This post was going to be a FUN way to announce we are expecting our 4th child but I didn't get around to it! I got a new haircut and was going to put up a picture of that but it didn't get taken before Ryan went to work today so it is just a picture of my little belly showing so soon! Kind of not used to that! Normally it is around 20 weeks...
(I am happy in this picture but it was after 2 hours in nursery on Sunday!)
We are 15 weeks pregnant and are due around the end of July! Ryan doesn't want to find out if it's a boy or girl and I am okay either way but of course REALLY want to know what we are having so I can plan for it! I like to be ready for the little one since I will come home to 3 anxious siblings and a ton of laundry while being sleep deprived! It will be worth it...I know... but the stress of it might get to me!
We do have some names that we like but aren't 100%...Okay Ryan is but I am not 100%!! We do get to have our ultrasound the end of February at 18 weeks and we are not bringing the kids as we want to enjoy it! I took them to a doctor's appointment last week and I think the doctor was ready to pull his hair out, they were shutting the lights off, jumping off the exam table, touching the chemicals they have on the counter...You name it they were doing it so it was a quick visit and we will show them the pictures when we get home! Last night we told them, "Mommy has a baby in her tummy but the baby is really small still and will come during the summer when it is hot!" Chloe kept trying to look in the stomach by pulling my shirt up and Cooper said the baby wasn't ready to come down from Heaven yet! I love their reasoning! Also Cooper keeps telling us that if we have another girl then we will have to have 3 boys to take care of the girls!
So we are excited to tell everyone now as we have held it as a secret for so long! We have known since mid-November and thought about announcing so many times but finally just decided since I am starting to show and getting too small for my clothes we better start! And I think my sister-in-law's have known for awhile and just stopped asking!! I am bummed I dont get to do any half-marathons or even 10k's this summer but I can start training for next summer after this bundle of joy comes :)
My kids I think are missing McDonald's a couple times a week as I had a HUGE craving for Taco Bell almost every day! So we would swing by McDonald's for chicken nuggets and then go 2 blocks to Taco Bell and get me 2 cheesy crunchy gordita or a 7 layer burrito! Some days I would eat 3 - 7 layer burritos...Don't count the calories it is sad! But I have been able to work out off and on with this pregnancy just depends on the day! One yoga class a week is my goal but as the belly gets bigger it will be more challenging! My kids love going to the daycare at the Kroc Center where I work out so it works both ways!

Yay!!! Congratulations!! We are so happy for you guys :) Grayam saw me looking at your post and started screaming "Yay! Sisser Fwank! Sisser Fwank!" And right now he is saying "Hey, where's Sisser Fwank? I yuv her." So cute. Your little belly is adorable. I hope you find out what you are having - I just like to know, the suspense is too much :)
Congrats!! The day you e-mailed me and asked me if I was I had the thought that maybe you were but wasn't sure. We are excited for your family.
Congrats on the new little bundle. I can't believe how big your other kids are. The kids and I will be back in Hayden this spring while Jeremy does his internship so hopefully Tytan will get to play soccer again. Hope we get to see you!
yeah for number 4!!!! that is so great. good luck with not finding out what it is though, my bet is you'll cave.
That is so cool, our kids will be close in age.
Carrie you look great. I am sure you will be back into shape by next years races. This year you'll just be on the side lines. I know how that feels. Finally you admit that your pregnant. I think I have mentioned it like 20 times that your pregnant. Hello you always end up pregnant right at the end of mine. Congrats.
so...mysterious dr appointments...do mean something ;)
Congrats...and Happy Healthy Pregnancy....
Congratulations!!! And by the way, I don't think you are showing at all. You should see what I look like after I have eaten dinner...LOL I'm excited for you. I think it would be to hard not to find out. But then again you do have one of each. Good luck with the pregnancy!
Congrats! I am so happy for you! You look great. =)

I must put in my plug...it's been really fun not finding out what we are having! Lots of nerves as the time gets closer, but I'm SO excited to deliver and have that moment of "its a ...." Honestly, don't know if I will do it again if we have another, but it is super fun to try it once!
CONGRATS!! YAY, so exciting!!!
