This morning I took a home pregnancy test and the results were positive! It was just Amelia and I in the room and I have yet to tell anyone. We are just three days away from Christmas and I want to announce it to our small family all wrapped up in pretty Christmas paper. I've never had to keep such a secret for so long and it's about killing me. Twice I almost told Dad and I even called Aunt Amy to tell her, but I held out and was strong.
I'm beyond thrilled! I didn't expect this miracle to happen so sudden. Just two months! As of today our newest little addition is only a size of a poppy seed, yet I he/she has consumed my thoughts for nearly 18 hours. Already I've wondered what this third baby will look like, what his/her personality will be like and I've tried picturing our life with another sweet baby. All of this makes me thrilled beyond belief.
I've been very anxious for Christmas this year. Its been magical watching Eleanor's excitement these past few weeks and I know Amelia is going to enjoy all the wrapping paper and maybe even a few toys. But now, after finding out this precious secret, I really can not wait for Christmas. I'm like a 6 year old girl all over again.
I will forever remember this baby as my little Christmas miracle. I really am so thankful to Heavenly Father for allowing me to bring this child to earth. What a grand blessing and responsibility. I feel so blessed.
I am actually really looking forward to the next nine months and will be anxiously awaiting the arrival of our newest addition on August 31st.
Love,
Mom.
