baby

I know things have been quiet around the blog, and I’m sorry for not posting more. But things have not been very quiet in our lives.

We started this week with the addition of an epi pen into our everyday lives. Lucy had a pretty bad reaction to something [still don’t know what, since I am very vigilant to her allergies] and her allergist went ahead and got us a couple to keep on hand. It’s one of those things that makes you relieved that you have it, but MAN … why do I have to have one of these!?!?

My poor booger bear. I hope we NEVER have to use it.

Also, a couple of weeks ago, Ken and I found out that we are expecting baby #3. An unexpected surprise!

[I know, many of you are picking your jaws up off the floor because we were pretty vocal about only having two.]

We were going to wait to share with everyone [in a much more creative way!] after my first ultrasound at 12 weeks. But this morning, I ended up having to have an unexpected ultrasound due to some bleeding and cramping. The baby looks good … saw a teeny tiny heartbeat and everything. Unfortunately, I was so relieved, I forgot to ask to take the ultrasound pictures home with me. But I have a follow-up in two weeks, so I’ll grab some then. Don’t be too upset – it is so early, that the ultrasound was basically a round blobby sac with a grain of rice inside. Rice with a heartbeat.

I did get this picture, though.

You’re welcome.

Anyway, we decided to go ahead and share this news, because any prayers or positive thoughts would be appreciated right now.

And for those of you wondering … no, I will not be running the half-marathon next weekend. Doctor’s orders. I cannot tell you how sad this makes me – all of that training for nothing. But I think I’m going to get the 13.1 sticker anyway, because I DID run 14 miles a few weeks ago. And I did all the training for it. Does that count???? ;)

Thank you, xxoo
