Our biggest surprise by far! We are pregnant with our 4th! No we don't know if it's a girl yet, we just got the ultrasound to find out how far along I was because we didn't know and we were about 3 weeks off of what we thought. Which made me 3 weeks more pregnant than I thought, that was kind of nice... Although, that puts me due August 8th... I never would have planned a baby for the dead heat of summer, it also postpones our trip to San Diego we were planning for last week in July, we have been planning it for the last year... I was pretty bummed. I cried when I found out I was pregnant, not because I was sad to have another baby, I knew we wanted one eventually, but because I had all these plans of what I would be doing, what our family would be doing, and now it was just going to be hard, well harder anyway. I’m a very grumpy, tired, sick, moody, head-achy pregnant women… and when you are all that it’s hard to want to do anything and it’s hard to enjoy anyone and I know they don’t enjoy me.I'm starting to be excited about it, I do love new babies... I just wish I could skip the pregnant part...
Brady has been a real champ and the boys have been great, I'm very lucky. It was Brady that first said, "Maybe your pregnant..." With the boys I swear I just knew that I was pregnant even before a test could tell me so... this time it was different, maybe I was just so far from the idea and the fact I didn't think I was ready for it, that I just denied it for a long time. Every so often I just felt like I needed a nap... not a big deal, just a little tired... then one day I didn't get a little nap... Brady came home at 4:45 and I told him, "I am just so tired today let me lay down for 15 min then I will start on dinner." So I laid down... 45 min later I wake up to the smell of dinner! First of all when I nap it usually takes me about 15 min to fall asleep but this time I hit the pillow and was out! Brady being the sweet man that he is, didn't want to wake me (even though I asked him too). When I came down he just said "Maybe your pregnant." Even after that It took me about a week before I finally decided to get a pregnancy test... It was so immediately positive that it made me laugh... then cry...
It really has taken me a while to adjust this time... I think because it was so unexpected... but we are happy and feel blessed. This one will be 2 years and 2 month apart from Owen... which happen to be the exact space between all our kids... I guess it was just meant to be...
