A week late

So, it's March 6th, and I'm a week late in getting my monthly visit. A few years ago this would have shot up a red flag, but lately, this seems to be the trend. Since Jac was concieved on our honeymoon, I have had 4 periods. One in January of 2008 -- Leah was conceived after this one. And then I've had three since Leah was born, November and December of 2009 and January 2010. Each of the cycles since I got my November visit have come at 5 weeks instead of 4, so being a week late hasn't surprised me very much... except that I have been having lots of stomach aches. I've never been one for morning sickness, just a little nausea, which I haven't had yet. Just stomach aches every now and then. I started taking my temp on Wednesday and it was 98 two days and then 98.2 two days. I always drop one day before I start (and today is officially one week late), so I'm planning to take a pregnancy test later today.
I've been ready for another baby for a while now, but Casey wasn't. He knew there was no birth control being used, so this is what we get! According to the online due date calendars, this new due date will be sometime the second week of November.
I took the test on March 6th and it was positive! I was excited, but Casey didn't seem to have much of a reaction. He told that it wasn't a surprise because I had already told him that I was, but I didn't know for sure. Now we do!

So... where do we go from here? We can only go forward! :) I called my OB and they rescheduled my annual appt from the 15th to the 24th because that would be 8 weeks according to their wheel. We told family on the 17th, Jacqueline's birthday. Most of Casey's family was at his parents house since it was St. Patty's Day, so Jacqueline told Nana (and every one else) "Momma has a new baby in her tummy!" Kathy (Nana) was shocked, and asked her what she said, and so she said again, and she squealed and was very excited. It's great that everyone is as excited for number 3, as they were with number 1.

And the proof....
