Playful Rooted

Hello, all!

Happy Monday, happy February, and happy news from over here!

Baby. Number. Three. WHAT?!

Are you surprised? Yup, me too! After the year-long, difficult journeys it took to get pregnant with both big boys, I never ever ever thought I’d be someone who got pregnant without a lot of hard work and doctor’s appointments and sacrifice and stress. But here we are! All it took this time was a glorious trip to sun-soaked Hawaii. 😉

I’m thrilled and excited and still pretty shocked and definitely deeply afraid. Three children, you guys. !! Three. Children.

I’m fourteen weeks along and finally out of that dreadful first trimester. It’s never fun feeling hungover from sunrise to sunset for months on end, and it’s even less fun with two small kids to take care of. This has certainly been my roughest pregnancy so far. I’m starting to feel a teeny tiny bit more like myself the past couple weeks, but I already know that this little one is our grand finale. After Sawyer, I was pretty wishy-washy on whether we’d ever have another one day….this time, I’m extremely sure that this is the last one!

Ben is over the moon, Luca is ecstatic, and Sawyer just has no idea what’s in store for our family in about six months. 😉 There are lots of big adjustments coming our way, and I’m definitely nervous and worried for many different reasons! But ultimately, I know it’s a wonderful thing and this baby will be a huge blessing for our family. Despite the emotional roller coaster and physical discomfort, I feel so much gratitude and joy, and I can’t wait to meet our new baby.

But seriously. Send wine coffee prayers. 😉

xo!
