Baby Sosbe: Round TWO!!

August 22, 2014

This summer Mike and I decided I was going to get off my birth control in June and we were going to begin trying for another baby. We both felt like the timing was perfect with Mike's new job, Rylee's age, and my baby fever ;) After trying for a couple months and no luck I wanted to try an ovulation kit like we used when we got pregnant with Rylee. So, in August I just had a good feeling that this month was the month! Unlike the previous two months I had no spotting leading up to my expected period and occasional sharp pains in my lower abdominal area. Mike was out of town for work all week so Friday morning (my expected period day) I woke up early and took a pregnancy test and after waiting three long minutes I could not believe my eyes...it said PREGNANT!! I immediately started crying tears of joy and thanked God for this little miracle! I then had to wait ALL morning until Mike got home from the airport around 11am and after we greeted him I gave Rylee a little gift bag and told her to give Daddy his special gift. He opened it to find the positive pregnancy test and started smiling ear to ear. We hugged, I cried (again), and Rylee could of cared less (she was preoccupied with her new toy Daddy brought her).

Unfortunately, the amazing doctor who delivered Rylee will not be delivering babies anymore so I will be going to a refereed doctor (Dr. Sutaria) at 8 weeks (September 22nd). I am so anxious to see a picture of our little baby, hear his/her heartbeat, and make sure everything looks good! Cannot wait to find out what we are having!!

How we shared the news with family:

Mom- I talk to my mom everyday (sometimes more than once a day) so it was very hard to keep this wonderful secret from her. On Monday (Aug. 25) she called to talk on her way home and asked me to send her an email to let her know the upcoming dates Mike would be leaving for work. So, I proceeded to tell her some of them and then added you might need to come up here the beginning of May in nine months! There was a long pause from both of us then she asked are you pregnant and I said yes (crying again)! She was soooo excited for Mike and I. She has already started shopping LOL!
Dad- I had to call my dad after my mom since they weren't together and asked him what his plans were in May. Of course he had a sarcastic remark and said probably pushing up daisies... Then he said I don't know...maybe a grandkid's graduation. I said well you will be having another grandkid in May to come see! He was sooo excited and happy for Mike and I.
Sherie- Called and Mike told her for her 51st birthday we are giving her another grandbaby. She was very excited!!
Tina & Mike- Called and told them that they need to move down here (like they had mentioned transferring locations for work) by May. Mike's dad got it right away and Tina did after we hinted around...both were very excited!!
Westin- Called and told him since he is my twin he should know everything going on in my life so clear  your calendar for the beginning of May. Right away he said you're pregnant?! He was so very excited and extremely happy for us. He even told me that he teared up a little...he has the biggest heart :)
Tamera & Debbie- Called Tamera and told her since she and Debbie do so good with Kynlee, Kate, and Rylee that we are adding another one to the mix! She was completely shocked and just kept saying, 'Oh my God!' Needless to say, she was very happy but shocked!
Kristin- Was the last to know since I wanted to tell her in person. She came over after Kate's apt in the morning and I had Rylee in a Big Sister shirt. She went to go say hi to her in her room and as soon as she saw her she noticed the shirt and looked back at me smiling and with a look of complete shock saying "Are you serious?" She was sooo happy for us and we definitely caught her off gaurd!!
How we shared the news with everyone else:

SURPRISE!! Rylee is excited to finally share our big secret!! Baby Sosbe is due May 2, 2015 :)

I am so excited to see Rylee as a Big Sister! I know she is going to be an amazing, protective, sweet, and proud Big Sister! Cannot wait to watch their special bond form and grow.
