It's been a year since my last post, and now this year is almost over. So rewind about 8 months, we found out we were pregnant.
I guess Beau decided the time was right, and decided to get me pregnant without my consent, and of course, I got knocked up. I was in shock for the first 3 months mostly. I didn't think I was ready for a third. Hudson was still so much my baby to me, and I couldn't imagine bringing another into this world just quite yet. But things happen for a reason, and now that I've had months to process everything I couldn't be happier. It really wasn't until we went to our ultrasound and I got to see that little miracle in my belly at 18 weeks, that I fully started to get excited..
YES we are having another BOY. I had a feeling the whole time it was going to be a boy, really, I would have been more in shock if the ultrasound tech told me it was a girl. I guess once you've already had two you just expect it every time. Family and friends were a little bummed we weren't going to get a girl, but I really was so excited for a boy. I know boys, I love my boys, and I knew another would fit into our lives just perfectly. And a bonus, I already had everything I needed..
We've decided to name him, Erroll "Finn" Flowers. He will be called Finn. Can I just tell you how excited Beau is to have a THIRD son, because you know, he's a third son, and now he's having a third son. Just that alone made him so happy we were having a boy, that made me happy too.
I get overwhelmed when I think how much I am loved by my boys and to be adding a 3rd makes me feel beyond blessed. There is just something about boys and their mamas, and I've lucked out for sure.
We won a giveaway from Gideon photography for some family photos at the first of the year, and I knew I was pregnant so I wanted to wait until I was showing a bit more before we took them. I couldn't leave Finn out of the pictures.
I love this family of mine with my whole heart, and I marvel at the beauty Beau and I have created. Making a family with that man has been by far the best decision I've ever made. Hands down! He is the greatest Dad, and I feel so blessed. I know his boys love him too. They think he is the best guy around.
I am now 37 weeks and 4 days, Finn has been my first baby that has ever measured on time at my ultrasound, so I'm thinking he's going to actually be on time. Which is just fine with me. We have so much to do before this babe gets here and I'm not so sure I'm ready for a third. But ready or not.
It's pretty much just a waiting game from here on out.
Yesterday at my midwife appointment I was dilated to a two, and that was about it. With Hudson at 37 weeks I was dilated to a two and 60% effaced, so I had made a lot more progress at this time. Which makes me think he will be on time.
This time around hasn't been bad, 3rd pregnancies FLY BY.. And I mean FLY. I have no idea where this summer went. I think you're so busy with the two you already have that you don't have time to remember you're pregnant. But now that I'm 37 weeks I'm totally starting to feel it. Lots of back pain, hip pain, and uncomfortable contractions. Little Finn is making his way down, and he has so many people who are so excited to meet him.
We are doing another home birth. I am so excited for Noah and now Hudson to get to be apart of it as well. I don't think Hudson knows what he's in for. He knows there's a baby in there but probably just figures he'll stay in there forever. I'm excited for them to meet their little Brother, and I'm excited for Finn to meet his family who already loves him so much.
I've really been able to enjoy this pregnancy and I already feel such a strong connection to that little spirit. He is already so special to us and he has yet to arrive. I can't wait.
Hopefully my next post will be about our little Finn's arrival.
