...and baby makes four!

No, it's not a typo...we're having another baby! :) We've known for a while but have been waiting to blog it so we could tell family first.

My due date is February 12, 2010...which makes me just over 7 weeks pregnant now.

Here was the test, I had never used a digital before, so seeing the word 'pregnant' really made my heart skip a beat! :) This was June 5th.















Last week, on June 22nd we had an ultrasound. We got to see baby's heartbeat and it was 140 beats per minute...which is perfect. Baby was also measuring perfectly - all wonderful news. I know it doesn't look like much, but the arrow points to the baby, and below the baby is the yolk sac. This day they measured baby at .83 inches...teenie-tiny!!













I am very thankful that I'm feeling pretty good, better than with the other three kiddos. I'm starting to get pretty exhausted, but the nausea is minimal. With the others the nausea was horrible! Oh, and no, we will not be finding out what we're having, so you'll all have to wait until February :) We did tell the kids, and they are very excited...helping us pick out names, asking how big baby is, how much longer until baby comes out, etc...it's very cute. This pregnancy will be different with a 4 and 6 year old that want to know everything that's going on!

We continue to pray for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. We are so excited and blessed to be expecting another little miracle!
