An Annoucement

I had to take the pictures with my phone camera because my doctor ran out of paper.

For the past two months if you hadn't noticed I have been a little sluggish and its all in part of the fact that I am prego with Baby #4!

The #4 is expected to come sometime at the end of May or early June. Still don't know due date due to the fact that #1 I don't know when my last period was and #2 my doctor's office on my first visit was with her nurse practitioner and she decided to tell me that my doctor wasn't delivering babies anymore. What! Who does that to someone without telling them on the phone when you made the appointment a month ago! Obviously it was just decided that the doctor wasn't going to do prenatal care anymore but still.

To make a long story short Trent has a friend who just so happened to have his wife deliver a baby with this same exact doctor back in September and got a hold of her about me because he has personal contact with her because he does some marketing consulting for her.

But I knew deep down that she would take me despite all that has gone on so far. I just saw her in April and had a great visit and told her alot of personal things and so I knew that once she heard my name she would take me.

Sure enough I got a personal phone call from her telling me that she was sorry for all that had gone on and to come in and see her. I don't know when my last period was so we were going off an estimated date and was told that I was 15 weeks but then she hooked me up to her ultrasound machine to start measurements and the baby was pretty active but she was able to calculate that I am 18 weeks! Wow that's a big difference but she wants me to go to a special ultrasound place to find out for sure my due date and to finalize all of this madness.

My doctor could also tell the sex of the baby so I've got to be this far along but she didn't tell me because Trent wasn't with me and I didn't want to find out myself so now I have to wait until the 10th of January.

What a whirlwind of an experience but all I care about is that I am healthy and the baby. The first trimester was awful and I got night sickness and it was just so different from the first 3. The only thing that made me feel good was to eat which was different as well from the others.

My kids were well aware of my favorite seat in the house it was the very corner of my couch! I sat there alot and slept alot. This one has really tuckered me out maybe because I have 3 others to care for as well but man I can't wait to feel energized again. Its slowly coming back and I actually have a desire to exercise.
