Yes, I'm pregnant.
What do you get when a certain prescription runs out and you're in a new town & don't have a new Dr. to refill that prescription? Add to that a toddler nursing less and less everyday resulting in a certain friend returning once a month at exactly the same time as said prescription running out. Any math wizards out there? The answer is, here comes baby #4.
How far along am I? I think about 7 weeks. It's hard to say exactly but I'll let you know a due date when I find out.
How am I feeling? Pretty good. I had some all day sickness last week but I've been able to keep that at bay. However, I am extremely tired. Extremely. Anytime I sit down for more than 2 min. I fall asleep. It's hard not to down some caffeine just to be able to keep up with the other kids.
Am I hoping for a girl? I would be lying if I said that I don't want a girl at all. I'd love to have a girl. On the other hand, We love having just boys. Another boy would be so much fun and much easier. So whatever God gives us, I'll be happy. Really, honestly, whatever we get, I'll be happy. By the way, we've just started telling people, and already people feel the need to share with us what they hope our baby is. I really hate this. If you have an opinion on what you want this baby to be, please keep it to yourself. Ok that sounded mean, sorry. It really is a pet Peave of mine.
What am I craving? I've been craving really bad for you fatty fried foods. Yesterday I just HAD to have the Dairy Queen chicken strip basket with the gravy dipping sauce. Nothing sounds better than bacon and eggs in the morning. Basically, if you cook it in butter or oil, I want it.
I've been walking the boys to (and sometimes from) school everyday. It's about a mile each way. So, I'm hoping that by walking 2-4 miles everyday that I can keep extra weight gain from coming. I did just get back into my size 4 clothes. I actually wore a pair of pajamas the other night that I wore in college. I guess I can kiss that goodbye.

Congrats again!
But, I wish you a healthy, happy pregnancy and I can't wait to read all about it! Congrats once again, Florida was really meant to be...
Scott, I loved your post on your blog,so sweet.
Robin
And congratulations AGAIN! I'm so happy for you!
ALL I wanted to eat in the first trimester of my pregnancies was the worst sort of junk - Doritos and gingerale were pretty much all I could hold.
It's so neat to start reading about your pregnancy. The DQ stop sounded delicious!

Congrats, congrats, congrats to you and Scott!
I too, hated the "tryin for that girl, eh?" Or, when she WAS a SHE, "You got your girl, eh?" Blecccch.

I don't know if it works for pregnancies or not, since I have never been pregnant, but a couple of months ago, I started taking an iron supplement and my energy is way up! And it lasts all day! (or at least longer than caffeine does). Just an idea.
SO HAPPY FOR YOU~!! Boy or girl that kid is lucky to be getting such a cool mama.
xxoo.
We all know that the sex doesn't really matter when it comes to being blessed with another baby. I mean how could it really matter when you look into that precious little one's eyes?
Good luck on combating the tiredness. Wow. I had a tough time working and keeping up with my son when pregnant with my daughter, I can't imagine the challenges some days with trying to keep up with three gorgeous boys!!
I am truly very happy for you and Scott.
