Baby #4

We are expecting baby #4, this July.

Back in October, I noticed that seemingly overnight my milk supply dropped off. Mikayla was getting fussy while nursing and despite nursing her frequently, she didn't seem to be getting satisfied. The only other time this has happened, was back in early 2006 when Aiden was a baby and I found out I was expecting Caileigh. The very moment I had this realization I dragged 3 kids off to Wal-Mart to buy a pregnancy test while throwing in a pack of gum to hopefully disguise my purchase. I then raced home, took the test, and started to drive across town to take Aiden to gymnastics. I kept glancing at the results of the test in shock. I was pregnant!

I suppose I am still in shock although the constant, horrible nausea and exhaustion has helped to make it seem a little more real. I am 12 weeks and was able to hear the baby's heartbeat at this weeks Dr's appt as well as see it during an early ultrasound at 7 weeks. I am feeling much better then I was and am slowly getting back to our regular routine. I spent Nov-Dec at home, doing the minimum, and just trying to keep the kids happy and fed.

I am excited and looking forward to this unexpected adventure. I love that Aiden and Caileigh are close and I look forward to Mikayla having this same experience. Boy? Girl? Name? So many exciting things to come......
