Finishing the Family

Some may wonder why we've been moving Kyson, well the answer is because we're preparing to finish our family. Today we found out that I'm pregnant, and this will be the last time we go through this experience. This has been a very planned event since last year. We decided after my "time" in January, we would begin trying for our last child. I found out I was pregnant this afternoon. We are elated, but I can't help but think about the long miserable pregnancy that is ahead of me. I pray that this time is nothing like Kyson's.

We weren't planning on telling anyone but our family, but because we use this blog as a way of journaling, I thought it best to record it. If you work with me, however, please don't say anything. I will not be telling my boss or my students for some time. My due date is October 15.

I'm grateful that I got pregnant so quickly because Kris' job is doing lay-offs. I had been praying to know if it was right to go ahead with our intended plan of trying in January because of the potential risk of Kris losing his job, and with that, our insurance. But I felt like if I got pregnant this month, everything would be okay. If I didn't, it wasn't the right time. Apparently, all will be fine and I'm so grateful. Ironically, a few days after we found out about being pregnant, Kris moved up in seniority.

Oh wow! Congratulations, Kelli! Did you know that Nicolette is pregnant as well and so is Amanda Haws (another prn team leader that maybe you don't see very often). How exciting! And here's to a smoother and less stressful pregnancy! (and don't worry, i won't say anything)

Oh, Kelli that is great news! Because I am unaware of how hard your first pregnancy was, I really hope things go well for you. What an exciting time for your family. And good news for Kris and his job as well!

Hurray and Congrats! I am happy for you and Kris. I hope this pregnancy is a little smoother for you, than the last one. Are you staying at TA after the baby is born? I hope so!

Congratulations! I hear you on the miserable pregnancy thing. Best of luck. Hopefully the time will fly by and all of a sudden you'll have a baby, and then you'll be doing the zombie thing for a while until the baby figures out the night sleep thing!!! :)
