Baby #3 is on it's way!!!

Yes, I finally decided that I was ready to spend 9 months pregnant again. Now I am wondering what in the world I was thinking;))) Baby #3 is due November 4, 2010! We are very excited to have another little munchkin running around our house. We have had 3 ultrasounds and the baby is moving like crazy and seems to be developing just fine. We find out in 7 weeks what sex it is!! As for me. . . it's a different story.

I knew I was pregnant before I took a test because I was very nauseated! I took a test anyways and yes it came out positive. We always seem to get pregnant super fast and this time was no different. It's easy when you don't take birth control:))) I am about 11 weeks along now and I have spent every day of it sick. It started out as just severe nausea then it turned into a big huge monster!! I noticed that my blood sugar level was all over the place and it made me super sick when it was down. After I stopped eating the stuff that spiked my blood, I started to feel a bit better. I was still having this really weird response to some foods. I explained the things that were happening after I ate to my mom and she said that it sounded like a histamine response IE. food allergies??? I don't have food allergies?? Hummm, does that mean that my baby is going to have food allergies??? Anyways, I am now down to eating: 100% whole wheat grains - bread, rice etc., no dairy, no sugar in any form, omega-3 fatty acid foods, a few veggies, soy milk, oats, and lean chicken. That's about it. I told Scotty that if I ate like this normally I would be a stick:)) It's not fun to avoid all the yummy stuff but I am feeling so much better and that makes it worth it.

I had about 4 weeks that I was so sick that I was on the couch all day. It's a good thing that I have good friends to help take care of my family:)) I haven't run in about 6 weeks now and it is driving me crazy!!!

I do have to say that it is a good thing that I have Asher and Graham here because I know that all this is worth it!! I just love my kids. They are the best. How much fun will we have with 3 of them:)))
