Confirming Rumors

So I have decided to confirm the rumors milling around me. To silence the strange and curious looks I often get. Yes we are expecting, again. We are not exactly sure on a due date, somewhere between August 15 and September 1. Which makes me anywhere from 16-19 weeks along. I will be getting my official ultrasound sometime the first part of April and hopefully that will be able to tell us a more definite date and also what the sex of the baby is. We are excited, especially Caden and Tyson. Caden asks me about every other day, "So mom, you really are pregnant? There is a baby growing in your tummy." What a cute boy. When I tell him he is correct, I get this, "YES!" from him and then he is off doing whatever is was before he asked me the question. I am hoping for a girl, then Kamryn will have a sister to play with and I can feel good about being done having children. Greg was done after Caden, but somehow I keep getting my way. If it is a boy, Greg is still definite that we are done, and I will probably agree, but still wonder if there is another little girl somewhere for us. The first part of this pregnancy has been very hard. I have been pretty sick, exhausted, moody, etc. My doctor tells me it gets worse with each pregnancy, and that I am only getting older and muscles more loose. Geez, exactly what I want him to be telling me. My poor family has had to put up with me, but thankfully things are starting to mellow quite a bit. I still am exhausted all the time, I'm sure part of this is working full time nights with no sleep when I get home the next day. My kids are learning to leave me alone the day after I get home from work. Poor kids! But on the upside we are almost half way done, and the weather is finally starting to warm up. I am always more moody during winter. Well, I will try and keep everyone updated as we learn more.

So it is true! I don't really blog or even really check blogs anymore, but had heard through the grapevine about your exciting news. That is awesome and how nice that you're almost halfway through. Let us know when you find out what you're having. You're pretty good at making the fall babies. Aren't all your kids' birthdays in the fall?
Congratulations!
