A new baby is on the way!

  Even though we were not expecting this baby Jeff and I couldn't be happier. We were trying for a while and had finally decided that we were OK with just Jared. I set the appointment to go in and get permanent birth control. I was finally OK with not having a sibling for Jared to grow up with.  

  On April 12th I was late for my period but didn't think anything about it since my cycles had been messed up for quite a while. That night I had a dream that I took a test and it came back positive in seconds. When I woke up I couldn't fall back asleep. I mean really! So I had a test sitting in the cabinet left over from when we were trying to have another. So I took it. It came back negative and I was finally able to calmly fall back asleep. No worries! Jeff and I were only together once and it wasn't "the right time of the month". On the 16th of April I noticed that my hair had stopped falling out and when I measured for new bra's I was much bigger busted than just a few weeks prior. So when grocery shopping I picked up a single test to take in the morning. My appointment was April 18th so I wanted to be reassured. Morning of April 17th I take the test and well there was no denying the results. Positive. I made Jeff look at it to make sure I wasn't imagining it. I did the math and I must have ovulated extremely late in my cycle because I got pregnant 5 days before my period was due. Giving me the Due Date of December 23rd! A Christmas Baby! I will admit I am praying for a boy but I will be happy with whatever I am given.
