Is it just me or does every January seem to go by really fast? The lack of posting is not lack of nothing going on just the fact I hate using the computer because the track pad doesn't work, its incredibly slow and needs to be plugged in most of the time. Really the biggest reason I haven't posted is because I"m LAZY these days, but with good reason. We're expecting baby #4 in August and I really don't have the energy to do much. The first trimester has been fine. I have never thrown up once during pregnancy so I really can't relate to those that feel sick, I just feel bad for them. There are a few things I wanted to write down about this pregnancy so far though.
At my first appointment as I was filling out paper work when it asked me how many kids I had and what number this would be I kind of freaked out. I got all sweaty and nervous and it really hit me that we are going to have four kids in August. For some reason it didn't hit me how difficult kids can be until I had three (hence the big gap with no kids). Anyways when I went to the front desk to give my paperwork to someone and they asked how many kids this would make and I told them the woman looked at me and said, "You don't look old enough to have four kids." It made me feel a little better but even when I was having my exam I was really nervous, enough that my blood pressure was much higher than usual.
That was a month ago and now that I've had time to processes this I'm really excited. This was intentional I think I'm just out of practice. It helps that my sister just had a adorable little baby and I keep reminding myself that I get a sweet little baby at first not an big eight year old that is moody. The kids are very excited and Devin was so excited he took pictures of my sonogram to school so he would have "proof" he's going to be a big brother again. It was adorable. Caroline REALLY, REALLY, REALLY wants a little sister and I keep telling her I can't promise her that so she may be really disappointed when we find out, or really happy. So I'm sure I'll have plenty to post about in August and I'll try and remember to write about everything else. Caroline is turning 8 next week!? How did that happen? Anyways stay posted on me loosing my mind I'm sure I'll have some stories to tell!

I'm excited for you! And Caroline is old enough to be a big help this time. (actually, they all are.)
Congratulations! I am sure you will be fantastic with 4 just like you are with 3! :)
So excited for you! Can't wait to hear all your stories. And it will be nice for you to have sort of a gap between the 2 youngest. At least it will make things easier on you!
What!!! Congratulations!!!! I am so excited for you guys! Can't wait to read all your stories. August is a great time to have a baby. You can swim and have a fun summer with your kids then pop out a baby right when school starts. August made for an easy transition for us with Levi. Hope you feel better soon.
Oh and I read have four helped you to be a less stressed out mom. Apparently moms who have three kids are the most stressed out. ;-)
Yeah!!! I'm so excited for you!
Congrats!!! You are an amazing momma so this baby is sure lucky to get you.
