Knezevich, Party of 5

So, as you all may have read from a few posts ago, we were trying for a baby and had some bumps along the way. I am thankful every day now that I wrote that blog because I received so many kind and encouraging words from all of my friends and family and I was also contacted by an old high school friend who was going through the same thing.  She encouraged me and gave me some verses that were so inspirational but the most important thing that she said to me was that she kept saying, "Why me?" until finally her husband asked her, "Why not you?"  Those words stuck with me and I thought that I am already so blessed and I have faith in God. I know that he has a plan for me and that when it was His will, that my family would grow again.  So yes, "Why not me?"  After talking with her I didn't take another look at my ovulation strips or try any more crazy methods.  I relaxed and put my trust in God that when he was ready, we would receive another blessing.  I prayed every day.. for myself and my friend.  Well, 4 weeks later, I took a test and almost fainted when I saw those 2 lines.... twice... 

I had to take the test because I had written previously about crying uncontrollably and my hormones being out of whack.  I cried while taking Harlee to her first concert.  Every time I would look at her smiling and singing to The Band Perry, I would tear up again. The next morning I woke up and my breasts were so sore it felt like they were going to fall off (TMI, I know).  I went in for pregnancy confirmation and labs last week and then yesterday had an appointment with the best OB doctor out there, Dr. Anderson. Well, when I got there I waited for about  30+ minutes to hear that she had an emergency at the hospital and they asked if I wanted to see another provider.  I REALLY wanted to see Dr. A because when I had my miscarriage, she told me that it would all be okay and that I would probably get pregnant again right before Disney.. boy was she right! Either way, I agreed to see another doctor because I was dying to know my baby was okay.  I ended up seeing Dr. Tollison and he was so nice! I was crying when he came in because... well... I was just emotional and wanted Dr. Anderson but he really made me feel better.  He pulled some strings and got me in at the hospital (the machine at the office was down) the next day so that I could see my baby and put my mind at ease while we were at Disney.  I held in my secret for as long as I could (knowing for 4 weeks is a long time :)) and I am so happy to be introducing to you all, Knezevich Baby #3!



Seeing and hearing that little heart beat made me feel like the luckiest Mom on the planet.  I am now 8 weeks and 3 days and heading to Disney in 2 short days with my family. We will be heading to Wee See Imaging on December 20th to find out what this baby is.  I honestly don't have a preference since I already have 1 of each.  I would wait for delivery day to find out, but I have a closet full of boy stuff that I want to get rid of if it's a girl. :) I cannot wait until we get to meet this baby in June! (Due date is June 15).  I want to thank ALL of you that encouraged me along the way.
