 So, I had no suspiscion of this... not like the first time. I knew I was pregnant with Ezra  two days before Tia Flo came to town. I was barely 3 weeks pregnant and I had the longest pregancy in the history of mankind. My gallbladder ended up rejecting my body as it couldn't keep up. It was one experience I will never forget. I had barely lost the baby weight, which took 11 months of mediocre dieting.  I had just sold all of Ezra's baby toys: Swing, bouncer, co-sleeper, Jumperoo.  We were actually on our way to a baby shower. I showed up at my mom's house to use the restroom and as I walked in I found my mother sitting on the kitchen table with a pregnancy test in her hand.

I took it just to humor her and came out of the bathroom shaking. I couldn't take a second look at the truth in my hands so I left it behind and had Nathan and my mother look for me. Wow. This was definitely a surprise. I never made it to the baby shower. I barely made it out of my mother's house. We had to go to Babies R'Us to buy Ezra's favorite Nuby BPA-Free bottles and as we were walking in I felt that the store was endless and all the onesies were monsters that were trying to eat me. I focused on avoiding my peripheral vision and headed straight for the bottles, when Nathan dissapeared. I gathered my strength and went to look for him,as I realized that I had also been avoiding speaking to him since he'd confirmed the results for me. 

I found Nathan with a cream-colored onesie in his hands, he looked up at me and said in a very uplifting and celibratory voice, "We're having another baby!" I immediately got teary-eyed and everything fell from the sky.  At that moment I knew that everything was going to be better than ok, they were going to be perfect.
