Life has been flying forward since Dominic's birth...we have gone through a flood in our house (on our wedding anniversary when Baby D was 6 months)...an emergency hospital surgery for Tyson 2 days before Christmas (darn appendix)...and we sunk a borrowed boat. Yeah, a little crazy I would say. But NOTHING can compare to what happened to our happy little family yesterday...Drummmmmmmm Rolllllllllllllllllllll please....
WE ARE PREGNANT!!!!!! <------ God has blessed us with our second baby and we did it au natural....
I think I'm 6 weeks 6 days today...our baby is the size of a blueberry which is also Dominic's favorite food. So I think the next 33 weeks I will refer to the 4th Franco as a blueberry...hehe.
"Big Daddy" and I are completely ecstatic, and to be honest I'm bursting at the seems with the desire to scream it from the roof tops...but we are keeping this our little secret for now. We just want to be sure everything is A OK before we share the incredible news with our family and friends. Our doctors appointment is in 3 days and I'm dying with anticipation...I hope we will get to hear the heartbeat...our blueberry just sprouted arms and legs this week...it's a very big week in his/her life....just like it is a life changing week in ours. Dominic is going to be a big brother and will have a best friend for LIFE! Everyone has told me that they knew someone who had gotten pregnant naturally after IVF and Tyson and I had decided that we would try for a year or so and then go get our frozen embies if we weren't successful. We had no idea that we would be this successful. My last Aunt Flow was not a nice one...it was the most extreme since before Dominic...I remember thinking, Gesh I hope these aren't like this every month, it's so much easier being pregnant. HAHA
God granted my wish, no more Aunt Flow for another year or so...I was officially 20 days late for my period and in those 20 days I started thinking I was pregnant...wishing and hoping we were...but thinking I was setting myself up for disappointment when I would pee on that stick. I peed on the last stick in the house a week ago and as we waited my heart felt like it would leap out of my chest....go figure, the test wasn't good and we called in for backup...my Mom picked us up another stick and I preceded to chug some water and let it flow again...this time it was an immediate negative. My heart sank...in the days to follow I had a few pregnancy symptoms that I remembered from Dominic...I was freezing cold at work (which is highly unusual), I ate almost an entire jar of pickles and they were amazing (I haven't bought pickles in months) and the big kicker was the 3 skinny cows in one day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) and 2 visits to the frozen yogurt store the next day...haha. Ty and I had date night on Sunday and we stopped for yogurt on the way home...I told him I had a confession to make, that this was my second trip to the yoway and "that is why I think I'm pregnant". Well Monday rolled around and once again, I decided to pee on a stick...but this time it was completely different. A BIG FAT POSITIVE came up. I was about to hyperventilate when Tyson called and I had to share the news because he kept questioning what was wrong...I had wanted to do a little surprise for him.., o well. We are going to do something cute to tell the family, like put D in a "big brother" shirt and take a picture or something....
And so I have decided that I will start blogging again so that baby #2 can know just how loved he/she is...our journey to our blueberry was a different one this time...and we are so thankful that God has blessed us...there is no other way to put it...we are so blessed!
Okay, this pregnant working (tax season) mamma needs to get to bed...Dominic has a fever for the first time, my poor precious baby.
Life is Amazing!
