In a world where cutesy pregnancy announcements flood social media, one mom has flipped the script with a refreshingly candid twist. Meet Jenna Thompson, the witty mind behind the blog Blossoms & Marigolds. As a mom to two little girls, Lily and Zoe, who are three and two, Jenna was in for a surprise when she found out she was expecting baby number three.
With a mix of shock and humor, Jenna took to Instagram to share the news: “We’re thrilled to announce that baby number THREE is on the way!” But the real kicker? Her initial reaction was nothing short of colorful. “Oh crap. That was my first thought as I stood there, staring at 25 pee-soaked sticks. Oh crap, I’m pregnant. Oh crap, that doctor was SO wrong when he said I’d need treatments to conceive,” she recounted on her blog.
Jenna has Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and had been told that fertility treatments would be necessary for her to conceive. But her body had other ideas. “It felt like my body was giving a big F-YOU to that doctor,” she quipped. She managed to get pregnant without any interventions and had no issues conceiving Zoe either, having only one postpartum period before discovering she was expecting again. It’s no wonder she was caught off guard!
In her conversation with Home Insemination Kit, Jenna shared that some curious folks have questioned whether this pregnancy was planned. “Honestly, it wasn’t. None of our pregnancies were planned. With my PCOS, I didn’t want to set myself up for disappointment. So when that test popped up positive, you can imagine my reaction! That’s a pretty big ‘oh crap’ moment, wouldn’t you agree?”
And how are her daughters taking the news? “Lily is absolutely over the moon about having another sibling,” Jenna revealed. “Every day she asks how big the baby is getting. Zoe, on the other hand, loves to yell at my belly – she’s my little wild child.”
With another little one on the way, life is about to get even busier for Jenna and her family. But with her humor intact, we’re confident she will navigate this new adventure with grace.
