Those 3 minutes (that felt like a lifetime I might add) were spent staring at this small white piece of plastic just waiting and watching to see how many lines appeared but not wanting to know at the same time. It is amazing at how many thoughts can go through your mind during this time. What if it’s positive? Does some part of me want it to be? Surely not but possibly. Still waiting…. Will I be disappointed if it’s positive? No it would just be surprising. Oh what am I thinking it’s going to be negative! I am on the pill; obviously I’m not that naive into thinking it is 100% fool proof method but still.

I watched with anticipation as the urine spread its way across test and control region of the pregnancy test. So many emotions and they are all conflicting and not one is stronger than the other. My husband and I have never really run by a specific life plan – we take everything as it comes and we find that this works well for us. If we weren’t so easy going and adaptable we’d be screwed! In the final 30 seconds I came to the conclusion that what will be will be. If it’s positive than it was obviously meant to be.

I look down at the test and what do I see? Not 1 but 2 pink lines! It’s positive. We are going to have another baby. In this moment my first initial thought was ‘oh shit’. Ok to be honest this thought stuck with me for roughly 8 weeks. 8 very long weeks! It wasn’t that I didn’t like the idea of having another baby it was that in my head I was convinced we were done and it hadn’t quite sunk in that I was pregnant again. I always wanted 3 kids but the husband only wanted 2 and as the age gap grew larger I felt it was time to let it go. Hahaha – a bit too bad for him now – he was thrilled when I told though.
I am now 15 weeks pregnant and everything is looking great! We are all very excited about the soon to be new arrival to the family. Now we have to begin the purchases AGAIN as we got rid of everything we had for babies and now we will have to start from scratch. Not to mention that I already look like I’m 6 months along and I have about 4 outfits left that fit so I am in desperate need of larger clothes as well.
The 20 week scan will uncover the sex of the little squishy taking residence in my belly. We would be more than thrilled with either sex; either way we are all happy!
Wow Kell, how exciting! Congratulations!! Hope you’re feeling fantastic
And yes with my 3rd pregnancy I was showing at 8 weeks. My uterus just said “Yeah I’ve done this before” and jumped on out lol.
Thanks Kelly! That is exactly what it was like – my body went oh we’re pregnant again into position everyone! hahaha.
Way to draw out the suspense! Congratulations may this little unexpected bundle bring joy and laughter to your family.
Love
hahaha now you know how I felt 😛
Thanks so much and I’m sure it will.
Merry Christmas
Congrats. I think the good thing about having to start again with number three is you really do know the things you don’t really need. You’ll find you only spend half as much!
I look forward to reading of your journey.
Thanks so much Mandy. I never thought about it that way before! It is a very good point. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful and safe Christmas.
Congratulations! Our 3rd baby was also a surprise pregnancy & I couldn’t imagine our lives any differently. Hope all goes smoothly for you.
Thanks heaps! Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly. It is all very exciting even with the surprise
Yay! Congratulations, Im so happy for you. Hope it is a glowing and easy pregnancy and that you enjoy every minute.
Awwww thanks so much Elise! I’m hoping it all goes smoothly as well. You will no doubt hear more about it as time goes on
Congratulations! Mine too, popped right on out.
Thanks Sophie! It’s nice to hear many others popped out straight away like mine has.
Congrats Kell!
Our bubba number three was a surprise too and I got rather large rather quickly as well.
Hope everything’s going well and congrats again! x
So far so good Jenny. Did your belly stop or slow down the growth at some point? Thanks Jenny
Congratulations!! Hope the pregnancy has been kind to you so far. My second was a surprise (my first was only 4 months old when I fell pregnant again!) but I wouldn’t change it for the world now. Everything happens for a reason. Have a great Christmas!

Hey all the best with your new little bundle of joy! Yes I can imagine it was a shock if you thought you were “all done” but obviously this little person has a destiny and reason for being brought into being
That is what we believe as well Janet! Clearly this little person is meant to be here for one reason or another. MERRY CHRISTMAS & thanks for stopping by
