Yep, you read that right. Baby number 3 is on it's way and we have lovingly named this one "Dragonfly". I didn't want this one to be left out so we thought we'd continue the bug theme. Some of the important info: I am about 7 weeks along. My due date is unofficially February 25th, so it's a toss up whether we have a February or March baby. By my track record, I would put my money on an early delivery. I haven't seen my dr yet, but will update with new information as we get it. I do know that my doctor will still consider this pregnancy high risk since I've had 2 previous high risk deliveries. So, we'll get to do a lot of cautionary testing and ultrasounds. I was really thankful for those since that's how Evan's dilated umbilical cord was detected. For those of you who don't remember/don't know, at a routine screen when I was 37 weeks was when they spotted an abnormality on his ultrasound. My dr made the decision that Evan would be safer out of my womb than in it, so he made an early appearance. The only reason I was being watched so carefully was because of what happened to our little girl. If it weren't for her, Evan's abnormality may have gone unnoticed. I don't even want to think of what could have happened to him. I'm very thankful for my excellent medical care and will be very appreciative of the extra attention we receive this time around also.
Of course we are SO thankful for little dragonfly but we are cautiously excited. We know how long it takes for a little one to become strong enough to join us on the outside world and are taking this pregnancy a day at a time. Please keep our baby in your prayers that he/she will join us healthy and happy.
And, since we have been asked multiple times already and I know you're just itching to ask... YES, this baby was planned and YES we are crazy :)
