#3

Well Iam finally on here to document our 3rd pregnancy and 3rd girl. Iam alittle late into the game. 34 weeks late to be exact :0) I have always thought blogging to be a wonderful way to document big changes in life, but never got around to it. So here is to hoping can keep this up. So well start from the beginning.

In September of 2008 we decided to start trying for #3. Each month brought more and more negative tests and tears. I started to worry why I wasnt getting pregnant right away like I did with Kaylah and Alivia. Then a week before Christmas I got positive.... I was soo excited..It was perfect. I couldn't wait to tell Adam. I remember casually telling him on the couch while we were watching TV... We were thrilled. Our excitement lasted a only a week . As I started bleeding a day before Christmas. It was a chemical pregnancy. I then made an appt. with my OBgyn for some test. Everything was normal. Except for some small cysts on my right ovary that she said should help my fertility. We went on to have another CP the following month. Only to find out in February that we were expecting again. We were very cautiously optimistic that this pregnancy would stick. Here are the details :0)
