Plate spinner in a side show! You must have 2 dozen plates by now. Glad the drugs are helping the anxiety

Y’all have no clue how much crazier life has been! Oh my! I’ll try to not leave anything out. 
I worked a 16hr shift last Thursday as they were short that night so I stayed over four hours and got incentive pay and got to be off Friday night. Since we then could have some family time, we took the kids to Bass Pro to see Santa. No one cried! All three kids told him what they wanted. We then had a nice meal out at Cheddar’s so DS could have fish and DDs could both have shrimp. (We don’t eat out much and thought we’d ask where they wanted to go but they only knew what type of food to ask for so we tried somewhere that had both on the menu.) After dinner, I ran in GFS and picked up Christmas cookies. They are awesome! Sugar cookies that are cut out already and frozen. Just have to bake and ice then decorate. We do a cookie decorating party every year with our three and DH’s brother’s two kids. Having the cookies ready makes it so much easier for me! On the way home, we stopped in Charlestown to see the Christmas light display. It is amazing. The kids loved it. I found it wonderful that they include a patriotic portion.
Saturday we wrapped presents for a Christmas party with my side of the family that night, made Oreo balls, and finished up deviled eggs. DH put out hay. I also pasteurized a round of milk. We then loaded up to pick up some FFA apples and visit Reggie at the same time. He’s a Steer we sold to a 4-Her and we supported her in her FFA endeavors also. He looks great and she’s working with him a lot. Drove to Seymour after that to pick up dog food. We feed Red Flannel and have to order it. I didn’t realize we were low and had to have some. Found a place that stocks it. Then it was back home to get everything for Christmas and a nice evening with my family.
I’d been so tired and we started realizing that my period was going to be two weeks late on Sunday. Take into consideration that DH had a vasectomy more than two years ago and did the follow-ups and was basically declared sterile. DH asked me as we were leaving my parents when I wanted to take a test and I replied that it shouldn’t even be possible and he said it wouldn’t hurt so we stopped and he went in and bought two tests. I of course didn’t need to pee right away and when I did, I did the test that has the +/- (I prefer the ones with a digital positive or negative but the set he bought had one of each so I saved the other type for the morning.) The vertical line was pale but very present! Talk about a shock!!!
DH wasn’t totally convinced so I did go ahead and take the digital test when I awoke at 5:30 Sunday morning. That one changed to POSITIVE before I could even get my hands washed.
Telling the kids was SO much fun. They were immediately very excited and we started telling family. Everyone was in shock as they thought it wasn’t possible also. We went to church and told more family after church. My sister’s vehicle had been dropping oil pressure so DH got his dad’s dually and gooseneck trailer to haul it to the shop. DD1 then had dress rehearsal to play Mary in the Christmas program at the church Christmas dinner the next night. DS and DD2 also had practice as they were doing a finger play and singing some little Christmas songs. Sometime during rehearsal, I started spotting. It was dark and not much. By the time I got up the next morning, I was bleeding. I called the doctor and they scheduled me for that afternoon. DH took a half day to go with me. An ultrasound showed a gestational sac but not enough detail to reassure us so they did a quantitave hcg that came back at 140. I went back down yesterday to have my blood drawn for a result to evaluate the first. (They do them 48 hrs apart and the level itself doesn’t matter as it varies per person, they do want it to double or more in 48 hrs.) I was placed on bedrest and told not to work until further notice. The bleeding stopped overnight. I’m awaiting the results of the bloodwork as they are supposed to call this morning.
In the meantime, DS started vomiting early Tues morning and was sick most of the day. DD1 then started puking that night after she went to sleep. Then last night, DD2 started vomiting and did so off and on all night. DH’s stomach was bothering him this morning so he stayed home and is still asleep. My mom, sister, nephew, and BIL have all had it too during the last few days.
This baby is quite the miracle and we can’t wait to see what the future holds!
All of the kids are very excited. Praying that I don’t get the stomach bug that everyone is passing around!
I’m due the end of July/beginning of Aug. God sure has a sense of humor as I never wanted a child due during those hot months!
