Surprises! I Love 'Em!

Have you ever had a really good surprise? My husband is #1 when it comes to great surprises! When we were dating he surprised me with a trip to California for the day just to swim in the ocean because I never had before in my life. He picked me up at 3am we drove to the airport, boarded our plane and spent the day in So Cal. swimming in the salt water. I think his biggest surprise on that trip was the $39.98 spent ALONE in freshly squeezed orange juice on the Queen Mary:), financial planners love that! Needless to say it was an amazing surprise to go with all the very many he spoiles me with!

Anyways, to my story. When we were up in Canada for Magrath Days I had a feeling we might be expecting a new bundle of joy at the end of April. When we got home I made an appointment with my doctor for my 6-7week first pregnancy visit. Last week I went in and as I saw my little baby on the ultra sound I could not believe how big the baby was and how well I could see everything! I saw the baby's face, arms etc. Then the doctor ask if I was ready to find out what the sex of my baby was and my reply, "how can you? I'm only 7 weeks along." "Oh no, " said my doctor, "you're 17 1/2 weeks along, your due date is at the end of January!" I couldn't believe it!

Wow, this baby, like all my other little angles, is certainly ment to be here. I have a set of Irish twins and just weeks short of another! I think this is the best surprise a mother could ask for:)!

PS. I have been trying to post my pics from the summer. I'm getting there, but I know I am a terrible blogger. But believe me when I say I'm working on it!
