Oh Baby!

Baby-Cakes #3 is on the way!


I'm due June 3rd, so that makes me a little over 11 weeks....which is practically 12 weeks right?! (In pregnant lady land I like to round up. You know, round down when you're telling your husband how much you spent on your new shoes....round up when you're telling how far along you are.) So far, so good. I'm feeling like poo, just like I should, and the baby looks great! And my body is already in full expansion mode. I was walking out of Walmart a week or so ago and my pants button popped open! And it's not like it was a snap button! (Do they even make those for adults?)

Sorry for the super impersonal way of telling some of you. Remember, I'm not feeling so hot. I've been in a major funk and my energy level is pretty much next to nothing. So that is my excuse. And I totally would have told sooner (I usually do), but I had to wait and convince/force a certain somebody to tell family members before our drive to the hospital to deliver the baby.

We are all pretty thrilled around here. Reese loves sitting on my lap and listening as I read the weekly emails out loud from Baby Center (Yes I still read and LOVE those!). She asks me to read the same one several times. And Claire, although she hasn't got a clue, likes to pull out the top of my shirt and look down and say, "Baby!" Being pregnant really is exciting to me and it's not any less exciting this time around! I've said this before, but each little one is such a miracle and I just can't and don't take it for granted.

WOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I'm so excited for you. And you KNOW it's a boy, right? I'm sorry you're feeling so crummy - I hope it passes soon. How exciting for your girls too! Yay for the Bjorkman family!!!So many people have told me that three is the hardest transition, but honestly (aside from our struggles with nursing) it hasn't been bad at all. So far the transition to ONE was still my hardest!

Congrats!

That's wonderful. Congrats! And you have no energy on your third child with two little ones running around. Imagine that. I hope you start feeling better soon. The 2nd trimester looms.

So HAPPY for you! Yesterday I thought you might be, but did not want to ask. It is awesome! Want me to call about VT?...since you need your rest!

Derek and Becky said...

Congratulations you guys. So sad I won't be there to see this little one. I know you blog about the new addition to your family so that will have to do. Love You.

Congratulations, Bjorkmans! New babies are always so exciting! And I too love Baby Center. I couldn't ever figure out how to set it up to get updates for my second and third babies, but I STILL get updates for Rebecca like: "Your Almost 6-year-old and School". I'll have to have you help me set it up when I have baby #4 in 10 years. I'm so happy for you guys!

Marissa Marie said...

Ha, I had my suspicions when you said in a previous post you didn't have the energy right now to do something or other, can't remember. But congrats! Hope the poo phase passes quickly....

Kari Clark said...

Congrats! How exciting!!!

Emily said...

So sorry you feel like poo, but happy you've got a reason for it:-)
That baby is going to be sooo cute - how can it NOT be, right?
Let me know if you need a quick lesson on how to change a " boy's" diaper. LOL!

Elizabeth said...

Congratulations Rachel! How wonderful for you and your family to have a brand new bubba in the family. I hope you feel better soon.
PS I hated being pregnant and would ALWAYS round up... (didnt make it go any quicker ;-)

Yay! What fun news to come across! Congratulations, three is so fun. I love it!

It's Been a Day! said...

congrats!! such exciting news!!! and i've been meaning to say congrats for a while since a few blog posts ago you had mentioned that #3 was on its way but i'm just a little late!! You will love having 3.

Marisa said...

Yay!!!! Congrats!! That is such exciting news. I am so with you on rounding up. I feel so much bigger this time around and my buttons were also popping a lot sooner than with the other two....so for that first trimester or two I would always round up a week or so :). It made me feel less huge...crazy, right? You and Tom sure do make some beautiful, darling kiddos and this baby will be so lucky to have you guys as parents! I'm so excited to have two of our kiddos be in the same grade! I'll root for a boy so our babies can be best friends when you move next door to me SOON!

Russ and Nat said...

Congrats! I am way excited for you!! I hope you have a boy and then we will follow suit.

Julie T. said...

What a lucky baby to get to come to your family! I hope you start feeling better soon! Can't wait to find out if it is a he or a she!!

Congrats!!! So excited for you!!!

Amy said...

Oh darn, I thought maybe you were announcing the gender, but that's still a ways away, I guess (always goes faster in other people's minds, right?). Can't wait to hear all about it. Hope you get a boy this time, but if it's another girl, you guys are pros. And you certainly make them so pretty. ;)

Stephanie said...

Congratulations Rachel and Tom (and of course Reese and Claire also)! That is exciting news.
