Who Needs a Physical Test...

...when you have God giving you the answers.

Well I teased a little over here in a comment yesterday, and actually one myself my first ever giveaway. So here is the story.

Hubby and I decided that we wanted to start trying for a third baby. I thought that it would be okay to get pregnant in the fall so I could go on roller coaster rides at Hershey Park this summer and get in the hot tub at the beach in September. You know things I can't enjoy if I'm pregnant.

Well this past week, I was supposed to get a visit from my aunt Flo (you know what I mean). And she somewhat surprised us by not showing up. Its a good thing though because I was feeling really tired and irritated all weekend. I can't imagine having to entertain the way I was feeling. I know...what does this have to do with being pregnant.

So Hubby and I were pretty certain that there was something more going on. Sunday, Hubby decides to pray the following prayer: "Lord, if Thrills is pregnant, I need a raise." You know we can't fit 3 car seats in the back of our car. So we need to be able to buy a van - uuuggghhhh! After being promised a raise a year and a half ago, he received that raise on Monday!!!

We decided maybe I should go buy a test to find out "for sure" - like we didn't already know. Sure enough, there were TWO lines!!!

So my accountant husband and I will be welcoming a new baby into our home next....APRIL 16thish!!!!!!!!!!! How's that for planning? Hubby says if it's a boy his name is Debit, if it's a girl her name is Credit.

Congrats, congrats, congrats! So happy for you all - the baby, the raise, the van :) Don't worry about being a minivan mom - you can still ROCK THE HOUSE :) I do all the time. Just ask my kids. Well, don't ask Shaggy or Dr. D. They'll just roll their eyes at you. But LadyBug and BBE think I rock, still :) :)

Oh...:) Apryl was born on April 15.

Congratulations!! Way to go with the timing though..I'm due Dec 11, so Honey is happy that Hunting season will be just ending!
Good luck with the mini-van. (I opted for a Suburban...)

So cool! Hmm, I guess you did have a "glow" when I saw you this morning. May you get lots of rest these early weeks when you need it, and have a smooth pregnancy all the way. I love my minivan, and I don't care a bit if it's not cool enough for others.

The Aunt Flo threw me for a moment....duh.

Yippee!! Welcome to the world of being forever outnumbered....it's pretty amazing!

Trish said...

I'm back, but this time with a little something for you. Stop by and pick it up!

CONGRATS! TCC told me the awesome news yesterday! I still have to get that one red shirt back to you! Do you need any other types of clothes - let me/TCC know!

I really like the minivan so far...yes, I have only had it for about 12 hours, but it is great! I cannot wait to drive it! I can let you know where we got ours from - you may want to go that route too.

Mrs. C said...

Congrats. From your story I would say that Aunt Flo has everything to do with whether you are pregnant or not. :)

I am so happy for you!

What wonderful news!! I've been driving a van now for five and a half years now and I'll never quite get over it. But nevertheless, it fits three carseats! Congrats!

This is awesome! And I especially can appreciate the names selection by Hubby. LOL.

Of course, we have a mini-van that according to Jr. is a "fast car"! He asks me all the time "fast car, Daddy?" I think it is fast and cool too. Especially, the cool cargo ;>) They are the best...
