I just thought I would write a little bit about the pregnancy so far. In a previous post about my marriage, I was talking about how Robb and I had a disagreement, but after some talking we came to a resolution to agree to disagree. We were butting heads about having another child. I wanted another and he didn't. But after we talked about exactly why he didn't want another one, and things I and us as a family could do better to make our lives easier, he seemed to be at least a little more open to the idea. Of course we were talking next year about possibly having another one.
Well, we do NFP so I know how and how not to get pregnant. Robb always keeps up very well with my charts, so there is no misinformation between us. So as you can guess, there was a night that where the conversation was 'are we in the safe zone still?' and I said 'no, not really'. Well, since I chart, I also kinda know before I take a pregnancy test that I am pregnant. About a weeek and a half after that converstation my chart in no way looked like a pregnant woman's chart, so there was a big sigh of relief from me that even though we cut it kinda close, I still didn't get pregnant. Boy was I wrong, by the time I was due to start my period I was feeling blah. I took a test just to make sure even though I knew what my chart looked like, and it was a big fat positive, obviously.
I was concerned with how Robb was going to feel, but I didn't give myself time to ponder it, I went ahead and called him into the bathroom to show him the test. 'Here it comes' I thought and to much surprise he was actually excited about it! More excited about it than me at first actually. His reaction totally took me off guard, but that man loves kids! As long as he gets to go fishing once a week, he is good to go.
So yeah, we are both really excited! This will be the last baby though, and I am totally ok with that. I seriously think that 4 is my personal limit anyway, and I know it is Robb's. I am really just going to enjoy this pregnancy and not try to wish it away.

You're an amazing woman and Mom, I love you
Enjoy it. Relish every moment.
Incidentally, I told Connor this morning that B, J and R are getting a new brother or sister, and he said, "It's a sister." He's pretty intuitive about these things. He was dead on with our own surprise pregnancy, otherwise known as Miss Mia!
