totally unexpected

 

Never in a million years would I have guessed it.  Carl and I both cried right there in the ultrasound room!  I feel exactly the same as I did with the girls (wonderful) so I did not expect anything different.  But in keeping with this conception of this pregnancy...we found ourselves delighted by a totally unexpected surprise!  The girls are thrilled, and we have decided that this tiny guy will be well loved by many "little mothers". 

So, even though this is our 4th baby, we are off on a brand new adventure!

Now for a name.... 
 

You'll never believe it

When we first saw it we didn't either!

With three girls, I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around a little boy! I would've never guessed.  Carl and I cried right there in the ultrasound room.  Not out of sadness, but out of total shock and overwhelming joy. There is, however, a bit of a disconnect.  In fact, most days I forget that I'm pregnant.  Life is just so full of little girls- feeding them, clothing them, teaching them, loving them...I sure hope there is enough of me to encircle one more little person!! I am comfortable, healthy, and in that "honeymoon" phase of pregnancy.  It doesn't take too much of my existance to grow this little guy. Give me a few more months and I'm sure that I'll be singing a different song!!  I know that I'll get there. Always do.

Just a quick little post to say that I am here. I am at complete and total odds with my laptop. It is wearing itself out and me too. I absolutely do not have the patience to deal with technology that isn't working properly. Crashing, freezing, remaining stuck in "sleep" mode...I almost threw in in the trash one evening. Most days I don't even take the time to wrestle with it. Thank goodness for my iphone that has kept me connected to the outside world. I am really hoping Santa brings me a new Macbook for Christmas, but I am not holding my breath.

We are all well. Learning, loving, and growing (mama too!). I will try and muster up the gumption to post more frequently. We have some very exciting news to share!!
