welp, we are doing this again. baby number four is delightfully and fully in the works, due mid october. we did this fun little announcement recently.
we are so excited at the thought of expanding our family, but also totally unsure of how we will adjust to being a family of six. and we have NO IDEA what it will look like if this little one turns out to be a brother. we will most certainly be finding out because a boy will take some time to adjust to and ill want to try and wrap my head around that before the moment of his arrival. the kids will all share a room regardless, at least for a few years. as of now we feel like a boy would be a big adventure and a girl would be simple and in our lane. ivy recently told her sunday-school teacher that if its a brother she is going to fart in his face. so there's that...
as of now, this pregnancy has been everything i expected. lots of puking, weight-loss and some iv fluids because i can't keep water down. in addition, i have debilitating exhaustion which means i nap daily with ivy ann (which, lets be honest, has been unbearably sweet) and i go to bed when the kids do. my house is not nearly as tidy as it usually is, laundry is perpetually undone, i cary barf bags in my car, purse and camera bag, and our school schedule has been stretched and flexed to the maximum capacity. i have had to be content with doing the best that i can and knowing that it wont benefit anyone for me to push myself too hard, as i will end up being even more sick and less able to be upright and present.
the girls are thrilled and i know they will greet this one in with a big hearty welcome.
