So whats this your looking at you ask? Well it is what it looks like- the newest to be addition to our family. Hip Hip Hooray. We are very excited. We are all brimming with joy (well okay when I am miserably nauseated which is most of the time -"Brimming with joy" may not be an accurate description- but as for the big picture stuff- I am indeed brimming with joy.)
This was an ultrasound taken at 8 weeks when all he/she looked like was an itty bitty peanut. I am still just 10 weeks along now but I am outing myself- not by choice- simply because...well... because I look really pregnant - I'm talking like 4 or 5 months along- and so whether I would like to keep it to myself a bit longer or not- people are starting to ask questions... which means many more people are wondering in their minds if I have put on weight lately or am I pregnant. Well yes to both to all you inquiring minds. I guess with the fourth my body has just given up on holding things together- so I am just trying to embrace it ("trying" being the operative word).
As for family reaction- Makenna is thrilled. She seems to love me all the more these days and gets a funny little grin on her face when she looks at my tummy. She is really looking forward to mothering this baby. She's even told me when this baby is born she is going to be the mom- so we'll see how that goes.
Brayden is excited and very adamant about it being a boy. He actually gets really mad when anyone refers to it as a girl. I really would love a boy or girl- either way is fine by me- but for his sake- a boy would be good.
Brielle is, of course, to young to get it. The day we told the kids she came up to me and pointing to her hip- said "your baby right here?.... at that point my hip area may have been larger than my stomach so I could see her logic. Since then she hasn't mentioned it.
Kevin is happy- a proud dad who loves his kids and has been wanting another baby for a while now- finally got his wish!

Yay! Congrats! It sounds like I am just 2 weeks behind you then! (Yeah, I haven't outed myself yet because I still look like usual. It's the one time I feel like it's a blessing to have a very long torso.) I hope the sickness goes away soon for you. What's your due date then? I think mine is Nov. 19th. I didn't want another fall baby, but you take what you get I guess. :)
