Hello! Sorry not to have said much this last little while. Things have been a bit....different around here. We found out last month that we are expecting our fourth child. Now this is something that we had planned but we didn't think would happen until two or three months from now. I was on the pill and when we tried to conceive McKenna it took us six months after going off of the pill to get pregnant. This time it only took three. We are excited. The kids are very happy and very opinionated about what they would like me to have. McKenna, of course, wants a little sister....named Lisa. And Jona and George both want a little brother. If I go by my cravings we should be having a boy but if I go by how sick I am it is definitely a girl. The baby is due on February 9th or 10th but I have gone a week early with the other three so probably February 7th or 8th. I have been pretty sick with this one and weirdly the only thing that helps is sucking on rock salt. Strange I know but it does help. Also one of the few things that I can eat is lettuce with lemon juice and salt....Yum. We do have a couple of names in mind. Jillian if it is a girl and Jack if it is a boy....we think. Not sure about middle names yet. So that is the biggest reason that I haven't had much to say lately. I have just been trying to get past feeling yucky and tired. We had the first doctors appointment yesterday and we got to hear the heartbeat. That just makes it so real....that fast little beating that you hear and you realize you have a little life growing inside of you. I am a bit more apprehensive about this pregnancy than I was with the others. Not sure why. For some reason I feel like I am too old to be having more kids and I am only 31. I know that I am more anxious about the delivery. They have this new thing out called hypno-birthing that looks interesting but I doubt we will be doing that. The thought of an epidural is a bit more appealing in some ways but then I look at my sil who had one and her labor took forever....so I don't know. I guess we will cross that bridge when we come to it. Well I guess that is about it for now. I will try to sit down here more often but I can't promise too much.
