Amazing....

A little over 2 years ago, I posted that life is funny sometimes.  You just never know what to expect....especially when you least expect it.  Well it has happened once again in the Cahalan Clan.

That's right....I'm pregnant!  Who would have ever guessed?  Not me that's for sure.  What a miracle we have been blessed with in our lives.  This was completely unexpected.  So 2013 is going to be a busy one in our family.  New house, new baby.....

This is the reveal video we showed to family and friends:

To update my pregnancy so far, I'm now about 12 weeks along.  I have had pretty bad morning sickness but  it is starting to fad some - thank goodness.  I'm not showing yet and have not felt any flutters which is all normal to this point.  I will be having a repeat c-section around July 16-17, 2013.  Dominic and Luke want a sister so bad they can hardly stand it.  We have told them we have no control over the gender of the baby - personally I think it is a boy.  When I ask Isaac, "Where's the baby?"  He runs and points to my belly and says, "Rit ther" and blows kisses.  We never thought he would be a big brother and I think he is going to be an awesome one!

We have already been discussing names.  Again, the girl name is easy - same one for the past 3 boys - Delaney Nicole.  We have been throwing out boy name suggestions and the current leader is Jude Andrew.

Mark is insisting we stay team green (which means waiting for a surprise in gender until delivery) but Dominic, Luke and, I want to find out.  I want to know so I can start going to garage sales, etc., since we have nothing left from Isaac that he isn't currently using.

Isaac is still rooming in with us at the moment.  But all that will change soon when the big boys get their bunk beds in a few weeks.  The plan is for Dominic and Luke to share a room until June or so.  Then Dominic will move downstairs to his own room and Isaac will move in with Luke.  That makes room for the baby to have a room and the crib.

In the new house, Dominic will start off with his own room (being the oldest has advantages!), Luke and Isaac will share for a a few years, and the baby will have his/her own room.  If the baby is a boy, we told Luke that when the baby is 2-3 years old, then Isaac and the baby can share and he can have a room by himself again.  By that point though, Dominic will probably want to move into the guest bedroom that will be downstairs.

Here's to a very exciting and busy 2013!
