Pregnancy Diary: First Ultrasound for Baby #3

Thursday June 27th, 2024

Okay, I was able to have an ultrasound today to try and figure out how far along I am! First of all, let’s just take a moment to laugh about the fact that I had to go at 12:30 pm (Mordecai’s nap time!) with both kids and Mordecai did not want me to set him down. Poor buddy. He was such a champ through what was probably a confusing and tiring afternoon for him.

Anyways, we were able to see a yolk sac in my uterus! This is good news because the sac was in the right place. The ultrasound tech thinks I’m around 5 weeks and 3 days. So, very early on! I think I would be due in March?

Pregnancy Diary: Finding Out About Baby #3

Welcome to my first pregnancy diary post for baby #3! These are a series of posts written throughout my pregnancy that are just stream of consciousness-style writing about the emotional and physical journey through the blessing of carrying our child! This first post was written the day I found out I was expecting, so it’s truly all over the place! Thanks for joining me on this journey 🙂

So… I’m pregnant for the third time! Is this even real life? I was not expecting to be pregnant when I took a test today. I just didn’t really have any inkling that I was expecting except for the fact that I had a weird, bitter taste in my mouth yesterday and today.

This morning, the kids and I went to our favorite place: the creek. It’s a trail near our house with a beautiful creek. We had such a nice morning. Sadie got stung by a bee on her foot yesterday and didn’t want to walk, so she sat in the stroller and held Mordecai on her lap. The weather was perfect (70s and sunny) and the kids were happy just throwing rocks in the water. I felt so content! My heart was full just doing the mom thing with my precious children.
