Hot Air Ballooning!
Anybody else have a bucket list? I do! One of the things that has always been on my bucket list is to ride in a hot air balloon. Why? Who knows? Prob because I really want to go sky diving but I am too big of a wimp and am scared of breaking my neck, so a hot air balloon seemed like the next best thing. I actually got Eric a groupon to go for his birthday about a year ago, even though I was the one who really wanted to go. I then was too freaked out to even book the ride, until it was about to expire. We ended up going just a few days after I found out I was pregnant. The ride was a lot of fun, but know quite as thrilling as I thought it would be. I thought we would actually travel a distance in the balloon but we really just went strait up and down. It was also kind of crowded in the basket and hot from the hot air, but overall it was really fun. There were some BEAUTIFUL views from up high. I just love trying new things with my hubby!

Well...its true! Baby number #3 is on the way! After 3 years, we finally got up enough courage to try again. I have pretty much been terrified of pregnancy since the twins, but we are excited to start this venture again.
I actually found out I was pregnant on Halloween of this year. We had already been trying for about six months, so I wasn't really expecting to actually be pregnant. I wansn't even late, but was supposed to start soon and I happened to have a pregnancy test at home. I remember hanging out with the kids and thinking, what the heck I will just take one for fun, I know it will be negative. Took the test....came back PREGNANT!! I was kind of in shock. Took another one for good measure, and it came back positive again. Its funny how even though you have been trying for something and wanting to be pregnant, when you find out you still get that flood of emotions from excitment to what the - did I get myself into? lol.
So with the twins, I could not hold in the fact that I was pregnant. I had always dreamed of telling my husband in a special way, but with the twins I was so freaked all I could do was send a text saying, "you have to come for lunch, we need to talk." Eric knew right away and texted back that I was pregnant. This time I was hoping to be more unique... I was actually able to somehow keep in that I was pregnant until the weekend. That Friday night I planned a picnic by the lake with eric and the twins. My little sister, Calli, also happened to be there. Halfway through the dinner I asked Calli to take a picture of our family by the lake. Instead of having it on picture, I had the camera set to video. Calli said, "say cheese" and I yelled, "I'm pregnant!" It was funny because Eric didn't believe me and thought I was just joking around to make him laugh. It took him a few minutes to get that I was serious, but it was pretty funny!
Anyways, we are really excited to be expecting again. We have also been scared, but are relieved now that we know it is JUST ONE! I am also being followed by the high risk doctors this time, which is reassuring. Excited to see how this pregnancy goes!
