Baby #3 on the Way!

The main reason I've not posted in so long is because shortly after Christmas I discovered I was pregnant again! I've been waiting to announce until the risky miscarriage period is over. Now I'm around 15 weeks pregnant and the last ultrasound showed a SINGLE healthy baby! My due date is September 1st!

I feel so happy to be pregnant again. John and I both decided we wanted another, although the timing was a tad unexpected! By the time this baby comes, the twins will be over two and a half and (hopefully) out of diapers. I expect that they'll be excited to have a new sibling.

I think this pregnancy will be different in some way from my last one. I don't expect to have to go on bed rest or anything, and I hope to only gain half the weight as last time. My goals are to be more active and go to yoga class throughout this pregnancy!

I sometimes worry I'll be in over my head with a third kid. Figuring out babysitters and transportation gets a lot more complicated! And our daily routines which have been working so well will be completely scrambled! But all in all I'm more excited than worried. 

The one thing that sucks is the whole Zika thing. I check reports every couple days to make sure there's not an outbreak near AZ. So far there's been zero reported cases in AZ, which is a relief. We've taken some percautions like installing mosquto zappers around the house, but I probably won't start bathing in bug spray until there's been at least one report of local transmission near AZ.

Beyond my new pregnancy, life is great! The twins are little chatterboxes! It's so fun to have conversations with them using real sentences. My garden is looking good (separate post on that pending!). Work is good too! I'm pretty busy at work but I'm still able to stick to a 40 hr work week :). So all in all I really have no complaints!
