Details

So now that I have made my announcement I thought I would give you more details on this new baby.
We didn't plan on getting pregnant right now. We do want more kids but the plan was for this summer to buy a new bigger house in West Jordan so we could be closer to family. Then get settled in the new house and when we felt we had things under control we would start trying. Well a few months ago I started feeling like someone was missing which is usually my sign it is time for a new baby. I do a head count and we have everyone but it really feels like someone is not there. A few days before I found out I was pregnant I was at my parents house and I went into check on the kids and all 3 of them were playing in the play room and then I started heading down stairs to check on the baby, I stopped all of a sudden and said "WHAT BABY?!!" It was really weird. When I first started having these feelings I thought "Are you crazy. That would be stupid to have another baby right now" but because they were so strong I had a feeling we would get pregnant whether we planned it or not. You don't tell God "no" when he tells you to have another baby, he has ultimate control over that. So during the Bradshaw Christmas party I noticed I was really really tired so when Isaac went to the store the next day I decided to have him pick up a pregnancy test just to make sure. I took it right after he left for work, I really didn't think it would be positive so I figured he didn't need to be there. Well it shocked the crap out of me when it was positive. I had to tell Isaac over texting while he was at work. This was the day before Christmas Eve so we told a lot of the family on Christmas day. We put it in the card on my parents gift and when my mom read it she started to cry and hugged me, my dad had no idea what was going on. He kept saying "What?" my mom had to point it out to him. Carlye's reaction was priceless. I really wished I had a camera. She was telling me that if I needed any medicine to let her get it for me because of her medical spending account thing she needed to use up and I said "Like Prenatal vitamins?" And she started tell me yes and then stopped and made the best surprised face I have ever seen!
We told Hazel a few days ago. We sat with her and watched her birth video that Chris made, it is the sweetest video it makes me cry every time I watch it. I should post it sometime (don't worry there is no gross stuff in it). Then we looked at her baby book and then we told her. The first thing she said was "What" and it was not a good "what". But she now seems happy about it. She has already started putting her hand on my belly while she watches tv. She has already decided it is a girl. The other day she said "You know I have two pillows on my bed, the baby can just sleep in my bed with me." It was really cute.
I have already had my first doctors appointment and it seems that everything is going well. I was having some spotting, he said he thought it was probably just the placenta attaching but he said if it didn't stop by eight weeks he wanted me to have an ultra sound but it has stopped now so no ultra sound yet. I already have a good sized baby bump going on. The twins ruined my stomach muscles so pretty much as soon as I took the pregnancy test my stomach muscles just gave up without putting up a fight. I am also nauseated all the time! I have only thrown up twice but I am always feeling like I am about to. I hate the first trimester. I am also exhausted. I don't remember ever being this tired with a pregnancy. I have to take a nap during the day and then I fall asleep early at night too. I am also having sciatica nerve pain already too. It is literally a pain in the butt. When I bend over or move a certain way I get a shock of pain down one butt cheek. And then it usually aches for a while. I guess all these things are good because it means the baby is healthy and growing, but it sure does make my life miserable right now.
Anyways I am due September 5th. I don't want another C section so my doctor says I have to go into labor on my own to reduce the risk of my uterus rupturing. I am hoping this works out with the Salt Lake Film Festival. I get an all access pass this year because I do the blog. And Chris says he is going to try to show one of Patton Oswalt's old movies Death Bed and he is going to try to get him to come to the Festival. He is Spence on King of Queens and does the voice of Remy on Ratatouille. I really want to be there for it but it is probably going to be in the middle of August so we will see.
I will make sure to keep you updated on this pregnancy right now I am just fat and tired and sick but happy and excited.
