    So... just three months after quitting breastfeeding the boys, and one month after moving 2500 miles away from home.... we're pregnant! Should be due April 1st - my mom's Birthday! Tycho and Kepler will be 2.5 years old. Phew, can I handle it?!?

    We were open to another baby, but really really didn't expect anything to happen without outside intervention. So woohoo! I feel so freaking normal!

    With the twins, I actually lost about 20 lbs during the nausea phase, but I hope this time I'm a little more in tune with my body and keep on top of when my blood sugar dips. I've been just exhausted, I feel like a parasite. Lol. I've also been craving fruits, but it's been mostly to keep me from getting nauseous.

    Our first appointment is this week. Hubby's expecting an ultrasound, but I think he's used to "the twin treatment." :)

    Congrats!

    I convinced them to do an u/s b/c of our history of twins and my dates were off. :)

    Where did you guys move to?

    Congrats! I agree with Michelle - I expect if you ask for an u/s to confirm how many are in there or to confirm your dates, they'll be happy to.

    Congratulations! Three kids under the age of three is tough but definitely doable... you CAN do it!! With my twin pregnancy, I had an ultrasound at my very first visit without having to ask (9 weeks), which is when we found out there were 2. I assumed the same thing with my second pregnancy but they told me I had to have an appointment. Had I known that, I could have made it the same day as my checkup... instead, I had to wait another whole week to find out if there were one or two babies... the looooooongest week ever!

    Congrats again, and enjoy the ride!!

    Congrats! I always asked for an u/s after my twin pregnancy. A headcount is a must :)

    Congrats! I had to wait until 12 weeks to find out if there was just one more. I requested it and my Dr. was more than happy to calm my fears. Yep, only one! So definitely ask for one.

    CONGRATS!!!! I am very excited for you. I had 3 kids under 3 ( I had a 6 year old, a 3 year old and two newborns) and it wasn't bad at all. Best wishes!!
