And Baby Makes 5

I am now in my 24th week of pregnancy with baby #3. Or should I call this baby # Holy Crap How Did That Happen? Yes this little bundle of joy came as quite a surprise to us. I completely blame my husband though. This is a result of that weekend back in January when he surprised me with a two day home visit. I remember at the time telling him that I didn't think it was the best time of the month and then our laughing about it because yeah, right, sure...nothing will happen. Seems we forgot that the other two kiddies we have were both unplanned "how did this happen" babies. Then I think about my friends that are trying so hard to get pregnant and I realize that #1 we are so lucky and #2 we are jerks for laughing about the chances.
So baby #3 is a boy...which I knew it was going to be. I knew what the other two would be before ever getting an ultrasound. I'm not bragging...it's an intuition thingy that comes with being pregnant. At first we weren't going to find out the sex but I was so certain that it was a boy that I couldn't wait. So far things are progressing smoothly. Of course that is after three months of being sicker then I ever was with the other two and then a month of I gotta eat NOW! Hormones seems to have gotten under control a bit and now I am hungry but not eat a bear ravenous.
This baby is due October 24th. He'll be born a few days before that since it'll be a repeat c-section. The great thing is that his birthday will be a month after Henry's so I'll have a lot of baby boy clothes that can be reused. It's all about saving money! Of course I did start a Wal-Mart baby registry with bedding that I feel in love with and some items that we really do need. I keep saying we don't need a lot but the registry was 18 items long (now 16 since my mom bought the bedding and Ashley got the diaper bag). There are just a lot of cute items that match the bedding and blah blah blah.
On a different note...My husband is planning on switching companies at the end of the month. It won't get him home more often then the other company BUT it will cut out the five hours in the the car to pick him up!!! And that is five hours just to pick him up and get him home. We still have the five hour (round trip) to drop him off again. He'll be able to park in town which will save us time and MONEY on gas and food. Plus the kids hate all that time in the car and it cuts into our time spent with daddy.
Well after all that news I am tired and in need of a shower. Things to do and all that!
