Just ONE!

When Tyler and I had our twins we were told that because they were our first and they were fraternal we had a very high chance of having multiples again. So being prepared for this we've waited until our kids are four to have anymore. Yes, we are pregnant! It's hard being excited about it right now, living with my head in the toilet and having zero energy, but I will be hopefully soon. Fortunately, unlike with the twins, I do have some good days which keep me going. We have had a lot of anxiety about our Dr. appt. that was on the 14th because that was when we were going to find out how many we were having and how much of out lives were going to change. We were stressing about the medical bills, (obviously) where we were going to put more than one, having to finish our basement this soon, getting a bigger car, and most importantly the problems that twins come with being preemie. But we are happy to announce that there is only one and we are relieved and excited about actually enjoying the baby years. I'm 15 weeks along and due October 10th. Yeah!

I wish you lived closer so I could help watch your kids. Carson would be in heaven and you could get some sleep!! It is no fun being sick! Hopefully it ends very very soon...I think you need to take a trip to CACHE VALLEY!!!!

Steph congrats! That is great news! I'm sorry your sick, oh how it brings back not fun memories (remember me throwing up all over your parents bathroom!) I hope you get feeling better soon! Let me know when your up for visitors, I'd love to come see you, whenever your ready. Maybe Marci and I could car pool!

Congratulations! That is exciting. I have a friend in the same situation as you, and she was just so thankful to only have one the second time around. Twins would be fun....but I can't imagine how much work!!! I hope you start feeling better soon!

Congrats! I've been waiting to ask you if you knew yet. One will be like cake after two! I hope you feel better and things go well. I'm still dying to see your house so next time I'm in Poky I'll have to drop by if your feeling up to it. We're so excited for you!

Jill said...

I have been wondering how the ultrasound went. I am sure you will be feeling better in no time :) Hang in there. I can take the kids for you anytime. My kids would love it.

Sara and Jacob said...

Yay!! I'm so excited for you!!! I'm so sorry that you're sick, but it's so awesome that you're not as sick as you were with the twins! I think it must be because Stacy's not here to jinx you like she did last time... :)

MeKell and Aaron said...

Yeah! Congrats, that is so fun, well not for you and your toilet, but that you are having another cute little one!! Hopefully the puking won't last much longer though!!

Melissa said...

Erica Bazil said...

Congratulations!!! Very wise to wait a little while before having another. I'll bet one baby will seem like a breeze, knowing no different than having two. Hope your little tikes are taking it easy on you and that you get feeling better soon! We're excited for you!

Congrats Steph! That is so exciting! New house and a new baby all in one year. That is impressive. Looks like you're going to need a cart attachement to you motorcycle to take all those kids along on your road trips.

Brenda said...

Congrat's. But I'm so sorry that you are not feeling well. I don't have twin's, but I can relate to being preggo with a demanding toddler.

Oh, and Oct. baby, that's awesome. Marisa was born on Oct. 27. And it wasn't too hot then either (compared to Evey, July 1st b-day). I hope you get feeling better soon.

Kassey said...

I'm so excite for you both. It's so fun to have that craving for another baby. On a side note...going through 3 pregnancies and throwing up all the time all over (pardon the term) I finally found something that has worked for me and 3 of my friends. Milk Thistle Weed! It a herbal supplement found at your local health & vitamin store. It is a supplement that is given to recovering alcoholics to cleanse their liver. Our hormone levels elevate and it's tough on our livers, not to mention all the other food polutiants we put in our bodies...We I have to say that after 4 weeks of non stop tiolet bowl visits one pills and it stopped. No more throwing up! I kept taking supplement for next 5 days and that was that. you can call me if you need more info. or would like a brand name. Try it don't knock it. 916-871-5469
