Ok.. So there has been no "official" test... But I think the little girl I had been dreaming about is sitting comfortably in my uterus right now.
Yes, there is always a chance it could still be a boy, but given the fact that I am sicker than I have ever been with any of my pregnancies AND a strong mothers instinct, I am willing to bet $100 this sucker will be proudly displaying three lines at her first ultrasound.

Over the Moon
Yes. I am pregnant... I am not one for huge announcements (aka facebook)... But yes... I am pregnant.
I loved documenting the last pregnancy, so I thought I would take stab at documenting another.
So here is the story...
Kory and I desperately wanted another baby. Although three kids has been totally ideal, I had a deep feeling another girl was needing to join our mix.
Unfortunately, it just did not happen the way we thought. I never had an issue getting pregnant in the past... In fact, it was something we even laughed about, but this time around...It was much more difficult than we anticipated. Minus the few months I was on a strong medication for a GI issue I was experiencing, we tried for a year to get pregnant without any success. To make the situation worse, I started to display symptoms of endometrosis, which as many of you know, makes conception even more difficult and probably the reason for my infertility. In addition, the symptoms endometrosis consisted of severe bleeding and pain during my cycle... So instead of trying to get pregnant, we were talking about ways to end the fertility stage of my life in its entirety.
I was heartbroken. As I said before, I had a feeling we were suppose to add on another girl, but the stars were just not aligning in the way we had hoped.
That being said, after some time of grief, I decided to move on and live life to the fullest with the three kids I had. And let me just say, I was starting to really like being done with the "baby stage." I depleting our baby gear, getting in a great schedule with more "big kid" activities, and looking forward into starting my masters degree once Fletcher began preschool.
Then this happened.
It took me a few more test for me to actually believe what I was seeing... But nevertheless... THEY ALL CAME BACK POSITIVE!
Its weird... As much as I accepted the fact that the "baby stage" was over for our family... The news never had me mourning for the "baby free life"... I am probably more excited now than I have for any of my pregnancies. Not because my other children were any less meaningful, but after a year of trying and enduring the edometroisis, I knew this was a miracle!
