That's right Baby #3 is currently growing in my belly. Our family is very excited.
Anne is ecstatic. For the past couple of weeks she's been walking around with animals stuffed up her shirt. I'm proud to announce that she's had many successful pregnancies and deliveries of bunnies, cows, baby dolls and puppies.
As for me, I'm doing well, too. No throwing up, although there are waves of nausea. Mainly I'm just tired. No, tired doesn't seem t quite do it justice. I am exhausted. I'm napping every chance I get.
Baby is due June 15. I'm only seven weeks, but I look about three months pregnant. My stomach just seemed to pop out immediately this time. I thought it happened fast with Jack, but this time it was almost instant! My midwife laughs and says, "We call that the ripple effect. With each child it pops out bigger and faster." Anyone else experienced this with Baby #3?
By the way, I have no shame this time. Maternity clothes are already in use. No trying to squeeze into normal jeans this time. I'm all about comfort.
Congrats, Janna! Love the little bump already. Adorable!

YAY!!!! Congratulations! I was all about comfort in my second pregnancy; and I'm quite content to wear the maternity clothes as I get back into my pre-preggo (from number 1, hopefully!) body. Enjoy!
In case you didn't know, our second boy arrived last week! :)

Yes, same experience with #3. I felt like it was pretty instant as well. It went in waves. It popped out, then went back in, but quickly came back out. You go girl. Rock the maternity.

YES, I too popped out instantly with #3! Each of my three weighed exactly 1 lb. more than the previous child so I, also, got bigger with each one. Congrats and blessings!

Congratulations! Yes I popped right away with baby #3, and was all about going right into maternity clothes.
Your shirt cracked me up!

Yay for baby #3!! Yes, same here, with my third I started popping out sooner. It was actually a mix up and I was 10 weeks when I thought I was 6 (thanks to spotting). But I was looking at my 6-week belly going, "Huh?? Something seems off..." :) At 10 weeks I was definitely showing. Like the others said, love the shirt. That's SO you. :)

Yay!!! Congratulations!!! I have no experience with #1, #2, or #3, but when I do I'll let you know :) Praying for a healthy pregnancy for you (and more energy!).

Janna! That shirt IS priceless. Love it!
That fatigue is SUCH a bugger... Hang in there, nap lots, see you soon - our bumps can hang out together... :)

Yay! That's awesome! We're only 2 months apart. I'm due April 12. Maybe we can get together next summer with all the kiddos.
Talon keeps telling me he has a baby in his tummy. I caught him looking at his belly button while he was watching TV and asked what he was doing. He told me he was checking on his baby.

Awesome Janna! I just love your shirt. I'm due with #4 in Feb, and I agree, I feel HUGE already with 4 months to go. The 'pop' factor definitely increases with each kid. I hope the first tri nausea is manageable! Congrats again!

How WONDERFUL!!!! I'm so excited for you, Janna! I was just wondering the other day if you were. What made me think that?!
And yes. I definitely popped sooner with each kid. By #4 I think I was showing the day I found out!
