wrong with this baby?" when D is having one of her crying fits. I think Georgia thinks we want to get a better baby. Funny and kind of sad she would think I would ever get rid of my precious Darby.
I am sure this pregnancy will lead lead to many funny moments with our other children. Oh, Georgia is also adamant that the baby be a girl. She has made it clear a boy will be unacceptable.
In other news D pulled my Nikon D40 off a shelf and broke the motor in the lens so I am waiting on a new lens to get here. I am so hoping it gets here before X-mas but I am doubtful. What timing. So no pictures today. I have taken a few with our other camera but I have to hook it up to the computer and I don't feel like finding the cord.
Merry Christmas to all and hopefully I will get some pics up soon!
