The best laid plans

You know when you have a plan, a set plan, you are all on board and that's just how its going to be?  You are even taking measures to ensure it works out that way?  Sometimes even the best laid plans don't work out.  Because our plan isn't necessarily THE plan.  Sometimes someone else has a better plan that you don't even know about and get completely surprised by.  That happens sometimes.  It happened to us last week.

Yup.  You read that right.  I'm pregnant!  We're all still in a little state of shock over here!  The boys aren't sure what to think and its honestly very surreal to me.  I feel guilty that I wasn't instantly excited but it was a complete surprise.  My wonderful husband has been..well wonderful and keeps saying that things like this happen for a reason.  He's right :)  I'm excited to see what another child will be like, what kind of personality will he/she/it have, will it have Landen's crazy curly mop or Owen's perfectly straight surfer hair....

This was my first ultrasound this past Thursday (so March 3,2011).  We are very very early, she estimated 4-5 weeks.  My edd right now is November 1, 2011 but will likely change at my next ultrasound on March 16.  Right now we have a "chicken egg" as Patrick so lovingly named it. 

So right now we're all getting used to the idea...looking around our small house and thinking, it'll work.  Wondering how another child will change the family and change us.  We are getting excited.
