How can I put this?

We need to make more space in our home. I guess it is coming sooner than we thought. We are pregnant! I went to the doctor today so the secret is out. I had an ultrasound today for my 9 weeks. Well I found out I actually have a bigger baby than 9 weeks. Try more like 13 weeks!!! OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, though I was freaking out.

Here is how it went with the ultrasound tech, named Jill:
Jill: Are you sure about your dates?
Me: Yes, (TMI warning) yes LMP was my birthday
Jill: Okay well this baby looks a lot bigger than 9 weeks.
Me: How much bigger?
Jill: Hold on lets check some other things and I will tell you.
Me: okay
Jill: click click click click click!!!!! Okay looks like it is more like 4 weeks bigger. Was your LMP a regular one?
Me: Yes... I think so
Jill: Well you could have already been pregnant when you had your LMP.
Me: This is so crazy!!!!
Jill: (looks at me as if to asks me if I am okay) Hmmm.... Well your doctor might choose to keep your due date the same, but for right now I can tell you that this baby looks really big to me for 9 weeks.
Me: I am okay I am just shocked. We tried to skip March.
Jill: Oh is it a really busy month for you guys?
Me: Yes everything seems to be in March. I am excited though. I always wanted a surprise baby. And well this is quite the surprise.
Jill: Your doctor will have to look at these and we will go from there. She might not change the due date until your 20 week ultrasound. Looks like I have the due date at March 23rd.
Me: Holy cow. That is 2 days before my oldest was born. This is so crazy! I am shocked.
Jill: Well Congratulations Chelsey. Looks like you are pretty happy. I am all done here. You can go ahead and go when you are ready.
Me: Thanks Jill. Have a nice day.

She left and I was seriously smiling from ear to ear thinking, 'I can't believe that I found out I am farther along than I thought. So weird. I got to get out of here and call Hans. He is going to die!'

I called Hans and said,
Me: OH MY GOSH YOU ARE GOING TO DIE! ARE YOU READY FOR THIS? I am farther along than we thought.
Hans: How much farther?
Me: like 4 weeks farther.
Hans: Wow

We talked back and forth for awhile telling each other the craziness of it all. Then he told me he thought I was going to say that we were having twins.

Actually that is just about everyone's reaction that I have told. Doesn't surprise me though. For a bit I thought I was pregnant with twins, because I just felt so much more worn out than I have been at this point in my other pregnancies.... could be because I am farther than I thought, right?

Anyway, there you have it. The Hoge Family is going from 4 to five before Arlee's birthday! Hopefully before...Never had a late baby before and I don't want to start.
