Okay. I vacillate between being very overwhelmed and overjoyed a lot this week. Right now the overwhelmed part is winning. Dominic and I just found out that we will be welcoming another little McLaird into the world in July. This is our "Bonus Baby" Yes, I know I have been complaining a lot lately because I wanted another baby, and Dom was on the "not so much" side, but we hadn't been trying. We'd been trying to avoid but I guess God had other plans for our family, because (TMI Warning!!) He gave me a weird cycle and so now here we are.
In the end I will be happy, but right now I am just full of morning sickness, and not really wanting to be pregnant again. Pregnancy and I do not get along well. If I could have the baby with out the near puking for 3 months, I think I would be okay! :-) The boys are excited. Liam is vying for a sister (and a minivan of course!) Dom has told him that we will not get a van because our plan is to squeeze all three car seats in the back of our (paid off!) Saturn.
Now my prayer is that this baby comes into the world healthy and happy. I also am praying that I get one of those nice babies that sleep 4 hours straight starting at 2 weeks (God is God after all, why not ask for the big stuff!) I really don't know if I can handle a third colicky baby, it seems like it would be much more than my fair share! So yeah, that's the news that is news.
We are almost happy to be having a third child. Give us a few more weeks and I'm sure we'll be there at full on happiness, its just still a little too new yet, and we know well what lies ahead. God must really want more babies is the world right now! I am honored that He has given me another blessing, I guess I must be doing okay with the two I've got. ;-)

I can definitely understand feeling overwhelmed. Just remember God never gives us more than we can handle AND you will have another beautiful baby to love--there is nothing better. You will do great!
I always like to think God has big plans for unplanned, surprise babies...
I am so happy for you, Angela. Just keep thinking about all the hugs this new baby will give you someday and you will get through the morning sickness. I will petition St. Gerard for you!
WOW! Congratulations, Angela! (and Dominic, Liam & Fin) :) I'm really happy for you all & know you will make a wonderful family of 5 :) Good luck getting through this icky time!
Love you,
heidi anne :)
Oh You taught me a new word-vacillate, very good usage!!!
Congrats! I know how you feel about wanting one but Dom not being on the ban wagon, but then not really sure if you really want one. Anyway, Congratulations and maybe this morning sickness won't be so bad. The twins moms all said B6 worked wonders for that. Keep us all posted as the pregnancy moves along!
