Okay.

I was going to post about something else, but I know I would hear it from all of you. What? You're not going to tell us any more info. about your last post? Are you knocked up? Are you not? Is this a late April Fool's joke? The answer is.................

YES!!!!!, we are expecting in Nov. and are soooooo thrilled! We've been trying on and off since Sept. Not on and off because we couldn't decide if we wanted another child or not, but because of my best friend, Abbey's, wedding this fall and other random ski trips, etc. There were some obstacles we had to face, but we obviously over came all of them by now. I'll explain......

Since August, I haven't even had a period and they told me that I needed to cut back on running to get my body back in cycle. So, I cut back (a little), and it still didn't seem to change anything. Then more. And nothing. Finally, I said screw it all and went back to my old ways of doing 2 a days because I worked out just has hard before and while I was pregnant with Salem and didn't have these sorts of issues. Then, 2 days into our ski trip in Whistler, it happened! I finally had one and most likely, got pregnant immediately after. The same week I found out that we were +, they were going to do more testing on me and start hormones to see if my ovaries were even functioning properly. Thank goodness it never had to lead to that and I can't even explain to you how I am overjoyed with this pregnancy! It was like a weight had been lifted off of my shoulders when we found out because I was so stressed out thinking that there might be an issue. Now, my mind, body, and soul are at ease and I'm just loving my life and family!

I'm sure some of you are thinking (because a year and a half ago), I said that we most likely didn't want to have anymore children and that Salem was IT. Well, as time went on, we found ourselves talking and desiring to have another child, and by observing Salem, realized that she would make a wonderful big sister that could only benefit from having a sibling.

I have my first OB apt. with the doctor next friday and will keep you all posted. They will also be doing an ultrasound on me in 2 weeks to make sure I'm not further along because of the the womanly issues I had. AND READ THIS CLEARLY:

IN CASE YOU, OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW, ARE TRYING TO GET PREGNANT, I HAVE NEVER HAD A POSITIVE AT HOME PREGNANCY TEST WITH EITHER ONE OF MY CHILDREN. WITH SALEM, I TOOK 15....ALL -. WITH THIS ONE 11....ALL -. I EVEN TOOK ONE THIS PAST WEEK AND IT STILL SAID -, EVEN THOUGH I AM 2 MONTHS ALONG. I'VE TRIED EPT, CLEAR BLUE EASY, $1 GENERAL ONES,....IT DOESN'T MATTER. INFORM PEOPLE YOU KNOW TO CHECK WITH THEIR DOCTOR REGARDLESS. THE MORNING I FOUND OUT, I TOOK 3, WENT IN 1 HOUR LATER, DID BLOOD WORK, AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW, +++++++++!!!!!!!!!
