The news!

So, the cat's out of the bag........I hinted at the news last week in Drew's birthday post, and my mom posted it on her blog, but only a few people caught on. So, here is the reason I've been a little M.I.A. on my blog for the past few months........






















Yep, baby #4 is on the way! I'm still a little freaked out and in shock, but we all are very excited. And for the record, there is only one baby!!! At my first appointment, the Dr. was a little concerned that it might be twins due to the size I was and fertility drugs. But thanks to a quick ultrasound, there is only one baby and everything is right on schedule. This will be the biggest space between kids for me, which I'm sure is going to be a huge blessing with the busy little boy I have now. I've felt really crummy this time around, so that's the reason I haven't been blogging much. I've been trying to hide being horribly sick from everyone I know. After having three really good pregnancies, this one took me by surprise! But, I'm finally starting to feel a bit better, so hopefully I'll get back into the swing of things before my life gets even crazier!

And, for the record, just because I know you'll ask, this baby is due July 9th.

i dont see it. all i see is a sea otter. oh and it could stillbe twins! its been known for them to "stack ontop of each other" avoiding being seen on ultrasounds. however, its be cool to have twins! well... for me, maybe not for you. cause i always get to send them home! yay! congrats.
