October 6, 2021..expect the unexpected

  This onesie is very special. It says “there’s a rumbly in my mommy’s tumbly” and it’s the onesie we used to announce zoey joys pregnancy. & it just so happens to be Carolinas size for this new season of life! CAROLINA JUNE IS GOING TO BE A BIG SISTER! WE’RE HAVING ANOTHER BABY!

I love nana behind the tree haha 

Here’s the story. It’s short haha. I was having lightning inner uterine pains and thought I was fixin to start my cycle or maybe had endometriosis or even ovulation pains but I called Dane at work because I was having a hard time functioning! I couldn’t sit I couldn’t relax any muscles I was 100% tense. Here’s Carolina begging to nurse while I couldn’t even figure out how to sit haha 

 and he looked it up and said it could be a sign of early pregnancy…and I was like “I’m 98% sure I’m NOT” he knew I had an ovulation test and a pregnancy test he was like just take them so we can rule it out I was like ok and as I was taking then he had to go and hung up annnnnnd there was two lines as soon as I peed on the stick! We weren’t preventing anything because of our history trying to get pregnant before but I was tracking ovulation on a month to month basis (I’ve only had 3 cycles since Carolina was born) and that gave me a chance to decide how I felt about it because I would know…well God has a sense of humor because I never got a positive ovulation test! So imagine my shock when I saw a big fat positive test LOL

 I was like I honestly don’t even know when this happened. My reaction….well. Sorry future baby but I was hyperventilating and telling one of my best friends on the phone that I just don’t think I can love another baby like I love Carolina and wasn’t sure I could be happy. She assured me so much was going to change over the next nine months. I then called my mom and spoiled the news because well sometimes you need your mom haha I wanted her to leave work but she was too busy so I called on Nana! She finished her peanut butter toast and came to the rescue. They also both assured me I would love another baby. I know I care. Because within 20 minutes of knowing I called the dr so I could schedule my first ultrasound and I went and got bloodwork done the same day while nana watched Carolina. Dane was also reassuring … 

My sweet baby sleeping when I got back she was happy to see her mommy. & oh I was happy to see her! 

I think God knew it had to happen this way. I was content with our family of 3. I would have made myself sick trying to plan for when was the “right” time for another baby and how it would affect Carolina. I ached for Carolina I felt empty and hurt for her for a long time…I didn’t have time to ache for this baby my heart felt pretty full and so are my hands! I’ve got a ton of overwhelming confusing emotions but ready or not Baby Tibbetts is due June 2022! Yes…another June baby! We have been twice blessed. Dane Michael rubbed my belly as soon as we got in bed and said “hi baby!” And Carolina was next to us I said two babies! He said yep we have an innie and an outie haha The next morning Stephanie from Dr Faro called me back and progesterone is 21 hcg is 50! Progesterone is good I just have to repeat bloodwork in a few days to make sure hcg rises 

P.S. the Friday prior I had bought a test just because I was late which wasn’t abnormal since I’m still nursing and don’t get a cycle monthly. But I told Dane while we were shopping after I grabbed pads and a pregnancy test “I need one or the other!” And the test was NEGATIVE on that Friday.
