Surprise Christmas Gift

Big Sister and "Big" Brother

Yes, we found out Christmas Day we were pregnant with Baby Lee #3. We should not have been surprised as we were not preventing, but also not exactly trying. However, I had taken 3 pregnancy tests from the Dollar Tree that showed negative. Christmas morning (really late at this point), I took my last Dollar Tree test. It showed a very faint pink line which left me confused. So, on our way to lunch at my mom's, we stopped at Walgreen's to get a REAL test. It showed a bright pink line immediately. So, hence the 4 negative/unreliable tests, I was shocked. I surprised Chris by wrapping the stick in a gift bag for him to open later that day with a note "Test #5 worked. Merry Christmas!"

I go for my first doctor appointment in about a week, but I think I'm currently about 8.5 weeks along and due ~ August 24, 2011. I feel good, just a bit more tired and very hungry. Having major cravings for olives, pickles, avocados, spicy food, salsa, etc.... I even craved fried food last week - crazy as I hardly ever eat fried stuff. Ironically, I have been craving jalepeno chedder poppers which I had only had like maybe 3 times in my life until this pregnancy. I've learned that Kroger sells them 15 to a box and they were on sale last week so I stocked up with 3 boxes. One is already gone! Oh yeah, and within a week of finding out I was pregnant, my clothes just didn't fit the same. I guess my body is adjusting much quicker this 3rd time around. My selection of clothes right now is slim and I refuse to pull out maternity clothes right now!!! ;)

Moral of the story #1: Don't trust a test from the Dollar Tree.
#2: Celebrate with us the new life that God has blessed us with! We are so thankful!!!
We are moving from man to man to zone defense :)))
