Happy Thanksgiving to me!

Last Wednesday Aaron had a recording session in the house with his friend David. I was taking care of Asher, chasing him around and trying to keep him busy for a while so I could finish some transcriptions I was working on and wanted to turn in before Thanksgiving. I had gone to bed at 4 a.m. that morning, and now I had a messy house, work to do, and a baby who would not let me go2 ft. away from him. I was trying to remain calm, relaxed, and peaceful, but instead I was getting extremely grumpy, grumpy beyond my own limits, and then I thought: Wait a second, this is not normal.

When I went to bed at 4 a.m. I had a hard time falling asleep, and then I felt some cramping in my belly, my period was a day late already and I was extremely grumpy, what else could it be??? Is it probably the extra estrogen (yeah, I really hope I have a baby girl this time) kicking in already??? or being beyond grumpy is my new limit???

Well, I of course was skeptical, but I wanted to have peace of mind so on Thanksgiving morning I went upstairs and asked Emilie if she had a pregnancy test, I took it and it was faulty, and a few hours later I couldn't contain the anxiety and went to get a couple pregnancy test to the store.

The result wasn't very clear so I determine to wait 'til the next day to take another. Meanwhile, during our Thanksgiving get together, Rose asked me if I was pregnant, and she was saying that if I were pregnant at this point Asher and baby #2 would be exactly 2 years apart. While she is saying all this, I'm thinking in my mind that the came to me the day I was going to tell the family I was pregnant with Asher and said: "Danielly, are you pregnant? You look like if you were you know." So I'm going "Is this just coincidence or can she sense something in the air?"

Finally, three test confirmed that baby "Chloe" is probably on her way, or it could also be baby boy whose name I don't know yet. Whoever is coming, I am going to be happy to welcome!
