APPARENTLY is isn't so much of a surprise to anyone else, to Brooks and myself, this guest was indeed a surprise...........albeit a pleasant one.
(This is actually not a picture of MY baby. Anyone that knows me would know that I wouldn't have gone to the doctor yet! That would be silly.)
Even though it WAS a surprise we still got that excited feeling inside when we found out the news. I was so excited that after I took the test I ran into where my son was getting ready for school and said, "GUESS WHAT BRONSON! Mommy has a baby in her belly!!!!" The kids are soooo excited and think we can get a limo now (thanks to Daddy telling them)...but that's a WHOLE other post.
Famous 1st trimester quotes from the kiddos:
Bronson: "If the baby is only the size of a grape, how come your belly looks a LOT bigger?"
Camden: "How come you always go like this (makes a gagging sound) when you eat?"
Emerson: (while I was puking in the bathroom) "Quit being so noisy!"
He/She is due December 4th. Which makes me 11 weeks now. But we ALL know the grand appearance will probably come around mid-December as an early Christmas gift!
Thankfully, this last weekend, I STARTED feeling better. But I do have to share one quick story.
Smells were driving me nuts. I mean they were INTENSE and every room made me sick. So I told Brooks, " I know why Heavenly Father doesn't give us THIS much smell all the time, because he knew we couldn't ENJOY life!"
The next day, my nose was stuffed and I couldn't smell a thing. Heavenly Father was mindful enough of me to give me one day to recover before facing the smells again.
Okay, so this is little, but there have been quite a few little instances and prayers that have been answered for certain times that I didn't have a choice and I NEEDED a certain amount of energy or health. And for that allotted time, it was granted.
How INCREDIBLE to be on this journey with Him and to be a "co-creator" in bringing this new little one into our family.
I hope she/he knows what they're getting into...................

I hate throwing up worse than anything, so every time I got nauseous, I'd go and stick my head in the freezer until my nasal passages felt all frozen. But I guess a Heaven-sent cold would have been pretty effective also!
But seriously, how do you put all your kids in one vehicle? We're trying to buy a van and I can't find one with more than four latch points and I always keep thinking, "How does Melissa put all her kids in the car?" You're definitely gonna need a limo...or a Thatcher Dispatcher :)
What do you mean "suprise"? It's about time!!! Congrats!!!!
yay!! congrats!!

Yay!!!! So fun! You're going to pass us now! I'm hoping for twins still!!!
Good Luck Melissa!!!!!!!
