Good News

Yes, it's true......we are expecting number 3.....already:)  I'm thirteen weeks along, and everything seems to be going great.  The due date is October 19.  I've actually felt pretty darn good considering, and I think this might be the easiest pregnancy so far......but, we'll see how the rest goes.  I've really been trying to eat good foods, and have been getting good whole grains and protein for breakfast, so I don't know if that's why I feel so much better, or if the pregnancy is just treating me better this time.  But I do love treats.....and when I do cave, which isn't very rare, I feel pretty yucky.  So....anyone who might be pregnant out there: make yourself eat breakfast, and make sure you are getting GOOD carbs and protein with every meal and snack, and see if you feel a whole lot better like I do!  There is one downfall to this feeling good thing though.....I've already started gaining my baby-weight, sigh.  We're excited to be adding to our family, and feel very blessed to be able to get them here so "easily" now.  Macie is very excited, and is always concerned about the baby.  She'll cover my belly with blankets and tell me the baby needs to stay warm.  She doesn't want Branson to crawl on my belly, and today on the way home from the Dr. she asked, "The baby okay Mommy?"  She also tells me that I have a "big huge belly."   But she made up for it by telling me it was "so pretty."  Reed asked her if my belly was huge, big, or small.  And she told him it was huge.  Then I asked her if Daddy had a huge, big, or small one, and she said, "Daddy has a tiny one!"  Hahaha!  If she thinks it's huge now, I don't know what she's going to think by the end!
