In the realm of social media, cute pregnancy announcements have become a trend, but one mom has taken a refreshing approach that stands out from the crowd. With a perfectly timed expletive, she captured the shock and excitement of expecting her third child.
Meet Jenna Thompson
Jenna Thompson is the creative mind behind the popular blog Blossoms & Buds. The mother of two little girls, Sarah and Ava, aged four and three, was taken aback when she discovered she was pregnant again. Her feelings were brilliantly encapsulated in a humorous Instagram post that got everyone talking.
“Guess what? Baby number THREE is on the way!” Jenna declared. The Thompson family was set to grow to five, and the surprise of this pregnancy is something many parents can resonate with. “Oh crap! That was my immediate reaction as I stood there staring at a dozen positive tests. Oh crap, I’m pregnant. Oh crap, that doctor was completely off when he said I would need treatments to conceive,” Jenna shared on her blog.
Defying the Odds
She explained that she has Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and was advised that she would require fertility treatments to conceive. But her body had other plans, defying the odds not once, but three times in a row. “My body basically gave that doctor a big F-YOU,” Jenna quipped, having conceived naturally without any issues.
Jenna recounted that some people have been curious about whether this pregnancy was planned. “To be totally honest, it wasn’t. None of our pregnancies were planned,” she revealed. Due to her PCOS, she was cautious about setting herself up for disappointment. “Planning would mean disappointment if it didn’t happen, and I didn’t want that. So, when that test came back positive, you can imagine my thoughts—definitely a huge ‘Oh crap’ moment!”
Excitement in the Family
As for Sarah and Ava, they couldn’t be more thrilled about the news. “Sarah is SUPER excited for another sibling,” Jenna said. “Every day she asks how big the baby is getting. Ava, on the other hand, loves to shout at my belly—she’s a real firecracker!” With a new addition on the way, life is about to get even more adventurous for Jenna and her family. Thankfully, with her great sense of humor, we have no doubt she’ll handle it all beautifully.
