1,2,3,4....5

It is time for me to admit to you the real reason I haven't been blogging much lately.

Over the past few weeks I have been sick. Sick sick sick.

I have spent the last 4 weeks being taken care of by this guy.

#1

#2

What would this girl have done without him?

Picture compliments of my 3 year old. LOVELY!

#3

This little girl would have been neglected.

#4

and so would this little girl.

Bless her heart...she's trying to show you the #4.

#5

Because this little baby has been baking in my belly and making me feel really really yucky.

That's right.  In January we will become a family of 5.

Here we grow again!

I am so excited about it, but becuase I have been feeling so bad it has been a built up excitement. I had gotten very comfortable being a family of 4 and wasn't really sure I could handle having anymore kids. I'm crazy as it is. The Lord had other plans for our family...and 5 it is. 

I have spent the last 4 weeks hovering over the toilet...and if I'm not hovering over the toilet, I'm crying. I have been an emotional basket case. Seriously, just call me waterworks. I really have 31 more weeks of this? I only hope the nausea goes away sooner rather than later so I can enjoy carrying this baby. Ha! Who am I kidding? Anybody who knows me knows how much I hate being pregnant, but the end product is SO worth it.

We are finding out what we are having (no surprises for me, thanks - I want to be prepared), and while it would be great to have a little boy...we know how girls work...

so healthy is our only request.

PS - I was planning on doing a really cute blog post where everyone held up a sign with 1, 2, 3, 4 and then one of all of us with a 5 and pointing to my belly, but I just felt too bad to take any good pictures...hence the girls showing you their 3 and 4.
