Then There Was Three

In Sept our little family will be growing to three kids! I'm still a getting over the shock of having three kids by the end of the year.
My whole life I've always wanted 4 kids, hubby didn't really want so many he always said maybe 3. After M he still wasn't sure about having at lest one more like I wanted, but we figured we'd wait a few years and talk about it again. After M turned 2 it seemed like 3 was out of the question. As we found out a few months ago God had other plans lol!

Right now I'm 16 weeks, I'm feeling pretty good, as long as I have lots of little snacks during the day. My biggest "issue" right now is my blood pressure, cuz of being pregnant I can't be on my blood pressure meds so that means I have a higher risk of my pressure dropping and fainting. I've seen my heart dr already and I just have to keep doing what I'm doing, but I also can't stand still for long periods of time(my limit is about 15mins before I feel faint). Right now that's my biggest challenge, I try and do the dishes when there is only a few, and dinners I try and keep simple things that I don't have to stand there and watch very much.

The kids seem pretty excited about the baby. I don't think M full understands yet. I got the baby a "dresser"(it's a three drawer plastic storage thing) and put some of her old toys in one of the drawers, and we talk about how everything in that is for the baby and now she'll say "That's for the baby". N is super cute about it. He always says "your baby", I think cuz his teacher is pregnant too and that's way. We've been talking about where the baby is going to sit in the car the last few days. Yesterday he told me "Mommy I want to sit in the middle so I can watch M and the baby and make sure she doesn't open the door". Then today he told me "Mommy I changed my mind. I think the baby should sit in the middle. I don't want her to open the door and fall out and get hurt." How sweet is that!?

Next friday we find out what we are having I'm so excited I can't wait! We are bring both the kids so that will be fun. N got to come when we found out about M so I wanted to make sure they could come this time too.
