Nowadays it seems we have control over so much of our lives; so when something happens unplanned it takes us by surprise.  My husband and I had many discussions on how many children we wanted to have and we were happy with just having 2 kids.
Then unexpectedly I was having symptoms of being pregnant.  After the pregnancy test showed up positive, my husband’s reaction said it all, “well ok here we go!”dreamstime_s_7099527
“Congratulations!” everyone would say to us, and my face probably showed my nervousness when I replied “thank you” as it’s taking me a bit longer to soak in the truth that yes we are having baby #3.  I’m already tired every day with my 3 year old and 2 year old taking over our apartment with daily messes, daily fights over taking naps and eating their food, and toys everywhere; how am I going to do this with another baby?
Then the small moments happen that I soak in and tell myself everything is going to be great.  My 2 year old will pretend to feed her baby doll.  My 3 year old will ask where mommy’s baby is and then rub my tummy.  Finally the best small moment happened yesterday, I felt the baby move in my tummy for the first time.  That small kick was just what I needed to embrace what I already know; life has a way of surprising you with unexpected things that will make you happier than you originally planned.
