Baby Number 3

So... I have been known to not tell people I am pregnant until I know what the sex is, and in my 3rd trimester. This time is a bit different.

I have known I wanted another baby for a while, it has seemed weird to have such a big gap. Well, with everything going on I was even beginning to think our family was complete. When we got to Nellis and moved into temporary housing I spent more then half my time in prayer. I was so confused. I knew we were where we needed to be... but everything else was a jumble. We were looking at renting and buying off base, Told if we moved on base we would have to wait MONTHS and then more then likely end up in old housing that was really run down. We also knew that we would get a 3 bedroom... which would be fine, except we knew if we had more kids we would have 2... and probably both in the next4 years. So... what the heck were we supposed to do???

I really felt like we needed to live on base, but I was horrified of the wait and being in limbo even longer. We pre-qualified for a loan and seriously started house hunting. Randy was given 8 days to house hunt, so we began our hunt. January 7th. This was only 10 days after we got here.

Well, The night before Randy started leave I was late... about a week, but I had decided I was moving, and stressed so I wasn't to worried. But we decided to check to make sure it wasn't the other... well, I took 2 test and passed them both. The next day we looked at 10 houses, with none of them feeling right, and that afternoon we walked into the military housing office just to see exactly how long the wait was.

We learned that there was NO wait. We could move into a 3 or 4 bedroom first thing Monday! We mentioned that we had JUST found out that we were pregnant and hadn't been to a doctor. They said that with no wait list they would take our word and move us into a 4 bedroom....

So, answers to 2 prayers: where to live, and what to do about our family size. I wanted to cry I felt so blessed. All these months of worry and confusion, but still knowing we were doing the right thing. And it worked out so well and easy. I was just so amazed.

Well, complete strangers were figuring out that with 2 kids the only way we would have gotten into a 4 bed room was if I had Killed a rabbit.... so That is why we are announcing so early. Not only are the people we care most about away from us, but it just doesn't seem fair that people we just met know and our friends didn't.

Now, my only worry is that Kimber has been praying for Twins, a boy and a girl.... still to be determined.

I am due sometime around September 7th... we think it would be fun to have the baby on 9-10-11... but by time I am that far along I know I wont care. So wish me luck!
