Baby #3

The title says it all!  We will have another little baby Prentice blessing our family later this summer.  We found out we were expecting the day after Thanksgiving (Black Friday!).  Even though we very much planned for this baby, it was still such a shock to see the two lines on the pregnancy test.  Such a miracle!

November 28th, 2014 (Chad went in to check it and came out and told me I needed to come in.  I think I screamed when I saw the second line.)

On January 5th, I had my first OB appointment and saw the baby on the ultrasound machine screen.  The doctor and nurse were surprised that the baby was moving around so much at such a tiny size.  We kept the news to ourselves until I hit 15 weeks, which corresponded with Luke's birthday party.  We really wanted to tell our family in person at the same time, which didn't happen with Luke or Meredith's news.  We knew the Grandparents and Uncle Derek would be coming for Luke's birthday, so we thought that would be the perfect time.  We bought Luke a "big brother" t-shirt and had it be the last gift he opened.  I think people were excited, but not necessarily super surprised.  We texted a few friends with the news, then posted it on Facebook.


We were going to use this picture as our announcement since he was smiling so well, but it was hard to read the shirt :)

Ironically, the baby's due date is 8-8-15, which is my Dad's 60th birthday.  It would be so neat to deliver on that day, but due to another c-section, I would imagine the delivery date will be late July or very early August.

We are so thankful to God for this blessing.  Though it would be neat to keep the gender a surprise for D-Day, I don't think we can wait that long again.  Plus, we don't have a set baby name (like we did for Luke), so it would be nice to not have to struggle with coming up with two names.  We can't wait for the gender ultrasound on March 13th!
