Exciting News!

WELLLLL! We are having another baby! Ahhhhh! I was in total shock when I got a positive pregnancy test on December 20th. Yeah I know how babies are made but let's just say we weren't trying or planning to have another one anytime soon but God definitely had different plans. We are excited though! So this baby will be due in late August, Luke will turn 2 August 3rd, and Marshall will be 3.9. So here we go, 3 under 4! CRAZY! 

I do want to document this pregnancy like I did the others because I enjoy looking back at the posts.
This was on Christmas day so I was only like 5 weeks but we ate a lot. haha! Food baby!

Feeling- from about 6 weeks on I have been nauseous. Just an all day yucky feeling some days worse than others and it seems to be worse at night. I had an awful 3 day stomach bug during my 7th week and the entire time I thought it was pregnancy. I thought that was how it was going to be for the rest of the pregnancy and I thought I might die but thank goodness that passed. I have been absolutely tired and worn out most days. I try and nap when the boys do.

 Cravings- nothing sounds good half the time. Coffee started sounding awful around 6 weeks and started sounding good again around 10 weeks. Different things have sounded good but mostly carbs like muffins, cookies, crackers, pizzas, popcorn, soups, and cheese, But I have craved some healthy things like apples and nectarines thank goodness. I will say my stomach issues are a lot better than previous pregnancies since I'm taking the probiotic and magnesium supplements. I've been taking an omega supplement at night too and sleeping like a rock when the kids aren't waking me up of course.

We had our first ultrasound at 8 weeks 1 day and baby measured exactly 8 weeks 1 day. I didn't even ask what the heartbeat was. Oops third baby! haha

At 10 weeks I got the genetic blood test done that also detects the gender. That will be a separate post with a video of us doing a gender reveal! 

10 weeks


I'm so excited and nervous to find out the gender because obviously I want a healthy baby but really want a girl. If its a boy I will still be happy. Since we are 99% sure this is our last baby its bittersweet to find out the gender. I almost want to wait until the baby is born but I just cant!
