Baby Sweeney #3 Wheee!

When I teased that a change was coming soon…many of you guessed it haha. YES we are expecting Baby #3. Girl? Boy? We have no idea and we wont know until my due date of Feb 14.

Of course - my babies love the holidays. My oldest Kennedy, was due right near Remembrance Day and Lilly (now my middle child!) was born on December 24.

I FEEL LIKE I’VE BEEN PREGNANT FOREVER

I found out REALLY early that I was pregnant. I have known since the first week in June and this has been the hardest secret to keep. Not that we really had to keep it a secret but I felt more comfortable waiting until we were in the second trimester.

I found out a few days before Bobby’s sisters wedding. Great timing hahaha. And right before we left on a mom and dad trip to Palm Springs. Again; I didn’t really plan this well LOL.

But truthfully this was something that was always in the plans. I was always hoping for 3 kids. Just had to figure out life around them! I still believe there is no perfect time to have kids when it comes to work, finances, life etc. But we all try our best right?

SO YOU’RE GOING FOR THE BOY….

Not exactly. I feel like we’re in a really good spot here. Of course having 2 girls and a boy would awesome. Having the experience of both genders would be great.

But on the other hand…..come on 3 girls? My ultimate DREAM. Haha

Either way; we’re truly winning.

THE LAST 3 MONTHS….

I am 38. Yes, this is a geriatric pregnancy. And I feel like my body knows it. I have been REALLY tired. But then again, I’m off coffee haha so maybe this is just how I feel in real life.

I’ve also been pretty sick but I THINK that might also be my prenatals. I’ve switched to taking them right before I go to bed and that seems to have fixed the problem for the most part. Or I’m now 16 weeks and over the sickness haha.

PREPPING FOR BABY

As I mentioned before we knew we wanted 3 kids. I started “prepping” in February. Regular fertility acupuncture appointments at Park Integrative (cue Matt saying it’s hocus pocus lol) , I cut out alcohol and I started tracking my ovulation. I am a nerd and all of this stuff was fun for me haha. The acupuncture helped keep my anxiety in check and I felt really in tune with my own body.

Obviously this is not for everyone, and I am by no means an expert or have any medical background. But I wanted to give my body about 3 months to “prep” to make sure I was at optimal health both mentally and physically.

For me - this worked like a charm! The fertility acupuncture thanks to Jeanine at Park Integrative I believe truly did the trick. And she is a riot. Check out some of her funny Instagram videos HERE.

FEB 14 SEE YA THEN!

So here we are ; another holiday another baby for the Sweeney’s haha. Although I think about 2% of babies are actually born on their due date so we will see how this actually goes. I will be taking a shorter Mat leave and returning to the CISN Country airwaves sometime in the Fall.

Thanks for all of your well wishes and sweet messages - you all are the best!
